Just remembered to post some pictures from my walleye fishing trip along the Snake River, 11/9-11/14/17. Had some wet and windy weather but still caught fish. All caught trolling at 25-35' depth using crank baits; Reef Runners, Bay Rats, and Bandits.
Caught a few smallmouths and a pike-minnow. Excited for the next trip up to the Snake river. Posts show some walleye caught by friends Greg W. and Glen C. biggest being 14#. fun time.

Those are some great fish buddy!!!! What part of the Snake were you fishing, close to the confluence?
I noticed the boat driver wearing a Midway hat. I was on that boat for it's last 4 years of service stationed in Japan. I was in an F/A-18 squadron and very shortly after we returned to Japan from the Gulf War we headed the ship back to the states for retirement. I rode that boat back to San Diego where I got off it and transferred to the Blue Angles. It was the last time that ship was ever at sea.
My wife (who is from Japan) and I went to San Diego to see it last year at Christmas time. It was the first time I'd seen it since I sailed into San Diego on it 25 years earlier. It was a surreal experience, as soon as I hit the hanger deck the smells of JP-5 and Hydraulic fluid brought all the memories back in a flash.
Take care and catch some more of those great walleye!
