On a mid-October day during that fall, I happened to be drifting along a weedline with the boat holding in about seven feet of water when a walleye ate the jig and minnow combination that was dragging behind. I landed the fish, rebaited, and quickly repositioned the boat for another pass over the spot the fish had come from. That pass resulted in another 17-inch walleye in my net. The next two passes produced similar results.
