Just moving back from the Portland area after flight instructing for a year. Heading to potholes Friday and Saturday. Have people been having any success out there? I’ve always struggled a little during the colder months. Figure I’ll troll bottom bouncers or flicker shad until I find them and then try blade baits once I’ve found them. I have heard lots of people refer to fishing the dunes, however I am not sure where they are. Would they be labeled on a Navionics map?

"The Dunes" is pretty much the whole north portion of the lake.
Google Earth will show you what the dunes look like:

you would be better off fishing the face of the dunes this time of year. To low to get back in the dunes. look for the boats. there is always a few out there. anywhere from the st park to crab creek. And yes if you find a hump that has fish, definitely give the blades a go. The numbers are way down do to over harvesting so if you catch any of those bigger fish, Please give some thought into releasing them. :tup:

Thanks for the info! And yes good point about C&R. I fish walleye more so for the sport and not so much for the food :)
