Western Basin - Walleyes

[not2often]

We've planned a late October trip to the region and was wondering if the walleyes historically move back to the Western Basin in October or November. Is it a jig or live bait bite this time or crankbaits? Looking for some general info if someone has a moment to reply.

It's much appreciated.

Wondering the same thing, left the boat at Fenwicks and hate to make the 200 mile one way drive just to pick it up

Hello Guys,

Yes, we do pretty well in the fall around this time of year when the water cools down, currently 64 degrees which is supposed to be ideal. They usually move back in and we catch them in around 20 fow in the Crane Creek area. There have been spotty reports of walleye around W. Sister island which is a good sign of them moving back in.

If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, we rent our condo. Just let me know and I will make you a great deal.

T-10! The stars aligned which means that we have confirmed our appointment with Mr. Wally next weekend. Hoping that the wind and waves are favorable and that we can have a safe trip. Captain Walleye, really like your rates and will give consideration for next year's trip. We've added a third to our annual rounds of Michigan, Wisconsion and Illinois so Ohio is definitely creeping up!

If anyone can confirm fish migration and general location, it would be nice to know that you don't have to travel 12 miles out to find fish. Launching out of Wild Wings.

God Bless and safe fishing,

Muddy pretty much past west sister. No Walleye but didn't try real hard since perch fishing was excellent. Limit in 2 hours nice fish.
