Re: Where are the walleye
They are not biting out past West Sister for us. Slow pick the last couple of days with lots of small ones. Very slow. We are heading east to Marblehead tomorrow. Hopefully better action there.

A worm burner is a stinger spoon with a few extra beads and a 2 hook harness behind it for rigging a night crawler. They work pretty good at times

Thanks to all for the advice. I think I'll look into the bow mount trolling option. It will likely require a new sonar unit but that's not a bad thing since my current one is pretty old.

Great advice on going out that far Capt Juls. I've taken my 21 ft Lund out to the weather buoy and it can be more than spooky-scared spitless if it starts to blow. Be careful.

The firing is only in area 1. It doesn't most of the reef complex, especially this time of year as I assume the walleye have moved north out into 25 FOW or deeper.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, casting is a lot more fun, especially with kids or impatient anglers. Trolling can be more productive at times but is not the same as holding the rod in your hands.
