Rumor has it that the water temps in the Western Basin is running the low 80's and the walleyes have headed toward cooler Canadien waters. I'm coming in for the second half of my bi-annual trip and I'm wondering how many miles would I need to venture out (from Wild Wings boat launch) to find at least a few walleyes? Five miles? Seven miles? I'm running a 22 foot Deep V Crestliner boat so I think that I'm okay up five footers or so.

If you have a moment, would appreciate a response. I'm a caster by nature and would prefer to fish with countdowns or weapons. It's a sore arm I know but nothing replaces a walleye bite being telegraphed through a fishing rod!

Thanks,
