This lake I fish in is only 30 ft deep at it's max depth, last year being a low water year, I don't think it went over 25 ft. Don't get me wrong, catching 40 in not normal, it was just a good year for the eyes. Our average catch per day was 6 to 12 eyes, with a couple of 20 fish days. The average depth we were fishing was 6 to 12 ft using bottom bouncers. Sounds like bottom bouncing could work for your lake as well, have you tried that method? Last year was my first year of having that much success at catching walleye and I owe it to the guy I was fishing with, mike4cobra. Mike is a tournament walleye fisherman and really knows his stuff on Walleye. Yes, I live in Utah and you are welcome to come up and fish with me but this being my second year of fishing for the eyes with this newfound knowledge I really don't know if it will be another good year or not. The catching really doesn't turn on here until the water temps hit 45 to 50* but we might start catching a few per spawn eyes, as soon as the ice is off. Does the lake you fish freeze in the winter?
