a chance to get back out on Rogers Lakewood Lake near Valpo this afternoon. Decided to take the puddle jumper and troll for crappie or walleye. Here's my set up trolling out the back of the boat. I also decided to bring my Vex along and see if I could get used to using it before the ice comes..



I was trolling in about 10 feet of water and caught this keeper crappie. I was hoping this was just the start of a mess but it was the only one I landed. Caught it on a bare hook with a minnow.



I also just worked around the lake to get to know it better. I was marking something in about 25 ft of water, suspended at around 10-15 ft but couldn't get any takers. It was fun using the vex and getting an idea of how to use it.
