I did some drifting off of Lorain yesterday and brought home 3 eater sized Walleye, 2 were 18" and 1 was 25'. I was drifting the mud line with worm harnesses (copper blades) under overcast skies. I was starting in the mud and drifting into clear water and as soon as the harness would get in to clear water, I'd have a fish on. The only problem was that the wind was out of the South and it was pushing the mudline out further into the lake. I couldn't repeat a drift because by the time I got back to it, it would already be in the mud. Everything shout down as soon as the sun came out. There are a ton of fish out there, all we need is some good water so that we can catch them.
All we need for good water is a few days without a storm. The last week or so has messed up the lake a bit. High winds and a lot of rain always screws up the lake, especially around the river mouths. The Walleye are there now, but it should be great in another week or so.
Steelhauler,
Were you anywhere near the area I told you about last week? Planning on going up this weekend and was wondering if the fish are still there or out farther. Thanks for any info.
