Next Sat I'm planning to take a neighbor and his 5 year old fishing at Willard for their first fishing trip. I've fished willard once, three years back, caught a couple walleyes with bottom bouncing worm harnesses. That was my first time targeting walleye. Perhaps it was beginners luck, so I'm not feeling real confident in my ability to put them on at least a fish or two. Likely will be my only boat trip this summer until after hunting season as I drew a LE elk tag.
Plan is to get out early (avoid powersquad as much as can) launch south end, and just start trolling towards freeway bay with one or two bottom bouncers and a couple shad raps out back a ways (I'm not set up for side planners). Probably keep it around or just over 1mph to target walleye. Perhaps later pulling up bottom bouncers to increase speed for wiper prospects. Looking for feedback if that is a feasible plan, or if there are any better suggestions. Open to pms of course.
