So where are the walleye?
Everyone keeps asking about the walleye..and where are they? Well, in my opinion we are still a
bit early, and mother nature has not gotten the lake temp up high enough yet. All reports I heard
from the last couple of days was spotty at best. I know some really good fisherman that only had a
couple each day over the weekend.
I took a shot yesterday (Sunday) morning with one of my regular crew mates. Headed just west of
Van Buren Point to work thru the "breaks" out there. Got a few white perch and 1 yellow perch, but
no walleye. Water temps were very cold. 35 feet down in 60 fow was 50 degrees. Not a lot of
marks on the graph. I still think we need a good warm week and it will start to pick up!
Perch fishing remains very good at the Dunkirk perch bouy. Brace yourself when you buy minnows
though...$9 for 3 dozen at the local marina...but, hey, they are certified! I got my son out Friday afternoon
for a while, and he insisted that I cooked them for him when we got home!
