I would go deep water for walleyes right now. If your in the Hamburg area near #2 buoy isnt a bad spot. I've been out in the tourney last 2 days off the Cat and everything caught has been near the top 35ft and up, normally fishing 55 - 60 foot of water. Water is pretty cold so its real slow. 62 degrees on top but deeper water is very cold. Early morning or right before dark is usually the best time to get em. We got 4 the first day with one weigher at 9.34 lbs second day we got 3 but biggest was 6.50 lbs. Hope that helps!!!

that helps alot what is good to use in deep water? i usuallycan only fish fish at night!! i never fished in deep water usually on about 12 ft

After the walleye spawn they move to deep water for the most part. Night time they come in shallower at times but I would try to be in 20 foot at least. Stick baits work best at night, daytime its all about worm harnesses but stick baits work too.

We ended up with 3 weighed fish for the southtowns walleye tournament 8.34 lbs, 9.39 lbs and 10.08 lbs....
