Lucky today to get a chance to get on the lake. Met a friend at the East Ave boat launch and left the marina early. Headed out to deep water in 52 feet looking for perch. Boated 6 thick perch, but bite was very slow. Strong west winds picked up and we were out of the perch pack. Next targeted walleye in shallow water. You can find feeding walleye during summer in shallow depths if you can find the structure. Went to my favorite hump in 24ft of water. First drift and 2 minutes in the water landed a nice Lake Erie walleye. Key is finding the structure and having the right drift. Wind speed is important and clarity of the water is also critical. Had a perfect wind to start, but got blown off the lake after just a few short drifts. Used a watermelon willow leaf with crawler. When the lake gets too rough out in deep water, give the shallow water walleye a try.
Nice fish Rob, looks like he has been eating pretty well.
