Fall Brawl Walleye Derby

The walleye fishing has been very productive, with the Fall Brawl Walleye Derby now in action.
Walleye in the double-digit class have been caught from Huron to Cleveland, and beyond.
Trolling has been the key ingredient, and a fast pace has worked best.
Walleye anglers off Cranberry Creek in the Huron area reported quick limits of nice walleye
while trolling spoons and Husky Jerk diving plugs. A trolling speed of 2.5 miles per hour has
been best and purple and chartreuse plugs and white crank baits have been working.
In the Lake Erie Island area, walleye are being caught while trolling three to four miles east of
Kelleys Island.
The drift-and- cast walleye anglers are probing rocky waters 10 to 15 feet deep, focusing on the
southeast corner of Kelleys Island, the west side of the Bass Islands and Gull Shoal with little
spinner rigs or mayfly rigs tipped with half of a nightcrawler. Traditional weight-forward spinners
tipped with nightcrawlers are also scoring in those areas.
