He won $160 for his efforts. Gift cards also went to John Slader, Edward Robillard, and Phil Meyer. The Knee Deep Clubs next contest will be for walleye on May 22nd and 23rd. That season will open up again on May 1st. Despite some cooler water temps, there were many walleye caught this week.  These fish are mostly shallow, with the large majority of them taken on stickbaits and swimbaits. We are open early with boat rentals, live bait and tackle. Have a great week !
