    Default North Passage Walleye

    For the last two years, it seemed like the post spawn walleye migrated east using either the North or South Passage. It was my experience and others that the larger fish used the North Passage while the South Passage had mostly smaller fish. I have fished the North Passage twice during May this year and found no fish anywhere east of Gull Island Shoal. The most productive area in the North passage for me had been north of Kellys Island Shoal but the screen was blank and no boats to be seen anywhere. There has been no mention of any fishing success in the North Passage in any prior posts this year. Does anyone have any ideas as to why there are no fish in the North Passage this year?

    those strong NE winds we had for a couple weeks might have something to do with it.

    It's a very dynamic Lake, things change year-to-year. You may be too late or too early. You may have missed the big schools (if there were any) by a short quarter or half mile. Time of day. All sorts of factors and possibilities.

    Has anyone noticed there haven't been any posts about fishing success in the Green Island to Niagara reef area? The big open area between the Islands and the Major reef complex? That area has always gotten hot at late May or early June. Quick limits of walleye have been caught consistently for over two weeks in the South Passage and there's no sign of slowing down.

    It's going to be a different year with the huge population of small walleye driving the walleye habits and locations.
