Reel deal,dont feel bad about only catching 2-4 walleye per trip recently.It is not a slump,when the water warms in August and September are the slowest months to catch eyes.The fish go deep or migrate east and get lethargic.Most people do not troll a crankbait off another diving apparatus,like a dipsey unless it is shallow diving and has a small lip.The harnesses will still catch fish, the crankbaits usually will catch more once water gets below 50 degrees.We switched over to bandits near end of October last year.The fall walleye bite could be defined as how the walleye fishing improves as the water cools,Typically,as the water cools the fish become more active,move into shallower water and migrate west.Guys will cast for them on the rocky reefs in October and November.Difference than the early jig bite,is that the fishing gets better on reefs east of bass islands in the fall.In the spring,the bite gets better around reef complex and especially near Besse or A can.The fish are also moving west in fall and eventually they stage off Huron for the winter.We got nice limit off Huron, mid November last year.Wild card this fall will be all the 2015 fish reaching legal length.Most of the guys switch over to perch during the slow August and September months anyway.
