With the lack of good ice right now and all open water where I'm living, my brain is getting ready to get the boat rigs setup. I've always been a jig & live bait guy for walleye fishing, but I'd like to learn to catch fish by trolling. I'm down in Iowa where the walleyes are harder to come by (at least in the central part of the state) and it seems like that's how most fisher-people are catching walleyes here. I'm curious what would be considered good, reasonably priced rod/reel rigs to use, are planers necessary, and any general tips on being as successful as one can when trolling. I'll most likely use leadcore line, but don't know what lb test to use. I'd most likely only have 2-3 lines max when trolling, as we're allowed up to 3 lines for open water in Iowa. I'd also most likely troll Walker Bay this summer on Leech as well. Again, any best practices would be appreciated as i don't really know where to start on this technique.

there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
We get eggs from locals who have chickens. The difference in shelf life between washed and unwashed eggs was weird the first time I heard it. Months for unwashed; maybe a month for washed.
Farm fresh is a fair amount different than from the grocery store. Bigger yolks and thinner shells are two of the more noticeable differences. I had my first red yolk eggs a few weeks ago. Kinda freaked me out but it’s no big deal really.
