I'm planning on making a trip up next week for some night shore walleye fishing. I went last week and caught nothing. Then it was to warm. Lots of bait fish. I can't seem to find anyone posting anything about the fishing. Can anyone give me a status report? Much appreciated
I can't give you a report but I am eager to hear one. I thought this forum would just go on silent mode until next spring.
I've found that the various Facebook groups for walleye fishing are still giving good information on where fish are being caught and what is working.
I'm guessing that it is starting to happen right now. I imagine that the bite is getting better every night.Quote:

yes, it is hit and miss, noticed several of the big fish on the walleye slam leader board were either shore or kayak so there are big fish moving into the shallows at night, I tried Jackson pier a few weeks ago millions of shiners everywhere. Going to try again sometime this week I will post how we doAttachment 8266 Jackson pier
Question when fishing the piers at night using big stick baits how slow should you retrieve, I'm seeing trolling speeds of 1.3 mph how does that relate to reeling in your line?
I've been trying at Indian lake for saugeye a couple of nights this week moundwood. Plan on going tomorrow too. It's been hit and miss. I've seen post of people claiming of catching 70 fish. All released. I go the next day and only two people caught two fish. It's been hit and miss here to. I hope they are in Monday night in Erie County.Quote:

My buddy who fishes alot from shore said 6 second per revolution was where he starts so going to try that HD recently caught a 9 + lbs walleye using a bandit from shore using that method
6 seconds per revolution? That would be painfully slow. I would mix it up and try a variety of speeds. I have found that medium speed and steady is best at night so they can track it and grab it. Medium speed to me would be about 1 turn per second or so. However, I would mix it up until you get results.Quote:
