Went to McKenzie bay this weekend had a blast!
Ended up catching 20 or so walleye inside the bay, only kept like 3 eaters just over 14"... rest were barely pushing 10"-11".. if that....
The main part of the bay is 70' deep... and goes back 5-6 miles....
do I NEED to go to the main lake to get bigger walleye?? my boat is only 16' with a 75hp.... so unless its dead calm, seems kind of risky.... we were in the smaller points and bays hiding from the wind...fishing between 10' - 25' of water
other theory why they were so small this weekend is the small storm rolled over Friday morning, few claps of thunder ... cleared up by noon... maybe bigger fish went inactive?? we only fished Friday and Saturday
