That time of year again, when walleye fishing slows down and I hit the Lake Michigan
It's such a blast having that line scream out of your reel

Hey, give us those fish back!  In all seriousness, I would love to do that some day.  Been on my list for a while.  Really interesting to see how you guys run your gear.  Slightly different then we do it out here, but still effective.

Would be interesting to know the difference is of setup from there to here.
In this particular picture above, I was running 2 downriggers, 2 Dipsys and 2 Lead Core off of boards,  the rainbow are more active at this point so I was a little higher in the column

Thanks, I go back and forth between two boats. I have a 26' &  17' , if I plan to stay out for the weekend I bring the one with the cabin. But since I live an hour and a half away, on the times we just go for the day I bring out the smaller one  and save some gas

Just dropped 3 fish off to get smoke, we cut them up into small packages and seal a meal them so we have some throughout the year.

I'm not sure how far you are from Erie, if I was closer to it I would be living large on the walleyes out there

We are only allowed 1 rod per person.  I run Scotty downriggers, but some guys like Cannons or Penns.  Nobody uses planer boards out here. Usually a flasher or Dodger and a spoon or hoochie (plastic squid).  I am heading out to Neah Bay tomorrow and will try to remember to post some pics.

Awesome , good luck!
We're kind of spoiled out here with being able to use three poles, there's quite a few times I'm running 15 poles off the back of my boat. It's like a spider web of fishing line,but you have to be real careful when fish on!
