On Sunday morning I'm pretty sure I saw you in Rabbit Gulch - the wife & I were in the small 12 foot aluminum gray/green boat trolling toward the back of the bay. We started about 10 am till noon and were using the electric motor and worm harnesses.
I never had a depth finder for my little boat but had found an old suction cup bracket and I was able to convert my ice fishing fish finder to work great in my little Starcraft.
The depth finder turned out to be the key to finding an under water hump that was 12' deep with 30' all around it. We would start trolling on top and about at 20 feet deep we would send down the 3 oz. worm harness weights and it was like a feeding freezy.
We only had two dozen night crawlers and once we got into the fish it was non-stop action. By the end of the worms we had boated at least 30 perch and kepted 10 and had at least 10 walleye and kept 4 with the biggest just over 20 inches. The wife did have big eye of the day do the self release out of the net that was probably close to 25".
I want to thank Tudedude for his great recon - I have fished Starvation many times before but mostly at the North or South ends or by the dam and also the wall acrossed from the main ramp but never have fish Rabit Gulch much accept for the major points that go into the bay.
