Don't discount the waters West of the Islands just yet. Last week I fished well west of the Islands 4 times in 23-28 FOW pulling cranks and we caught many walleyes over 4 lbs. Several 26-27" fish. One of my buddies in the same area caught a 10.5 lb fish, and another buddy had his daughters with him and they both caught their PBs pulling cranks. Bandits 35-55 back early, then 45-75 back later in the day, unassisted.
