Deer Creek Walleye 9/26

[Trolling71]

I decided to make a quick run to Deer Creek yesterday after putting some new seats and electronics on the boat, launched at the island about 12:30pm was trolling near the island getting use to my new electronics first pole bent over within 5 minutes of being in the water it was a chunky 15 inch rainbow continued trolling noticed some schools of baitfish in about 30 feet of water and suspended about 8-10 off the bottom found some good fish marks near the baitfish had a hunch they were suspended walleye switched bait to 4 and 5 inch rapalas one in rainbow trout pattern and one in a perch pattern trolled back through the areas I marked the baitfish and saw the rod with the rainbow pattern slowly start bending back sure enough it was a 17"-18" walleye zig zagged my way back through a few times and picked up 6 more walleye then couldnt find the baitfish anymore and my walleye fun was over but had some great fish to fillet. The rainbow pattern out did the perch pattern 5 to1
