Hooked a second wpier just off the bottom 100' back off my downrigger, lost it because my net was tangled. Also caught a decent walleye on an SR5 in Purpledescent off the rigger. Dragged it around for a while because it didn't even pop the black clip.
Ended up with 4 walleyes, mostly on the smaller side. Tried a bunch of different stuff, including Thin Fins and SR5's off a 2oz bottom bouncer. Not sure I reached the bottom, but no hits on that rig. Most off SR7s in black/Silver. About 2.4MPH, 80' off the boards. I'm thinking it will pick up soon.
If those walleye are on the smaller side, I'd like to hear what their length was? Pics can be deceiving, too bad you didn't put something by them so we could gauge their size. Did you happen to notice what the water temp was?
