Troll slow (1-1.5mph) along shore at night after opener in May. I start at Ford plant and go southwest slow and watch the rocks. After water is 60 dgress go deeper 45 fow+. Worm harnes with leadcore line. Dipsy divers with rainbow challenger lures work well. when water is 70+ degrees go deeper and faster (around 2mph) 60 fow+ 80 fow 75degrees A1 fishing, stop and start once in a while, watch the hit. fresh big worms!!!

Later

I know that Lake Erie walleye fishermen get a bad rap for not telling info. on the walleye catch out on the lake. Well if anyone wants to know about fishing the lake give me an email and I will try to help you out the best I can. I've fished lake Erie with my father and friends for over 25 yrs and we have done well on our catch. Last year we went in 6 tournaments, placed in the top 10 in 5 tourn., placed in the top 5 in 4 tourn. and won one tourn. All I can say is that there are a lot of walleye out in that lake, and in the 6 tourn. we fished, we caught over 230 walleye. Pay attention to the fish finder, make sure you save every time you catch a fish and record what you were doing!

Good fishing!
