??? Where to get started. Not looking for spots, but a little help with the thought process of do you have to look to the rivers mouths, or some of the areas west of the islands? This is an all different body of water for me, so hoping to learn a little, and make it out for a couple days mid-April.

I'll soak up any conversation you guys are willing to share. I already know to look carefully at the weather, as I'll be in a small boat (17') compared to most.

You can leave out of any of the marinas on Turtle Creek or from Wildwings both are west of Davis Bessie. The bite can be from a few hundred feet offshore once you enter into the lake to a mile or more. Both are doable in a good seaworthy 17 foot boat. The local bait stores will be able to get you set up with the proper wt and color hair jigs typically used for the jig bite! Minnows also if needed. No secret spots as anywhere can be as good or as bad as any other spot. This is the walleyes version of spring break except all the walleye girls already have their bikini's off!
