I think that I've got the gear (downriggers, in line boards, dipsies, etc.) but I don't know where to go, when to go, or what lures to use to pick up a mixed bag of walleye and steelhead. I've heard that the steelhead bite starts to pick up around July/Aug and occurs more in the central basin than over in the west. I live over near Cleveland. I've got a 24' Boston Whaler Outrage that is trailerable, so I can go to the fish.

What advise can you give me?

Thanks.......
