Fairport / Mentor Walleye
Haven't seen much discussion on here about the walleye fishing in the Fairport Harbor / Mentor Lagoons area. We went out Friday morning and again Sunday morning. Action was slow. We used 30, 40, and Jumbo Jets with small stinger spoons. Also mixed in some dipsy's and crawler harnesses. On Friday, got one walleye in 52' on Jumbo/50 Jet and a blueberry muffin stinger. A few junk fish but no other walleye. According to the radio, the action was slow all over. Sunday was only slightly better. Marked lots of fish in 45'-53' range but no takers. Moved out to 61' and got a monster on dipsy set deep and nascar stinger. Moved back in to 45' and got another nice 'eye on 40 jet and blueberry muffin. Lots of sheephead and perch(!) while trolling. Again, the action on the radio was slow. I know "mum's the word" with charter boats, but any other recreational fisherman having any luck out of this area?

went straight out of the chagrin 52 ft this morning. Marked tons of fish, only managed to bring in a handful of White bass.
Moved out to 72 ft. Scattered marks. Caught two walleye. One was a Hog. Posting on the " Braggin Board" shortly. Both hit on the same rod. Big Dipsey 3 setting 140 back. Michigan stinger- perch colors with an eye at the top.
