I went last weekend for the first time and tried a few of the so called "walleye" rigs you buy and couldn't buy a bite. Switched it up with a couple spin and glows and cookies that I had in my bag and we caught four. Ended up having a killer time on the boat with my brother and son.
Just looking for a few ideas that guys are using. We are gonna be up on the Snake around the Palouse.
Nice having a boat!!

For the first trip I thought we did pretty good trolling. Huge learning experience! Hopefully we can learn something each time out and refine our techniques! Seems like a really fun fishery that we have close by.

Thanks! I don't have any of those types of plugs. Only kind of plugs I've ever used was on the river systems on the west side for salmon and steelhead. Pulling wiggle warts and tadpoles. Time to go shopping!!

Down on the stretch of the Snake you're referring to I have caught Walleye, catfish, bass, steelhead and chinook on plugs in the same day. My go to is the fatfish (similar to a wiggle wart) in herring bone color, orange with black stripes on the side. Wiggle warts and hotlips are good there to. This was in the fall, late September/early October.

Picked up a few plugs and some crawlers. Gonna run a few different set ups and see what's working. Gonna be hot so getting an early start. Once it warms up how deep should I look for the bite?
Don't run plugs and spinners at the same time unless you like detaingling all the lines on the boat as they cross up

^^^This, plus speeds vary to fish each effectively.

diving characteristics of the individual plugs. Dive info listed on end of packaging.

Thanks, I’ll be in a smaller lake that’s not really deep.
