Trolling works great if there is no drift. I work on Sara-J charters out of Lorain. We are currently fishing along the canadian border. It has been on fire trolling and catching limits everyday. I would think that the water temp around the islands might be a little high for walleye this time of year. There is a huge school of fish outside of Lorain. Unfortunately you have to run 18 mile to get them. It would probably be about a 30 mile run for you. But I know the casters are doing great out there too. If you are loking to learn how to troll give me a call I will try to help you out. Captain Kray 216 346 5555
