I've been getting some encouraging walleye reports from Muskegon Lake so I decided to give it a go on Saturday with a buddy. I had some down riggers that I bought from CBGale a few years ago and decided to try them out. I mounted them overhanging the transom slightly on my bass boat. That proved to be a bad idea because it was tough to get to them without falling out of the boat. The 2' chop certainly didn't help. We trolled in 30' in the channel and caught nada. We were marking fish but couldn't buy a bite. Finally gave up on the down riggers and trolled a weed line in 6 FOW and managed a 16" bass. Too bad the season isn't open yet. It was still fun in spite of the cold and wind. My boat ran great and trolled nicely with the trolling plate, but I really need to rethink the downrigger location.
