Getting ready for my 2nd trip over to the Detroit River. Our group is so ready to go, we decided to leave Wednesday night instead of thursday morning. We're just gonna troll all night since we can't get into our hotel until Thurday afternoon.

I hope you eastsiders saved a few walleyes for us. :-)

No. We'll either be trolling with bottom bouncers and Rapalas/Shad Raps or in the shallower waters dragging meat. Probably be jigging in the daylight hours.

We certainly had a great time on the D this year. 3 day..3 man limit every day. Day 1, 3 man limit in just under 4 hours. Day2, 3 man limit in 5 hours. Day 3..3 man limit in 8 1/2 hours in rough conditions. Pic below is our day 2 limit. Got into some hogs. For reference, the little one in the upper right is 16". Looking forward to next year already.
