If you are trying to find the Walleye and Steelhead you need to go out further. Out of Cleveland you need to head 20 miles North - North East into about 78 FOW. Keep your speed between 1.6 and 2.2 and see what you do. There are thousands of things to consider before throwing in the towel. Speed, Depth, type of line (affects amount of line you have out), do you have any scents (human or oils, perfumes...) on the line or tackle? is your boat too loud? what direction are you traveling? change things up a bit. Fishing in Lake Erie has become work nowadays - not instant gratification like 20 years ago. Hit me up if you need any other info. Good luck!
