Lake Erie:walleye

  The walleye bite has been very active, when the wind had backed off and given anglers fishable days. The pros at Netcraft report the water southeast of Kelleys Island has produced fish for anglers trolling spoons in 22 to 28 feet of water, at 2 to 2.4 mph. In the area north of Kelleys, bottom bouncers with crawler harnesses have been putting limits of walleye in the coolers. There have also been reports of steady action and good walleye catches southeast of Davis Besse, in 14 to 19 feet of water, with anglers trolling spoons and crawler harnesses with one-ounce weights at 2.5 to 3 mph. Charter guide Eric Hirzel checked in recently with strong reports from the island area and from the waters inside of the firing range. Hirzel and his clients ran spoons and crankbaits and had success with both, but found that Bandits with red or pink bellies were the top producers.
