Sounds like a good time and a good set-up you got there but im more of a troller. When i head out for walleye and pike i tend to use a bottom bouncer with a charteuse spinning walleye rig with a slice of beef heart attached to it and just have the boat moving as slow as possible and the pike and walleye hammer all day, on a good day i can usually catch about 40 walleye and about 40 pike so the arms are tired after a day like that, so we end up goin back to camp and stretch our arms out so they arent stiff the next day by swilling back the brews but for some reason our heads our really sore the next day after our stretching
