we picked up the majority of those fish in 104 - 109 fow. went back out wed (9-17) fished same area,plus deeper and into 70 fow picked up 6.a couple of 5lbers the rest 18 to 20 inchers.the fish were scattered,no pattern plus it was quite a blow 3-5 footers.hard to give good presentation.we really worked for them.also 95 ft and less perch were grabbing on constantly couldn't keep the lines in long.the water did get mixed after ike and i dont think it really settled yet a lot of debre flotting around.it should set back up soon .lot of good fishing ahead for those true walleye hunters.most of our fair weather fishermen are talking themselves out of the game.this is the time of year where you make the news instead of waiting to hear about it.will be back out there soon and will post.keep the faith.good fishing tom & john

Finally got out this evening 9-19-08. The first spot we tried i caught a bass, the second spot my bud caught a large sheep head, the third spot we tried my other partner caught a nice walleye before it got dark. We used worm harnesses, colors greenist, silver&red and copper. the walleye was caught at the round house drift. The water was like glass. Still no limit. may try again tomorrow. Where are the walleye?

I went out today in the am. Left Sturgeon Pt. and went 3 mi west. There was a strong wind coming form the south. I was running into rollers all the way. I started trolling west then towards the microwave then towards Evans Bar. Nothing - it finally calmed down a little. Not even a hit. Finished with the same worms I started with. Anytime on the water is still a good time and beats work. BETTER days are coming!

Went out this morning, 9-25-08. started fishing around 9:00 AM. The water was perfect. Couldn`t ask for a better day to fish. But there was one problem, no walleye. I talked to a couple guys at the dock, no body caught any walleye. What`s going on? is it over? should i call it a year? Where are the walleye?

Tuesday I went out of the small boat harbor to the international marker buoy then trolled west for about 2 1/2 hours with an east wind at 5 kts. Waves about 1 foot but no walleye. Only one big sheephead.(42-50 fow).

Trolled back in a zig zag direction until noon. Nada ! I am thinking that as the water gets cooler, the fish will come in. When they do I'll be there. Small boat harbor will close for the season on Oct 15th.

Anybody know where can I launch later on in the year ?
