I’ve placed relative well a number of years in a pretty significant walleye tournament. It’s my “home lake” so I know how to get fish.

The non-local dudes who win it catch fish in places I’d never even considered. They’ll say stuff like “the water was 64* at the 5ft depth, so we knew they should be deeper, but the clarity was below typical and it was sunny out so we found a place where it jumps from 20-12ff relatively quickly. We checked out the stomachs of recent local catches and found these little nibs that we knew hatched in coons tail weed. That’s how we found them”
