10/9 Walleye (attempt)
Went out this morning with a friend to see if we could get some walleye. Started at toussaint reef. We marked some fish on the east side in about 12 feet of water. Made a run upwind and set up for a drift back through the area casting worm harnesses but didn’t get anything. Ran slowly looking for fish all the way to crib and saw nothing interesting. Continued to flat rock where we marked a few but couldn’t catch. Ran to Niagara and looked but nothing so continued east to deeper water and saw nothing. Decided to run back to round reef where we marked some. Set up and drifted about a quarter mile. Picked up three nice perch and lost a walleye. Made two more drifts through the area to no avail. That was enough for the morning.
The vast majority of fish we marked were hugging the bottom. Had a good breeze that was moving us about .8 mph which felt perfect but not to the fish all morning.
It was still a very nice day on the lak

Don't know if the walleye are on those reefs yet but when we fished on the rocks in the fall we did not mark those fish we caught very often. We would make a drift over the reef casting for fish to determine to make another drift or look elsewhere.

Re: 10/9 Walleye (attempt)
my garmin usually shows any fish, even the ones hugging the bottom. In this case, we did mark fish in places but couldn’t catch. We marked a bunch on the east side of toussaint reef but didn’t catch anything. They were pretty bunched up in that area. We ran all the way east to west across and only marked fish on the eastern third. They were on top of the reef in 12 feet of water but close to where the reef started falling off.
water clarity wasn’t great but you could see at least a foot to two feet down.
