Thanks for the help. Plan on trying around Bullfrog around mid May. Would that area OK in May?Helps if you use just one rod and hold it in your hand while keeping an eye on the fish finder so you can react quickly to the continuously changing depth. Best fishing is usually not on a flat.
And when he says "lose a few", my experience is you will lose a LOT.Just be prepared to lose a few! So many areas of the lake have steep dropoffs and rapid changes in depth, that it is hard to avoid getting snagged. I know others do well with the bottom bouncers, I have yet to find areas that both hold walleye AND are conducive to trolling with the bouncers...But I will admit to being impatient....
