    cloud9 we fished the erie dearies 1-4 foot off the bottom at 1-1.3mph with crawlers, if the crawlers are really large use about 3/4 of it. Thread the worm up the hook and leave about a inch and a half beyond the hook cast out about 70 feet then release another 8 feet of line let it find the bottom and just pull it every so often to feel the blades turn.
    hope this helps also get out at 5:30 am all the big ones were caught early

    eyecrazy, Thanks! That was a big help. I've read that walleye's are nocturnal fish, so I figured night fishing would have some success as well, but its much more difficult.

    Reading this makes me want to go out and try this technique tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, work gets in the way of that idea.

    How do you determine your location in the morning? Generally, I use the other boats as guides to determine where the best fishing is on the lake at the time, however, at that point, I've already most likely missed all of the excitement. Now that the weather is getting warm,scratch that....HOT, does that change your initial casting location?

    Again, thanks for the post. You're helping out a newcomer.

    If your unsure of were to fish read the fishing report at a bait shop it is generally true and then look for a big cluster of boats and get in the mix with them, however on 6-7 I fished about 2 miles away from the clusters and limited out in 1 hour. If you want I will post a couple GPS spots were I started in the morning and times. but these spots are pending a south-south western wind and the fish will soon be heading East.

    Please.

    What are the reasons the walleye tend to move east through June/warmer weather? I do not believe the water becomes that much deeper, however, I could be mistaken. Just wondering the rationale to better understand their characteristics.

    Hope this isnt gettng to repetitive...thanks again.

    Your better off reading books about walleye migration to find out why they move East rather than asking me However as i promised
