All I do is drift fish. I admit trolling in the central basin produces more fish; however, I enjoy the feeling of catching the fish as opposed to reeling in a fish the boat has already caught. I use worm harnesses. I catch most of my fish on a gold blade with orange beads. Erie Outfitters sells a nice blade called "baby walleye" that works well too. A half oz weight usually does the trick. 3/4 oz weight if it is rough. Hope this helps and enjoy this wonderful lake we have in our backyard.
