Saturday dead calm and near 80 degrees. Two days later, Monday, 30 knot winds and 36 degrees. I've see a lot of weather changes at the Lake, but this one will stick in my memory. Lake Erie truly can be quite the weather contrast.

Another big blow with the added water temperature drop. What will the walleye do now?

West Basin, that’s the million dollar question! I’m supposed to be coming out there today -Sunday from Minnesota! Really hoping someone can give some insight into what water color and conditions are or possibly will be. I gotta long drive to sit on shore or fish in mud lol. Appreciate all you guys!
