You didn't post any photos...no worries.
MuskieBait is absolutely right on.
OT
It was definitely a wierd trip. If I caught back to back fish I would change location and or tactics but still no Walleye and no pike! For the most part I used a Jig with a paddle or twitch tail minnow or grub or some sort of deep divin crank bait. I also used a jerk bait and a spoon on certain occasions . I didn't really touch live bait because I've accumulated a 'Few' new lures over the winter and I wanted to show the wife that it was $$ well spent!
