Fished Saturday just Norhteast of Niagra. 3 men threw everything but the kitchen sink at the eyes from 8:00 am till 2:00 and didn't catch any eyes. My buddy lost one at the boat. Moved closer to Catawba tried a couple more hours and called it a day. Tossed weapons, harnesses, weight forwards and even trolled for a while with jets and stingers. Second trip this year and skunked both times. Can't figure it out, another buddy said they caught 20 between 6 guys casting and drifting fishing closer to Besse in 20 FOW but worked 10 hours to get them. Is the population getting that low or am I just off to a slow start? Been fishing Western basin since 1988 and am concerned about the walleye future.
