my second outing of the season (First was a goose egg).
I like to think of myself as a pretty good stick but in all reality that only applies to certain applications.
I have fish the mighty Mississippi for a number of years mostly from shore with better than average success from winona to redwing both sides wisc and mn sides.
lots of shore time plus lots of questions equaled confidence that translated into successful trips.
now the humbling part is fishing from a boat opens the door to a diffent world.
in my mind the great walleye fisherman are versitile who can put fish in the boat in a variety amount of ways be it being vertical ..pitching dragging trolling lindying 3waying handlining ..you get my point.
I like to think I’m good at pithing..hair and plastics..what else can you do from shore..lol.
my point is every new trip in the boat is a sucsess.
and being open-minded having patience asking question can will and is for me paying off.
This last outing arriving at Everts Steave gave me the lowdown on whats been working..Lindy rigs with live bait. 
not my cup of tea..why cause its something I haven’t had to do nor cared for it but as I desire to become a better fisherman I became willing to learn.
well with the wind and boat control it was a real pain..
battle battle and more battling ..no fish. went back to dock..poked around for about half an hour not sure if I wanted to go home or not…decided to give it another wack..bingo fish on..then another fished for another hour before I had to call it…low on gas..ran into a buddy at dock..hopped in his rig he asked whats working I told him I think I got a pattern….yup sure enough we did pretty well. thanks steave for the tips and info in helping a guy who thinks hes good get better.and all the ones who answers question via PMs.. for the night I took hone 5fish very nice eaters and a 24incher was cpr’ed
I cant wait till Friday to doing again..one thing I do know is when it comes to the river..” what worked today..wont necessarily work tomorrow “..
