Where are the walleye

[badboards]

I had the ipilot set to1.5 but the southern wind was doing most the pushing. If I had worms on the boat Wednesday I would have trolled them out east of Kelly's in cleaner water. There was good mark's in both places.

I had a crazy two days fishing all over the place. Started out trolling with Bandit's and Spoons Wednesday north of Cedar point in 40 feet of water all the way to Kelly's island shoal and never got a bite. Changed up the plan for Thursday trolled dipsy divers with worm harness thru South Passage. Started at Marble head to West of Kelly's and got 8 keepers. Biggest was 22 inches. 2 foot chop seemed more like three. Pretty beat up. Good luck hope this helps.

Thanks for the post. Good job on changing up and finding something that worked.

Well there is a stretch out there that’s 50 to 53 feet, that area has been good to me for several years, pretty much all year long!

Thanks for post badboards.Good job finding some keepers when you fished.Seams these fish like the harnesses now.I walked past several charters last weekend and half of them had double willow harnesses on their rods.

We had harnesses on our dipsey and on our inline boards with 3oz weight.Those two inline boards with harnesses did not catch one keeper walleye last week.But the dipsey on 3 setting with the harnesses got like 7 keepers.I believe the turbulence from the dipsey attracts the fish better than a sinker.
I also believe that its much faster to check the dipsey lines for shorts or trash than the boards.I can bring in and reset a dipsey before I can even get a board to the boat.

I'm new to dipsy divers and only have two. I had the two dipsies set on #3 setting with harnesses. I'm learning how to detect fish on. The shorts are on and couldn't tell and at times the bigger fish pulled but thought it was the dipsies. The other two poles had bandit's on with a one once sinker but got nothing. I will troll with harnesses on them next time with a drop sinker.

go to lite bite slide divers and take the guesswork out of the short fish. don't use the slide part of the diver. tie an o ring to one end of a 6'n leader then lace the line through the back. set the rod tension tight enough your not getting false releases. then set lure tension loose enough that it'll trip on white perch but doesn't give false releases.

I thought about making the trip to Lorain. It's only an extra 20 minute trip for me. I couldn't find a state park to camp at. Any suggestions.

I too trip to Lorain to put my boat in, so I’m not really aware of any camping in the immediate area. I know there is Findley State Park located at 25381 State Route 58, Wellington, Ohio 44090, phone: 440-647-4490. It is located in Lorain County south of Lorain, Ohio, probably a half hour south!
