We launched out of Snag Cove and motored up to the China Bend area. We worked the big eddie area where the catching was fantastic but the keeping was a bit tougher. I gave it a 5 because we caught 250+ eyes, unfortunately most were between 10 & 13 inches. We only kept 26 that we considered eating size, the biggest caught was right at 22 inches. I'd like to say one bait worked better but truthfully anything I threw worked including jigs, blade baits, a drop shot, jigging spoons and even a jigging rapala. We never even tipped our jigs with a worm because we didn't need too. There was a boat full of guys trolling worm harnesses around us that seemed to be doing OK but they had to have gone through a ton of night crawlers with those piranha like dinks everywhere. Didn't take any pictures because we never caught anything big.

Have you ever seen that commercial with the guy who says if I make one more cast my arm is going to fall off? That is how Glenn and I felt at the end of the day, even a little 12 incher felt huge as our arms kept cramping up reeling them in. We did see a lot of those dinks being cleaned down at the Kettle fish cleaning station but really do you have to clean 10 inch walleyes? Just me I guess but those are way too small to keep and clean no matter how bad I want to do a fish fry.

And the little guys eat the tails off my artificial bait as fast as they can take half the worm - kind of a no win, that's why when
I keep losing the end of what ever I'm offering I'll add a stinger - great reports, thanks for both of them - makes me want
to head to K'Falls rather than porky pine this week - there was a post on NorthwestWalleyeForum this past week where
a couple of guys added a pix of the two of them with 49 walleye - and their WN numbers on their boat were in plain sight.

We were using 3 inch senko's most of the day with green pumpkin and pumpkin, both with a chartreuse tip, working the best overall. Jig head color didn't really seem to matter for us, I used both red and black with equal success.
