Well its been a hard few weeks to find Walleye in the upper bay. Varied techniques and at least 6 outings with no more than 1 eye to show per outing. I figured i would head out early this morning after fishing Rice Lake for the last few days with great success, and try to beat the myriad of boats and PWC's that would be zinging around the bay. I managed to track down a school of eye's chasing shad on some weed flats in great numbers.
I hit the water at 6am, had my limit by 8 am... all in all, 9 Walleye, many lost, 7 bass (released!), 2 Sheep and a 7 lb pike to boot ! Man what a great day. The fish are not in the usual spots this year. I had to really search but managed to find them on the weed flats in 7-10 FOW. I was nailing 2 fish per pass and lost just as many
Pretty good day considering i didn't even have to venture farther than Belleville / Big Bay. Water was flat, the weather was beautiful !!! Caught fish on spinners, cranks, jigs and fergies.
