I have good success on all my Shad Rap's. All colors like perch,shad,blue and chaurtruse work.I too fish Chautauqua,and I'm still learning it.Wally Divers too.Something new I try,is trolling very slow in spring,with the trolling motor,the stern one,on med.and the bow on and off.Rapalas have been very good to me.

It's not one of your options, but I love to troll the Floating Original Rapala in size 18 for shallower night-time 'eyes. Find fish relating to deeper structure during the day that has a nice adjacent feeding shelf or weedy flat in the 8-15' zone and longline these big raps at dusk for some big walleye.

Can't believe I've forgotten about that!! #13 and #18 Floaters at night in really shallow water. Spring and fall. Has accounted for two of my friends biggest Walleye's and my second biggest.

lets keep a lid on these #13 and 18 originals ok boys! Never use them in shad or firetiger or silver, it never catches big walleye.
#5-13 originals, handlining the detroit river!

I like to use several, but have to say my most productive for walleyes last year was #8 gold/black. Northerns loved my #9 clown.

Number 18's are the way to go for big night time eyes! Chart/silver #1. JJ John M. Stroff Jr.
