what is a good speed for trolling for wipers and walleye

[ragnar]

Went out trolling yesterday at eldorado. If I was under 2.5 I caught channel cat. Over and I caught white and walleye and 1 wipper.

Good job Don and I like hearing about those higher trolling speeds since my rig won't go slower than 2.6 mph....it looks like you have learned how to catch those walleys from Shane....I'm needing some lessons

Nice job Don... Hope to get back out with you again soon. I love catching those eyes..

WTG. Sounds like you got your boat back or you hitchhiked a ride with someone. I still owe you a fishing trip out of my boat, if we can make it to the lake. haha

Made it out yesterday evening to El Dorado on the spur of the moment and did some jigging and trolling. Originally planned to go out Tuesday evening, but scrapped the trip when the weather radar made it look like El Dorado was going to get rain all evening. Two hours later, the storm was quickly falling apart. So last night they forecast scattered storms, we'll one was scattered right on top of the lake. Sprinkled for a while, then flat out poured for about 5 minutes then was clear the rest of the evening. Fish bit before and during the rain, but seems to slow up majorly afterward. Picked up white bass and wipers trolling and jigging spoons. Walleye were fewer but caught a couple good ones. Largest was 24in. Biggest came off a point on a sexy shad crankbait.

Nice job guys... We have been chasing the wipers this last week. All I can say is, my hands hurt... Did pick up these nice eyes late last week. Stilling pulling cranks about 2.4mph in 18- 8 fow.
