recent walleye action

[gregnwtf]

April Ice out fishing on western Lake Erie. The marinas and lake are opening up and its time to get those walleye that hang around the reefs. Some nice fish taken this week close to shore by some guys who got out the other day. Looking to be a long jigging season this year because of cooler water temps that could hang around to mid May.
Call for open April dates. May, June and July dates very limited but a couple days are open each month for summer casting or trolling.

Early morning and afternoon for best action. Take minnows and darker colored jigs. We caught with black, black/purple, white/purple, greens. Some took just stinger and alot took big hook. Sweeping action and snap action with mono line was better than braid but thats what it was. Action near our marina and a couple miles east and NE. 9 to 15 ft. Watch the muddy streaks and find the slightly cleaner water as it would be warmer than the super clear water out a few miles. Maumee river producing some fish over the weekend as well.
Water temp on the boat for us was mid 40s.
That fresh walleye tasted pretty good !
