what is a good speed for trolling for wipers and walleye

[shane]

I finally made it out to El Dorado to fish by myself after learning from Shane a couple weeks ago. I did pretty good after getting everything set up to troll. I caught this ~24 incher in the 1st 10 min. I caught another 10 b/w 12 and 20 1/2". Great Morning on the lake Saturday. Hopefully next time I'll find 1 more to cooperate to fill my limit.

Thanks again Shane for the coaching on trolling. The way it sounds, you took my buddy and his wife out for a great Morning yesterday. He was still excited last night when I talked to him.

You did all the work Tyson, I just helped with the little things like, GET THE NET! Glad you were able to put thing together and thanks for sending your friends out Sunday, we had a great time and had about 20LBS in the boat. Lost a huge one but more on that later...

Took Eric and his son (first time fisherman) Oscar out last night and caught these nice eyes on El Dorado Lake. Took 45 minutes to get our limit and Oscar had a ball. The 5.5lb walleye almost pulled him in but his dad did a great job helping him land this fish. I love the smile of a kid catching nice fish.

Crankbaits from 22 FOW to 6 FOW. Caught fish in both. 2.5mph was the key. Happy couple with their catch on El Dorado Lake.

Those are some nice Walleyes for sure! I may just have to make a trip down there to Eldorado and check this lake out in the near future!

OK let me post last night and I am done.. 26.5 and 25... Open water trolling is a great way to catch fish this time of year..

No small fish in my boat... My wife reminded me that it's our 15th anniversary so I might want to stay around. Wonder what she is inclining by that?? Answer, no but I really wanted to go. Have fun without me...

Those are some really nice fish! Care to share what type of crank baits you are using?
We normally use hot-n-tots or big bombers but we havent tried trolling for a couple years. I may have to give it a shot on Melvern this weekend.

I'll drink a few for you!!! Maybe I'll do some trolling Friday for some 'eyes'
