Get yourself the biggest glow red tingler spoon by vmc and use a whole minnow and your title should stay in tact. They have them at the gas station in Kelliher.

Well the VMC TUMBLER in a glow type of fire tiger was a killer. With three guys we Caught 95 fish in Three nights two days. Could have been a lot more but with limits in the bucket the group seemed to focus more on drinking and sleeping. Kept my walleye master title.  Started out with catching around 15 fish the first night from 4:30-12pm.

Buck shots worked well so did forage minnows.. Tingler was a BUST.

Had the double vision which has the FLX 28 on it, and my FL20. Last year I put all new batteries in my electronics and have kept batteries charged/maintained. I was floored how long the batteries lasted, when you have a good one.

Also, the FLX 28 is a solid unit. Glad I got it.

Just got done fishing Red on our way up to Lake of the Woods.  We fished out of Mort's.  Fishing was pretty good, if a little slow at times.  We fished in a sleeper in about 12 foot.  The bite was best in the late afternoon.  Can't wait to go back next year.  Hope you guys have good luck.
