If you trailer your boat, you can go further and further East as the summer progresses. I have trouble catching walleye West of Kelly's past the 4th of July. There are plenty of people who know how to fish the resident fish in the western basin. I have not been successful with that. We have had better success fishing for walleye out of Lorain and Ashtabula later in the Summer. I still am a beginner and I've found it easier to catch later season walleye out of these locations. I've also found the bait stores out East are more helpful with giving you an idea where to fish than the western basin shops I visit. The bait shops in the Western basin never seem to want to give much information while the bait shops in Lorain and Ashtabula always have a grid marked with the areas people are having success. That alone has really helped me out.
