one from last night. typical fat and strong and mean

If you want to catch some, message me and I will tell you exactly where to put your boat

I don't know where they come from as this is the only time and way I catch them in I-bay. One thing I noticed, there is an enormous amount if spawning activity (I think that's what is) in the evening from spring right into July. It starts with shad. Then something else for a month or so. You can see the splashing that goes on all night along the shore line during this time. Once it stops, I start catching walleye. Whether they are always there but too full to eat my lures, I do not know. I do know that I never catch any until the activity stops, which is usually early to mid July. Also, I have caught walleye in the lake while trolling for spring brown trout. Perhaps they are lake o walleye that come into the bay during the summer

I started catching them last Monday night 7/29 Irondequoit Bay. A few weeks later than usual, in my experience. They are in very close to shore in 5 feet or less. They start biting around 9pm. I got 5 Monday night in about 30 minutes and they are usually quite large. Medium size orange x-raps work best in my opinion. They swim not too deep not too shallow. I tried again Friday night and got 1 first cast at 9pm and had to quit. In my experience for the last 4 years, they are in shallow for about a month consistently and then disappear until the next July. Not sure why
