Worm harness only
So, this is my first trip up to the great lake this year. I left Dayton Ohio around 1:30 am and arrived the mazuriks boat ramp around 4:30am. I am a solo fisherman, so it was just me. I took out and fished the ese corner of Kelleys Island orienting ne/sw runs. I set out a rod with a worm harness and a bandit. Around 8am exactly, I got my first bite, but it just nipped the tail of the worm. So I pinched off a little and threw the rig back in. This time I was making a turn and the 23 inch walleye slammed it. Long story short, I caught onto a pattern where if you slowed down or raised your rod tip up and down periodically, That would really trigger the aggressiveness. These walleyes were following the rig and waited for it to deviate. I reeled in my bandit and put it away and and got out another worm harness. I fished it at a different depth than the other one and both caught fish. In 90 minutes, I had my limit. All fish were 19" and up. Biggest was 24". I was running about 1.7mph. Anything faster and no bites. This was a great day up on lake Erie.
