WalleyeTechniqueTrolling Deep (20'+)SeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureOpen Water/BasinWorking areas north west of the islands and the cans for basin fish. Some post spawn and pre-spawn fish showing up, running baits anywhere from 7'-18' feet down in the water column. Look for the slightly cloudy water. Speeds in the 1.2-1.4 range with the cold water temps. Best colors were anything with purple.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSpring (Pre-Spawn)StructureRock PileEnded up finally being able to catch my first Lake Erie smallmouth of 2024 doing exactly how I caught my last smallmouth of 2023! Dragging a football jig when the water temperatures are low is a sneaky tactic! I am a big fan of creating that contrast with the PBJ skirt matched up with a coppertreuse trailer! I highly recommend it!!

Fishing tubes early on is a great way to find the bass and really tee off on'em. Finding rock piles with isolated boulders have been the ticket. Using electronics, like Humminbird Side Imaging, to mark rock piles and returning with Humminbird 360 has been the best way to attack it. Have fun and happy fishing
