3 of us fished east of Starve Island and caught one 24” walleye. I have the rocks marked on Starve Island on my GPS. I had a first fishing experience of 35 years on Lake Erie. I was in 17 feet of water near Starve Island and turned the boat to troll East towards Kelley’s Island and with in 2/10 mile we were fishing in 17 feet of water and found a deep hole that said 57 feet of water. I primarily fish in Western Basin and I have never been in water that deep. Does anyone know why it’s so deep there in one small area? Glacial groves? Ended day fishing with 7 keepers. Caught most in 34 feet of water East of Perry’s monument halfway between PIB and Kelley’s. Dipsey size 1 at 1 setting at 40 feet and 57-72 feet on 3 setting. Monkey puke was the hot color yesterday for us. We caught 10 spikes and I rock bass which was cool to see it’s red eyes. We fished from 3-7pm. Nothing fast or furious. Took today off to do yard work but will be on the fishing grounds tomorrow at 8am. Good luck all!

I have been fishing that area for a long time and never have taken more than a fish or two there during the day. My theory is those fish lay out there during the day and move shallow at night. Spend the whole night chewing up shallow, then move back out there to rest or whatever Walleyes do.
