I don't think anything is top secret. Just a lot more people responding to Western Basin threads. I am a Western Basin fisherman. Until this year, did not fish Central Basin because I did not think it was productive. I was mistaken. This year, first try off Lorain, 6 walleye per hour trolling with 4 sticks. Tried off CLE, same results. Then, tried east of CLE (185th) same results - but 8 to 10 miles out. IMHO, fish are West, Central, maybe East too.
