    Bout all I know is that the walleye seem to not feed for about the first hour of darkness while their eyes adjust . I'm interested in learning more also

    Done it many years ago when I had friends with a place on Middle Bass , but not for a long time. We'd wait until 10:00 or 11:00 and cast cranks on shallow humps or on wind blown shores. If the fish were in you'd know in 30 minutes. If they were it was great and bigger fish. Never trolled at night.

    What I'm wondering is should I concentrate on the first 10 ft or should I go deeper I'm figuring the fish will be towards the top of the water column feeding

    when we done it we were fishing 10 and shallower, up to 3-4, but trolling open water you'd want to be deeper is my guess. Your electronics should tell you. Surely someone on here is still doing it

    I’ve trolled last summer a few nights east of Huron in 12 FOW. Using deep bandits 15’ behind the board and normally had good luck
    You can get the wrist bracelet glow sticks from amazon and drill a hole in top of boards to insert the glow sticks in and work great and cheap for lights on your boards I normally started moving shallow when the sun hits the horizon
