We spent Tuesday sept 26 to this Tuesday on the east end of the lake. Very consistent temperature and that southern wind with a bit of cloud cover was great for walleye fishing. We followed the wind and fished wind blown points and shoreline. A few minutes on the graph showed us fish most places. We saw fish, caught those fish. We tend to fish lindy rigs but fished entirely jigs and minnows, (y-store had plenty of bait). Didn’t go to Big Bay but probably left some schooling fish for someone else. Caught fish all times of the day. Didn’t need to low light for success. Last two days of warmer temps and full sun slowed the bite a bit. Didn’t see the 30” pigs as others have referred to but saw plenty over 20 and many of those smaller fish to remind us of the future health of the walleye population. Got to love the jig bite…… -

That’s some seriously cool paint on those jigs! Do they make them in “happy” or just “mad”? 😉 -

At the Hwy 6 access on the west side. In the willows on the south side of the access. Full blown easy chair. You found a commode on Big Rice? It might be handy to know that is. 😉 -

Long tails on Shags? That’s interesting. I’ve never heard that was a thing. Are they calendar birds? They are still on my list. -

I got some micro plastics for my 2 mm jigs but I am looking for custom color combinations in 1/1.5 inch long plastics. I did get a thing of jigs and tell if you can figure out the team they represent. -

Took Finn over to my dad’s pond and there was one beautiful drake wood-duck on the far end of the pond. It flew off but we waited to see if any came back Saturday night.

Question
Guest
To anyone willing to give advice:
I am looking at buying a new trolling motor and fish locator for my boat.
I currently have a 21' Triton with a Motor Guide 107# thrust trolling motor. The reason I want to change out the trolling motor is mainly because of interference with the puck transducer on the lower unit and the torque of the trolling motor itself.
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with a PinPoint trolling motor and fish locator. The PinPoint has 5 transducers in the lower unit and is supposed to do a great job steering the boat automatically. I have also heard the PinPoint locators are some of the best on the market. So good in fact that you are able to see a split shot on the line in 20' of water.
Yesterday a coworker told me that PinPoint has stopped making trolling motors and has been bought out by Motor Guide.
I liked the idea of being able to connect the motor with the built in transducers to the locator with a single cable and from what I hear interference is all but eliminated.
The motor and locator would mean a large investment and I thought I would get some opinions from people who know before I spent the money.
Also the largest motor of this kind that is available that I can find is 80# of thrust and didn't want to under power the boat. I read on another forum that it should handle the boat because it is a true 80# thrust motor, whatever that means.
Thanks for any advice in advance and good fishing!
Thanks,
pleve
