We had success on quality walleyes trolling crawler harnesses with #4 and #5 blades in various shades of purple, green and chartreuse. Trolling at about 1.2 mph along the defined 10-12 ft weedline was the most consistent for walleyes from 14-22 inches but fish were schooled up by size. Best areas with bigger sized fish had good wind and wave action. Don't be surprised to tangle with a scrappy smallmouth or toothy critter. Fun way to get kids involved with fishing as well.
