Where are the walleye

[badboards]

Where are the walleye. Got skunked today trolling bandit's cedar point dump area in 35 feet of water. Guy here at the campground said Lorain strait out. He limited today. Think I'm gonna give that a shot tomorrow. Are they that far east already.

They are not biting out past West Sister for us. Slow pick the last couple of days with lots of small ones. Very slow. We are heading east to Marblehead tomorrow. Hopefully better action there.

Walleye are all over the southern shore of LE in Ohio. my friends killed them in front of RR and CLE last Saturday. Couldn't keep the 17-20 inchers off the lines.

Lorain Walleyes;

Went out of Lorain on Monday morning, trolled the west side of the dumping grounds. pulled eleven keepers, most 17 to 20 inches, two were 23 inches. We trolled Bandits 50 feet back then 3 Oz in line weights another 50 feet before attaching to big board lines. Trolled 2.5 to 2.8 mph, blue/chrome, black/gold, and fire tiger Bandits produced well. Fire tiger blade worm harnesses on down riggers also produced well. Flat calm all day, excellent day of walleye fishing!

GLad you had success ! Good news they seem to becoming active again.
That's about 40 to 45 FOW next to the Lorain dumping ground isn't it?

Most guys use the #1 dipsey and there is a dive chart that comes with every dipsey you buy.They work best when you can run 2 on one side of boat.Using identical rods,you can see any difference in the curve of the rod or the angle of your line into the water.That way you can tell if a smaller fish is on the line,even if the dipsey didnt release.The line most guys use is Hi Vis Yellow power pro braid @ 30#.

They are for certain not west of Kelly I. The Nor’easter moved them and they won’t be back until spring

I wouldn’t say they are NOT west of Kelly’s.. There are Walleye all over but not like the were before the BIG blow .. There are pods out there you just have to find them and see what works.. East right now from reports is VERY GOOD

Good job figuring out the program badboards. We trolled harnesses with worms in addition to Bandits and spoons. All on in line planer boards. Did not try dipsies. Not sure how dipsies would make a difference. I do know the water in the Soufh Passage was murky whereas the water out around the islands was much clearer, if that made a difference. What speed were you running? We tried 1.6 up to 2.3
