Early October Clayton Walleye Trip


Recommended Posts

20230722_203511.thumb.jpg.e6adf57262e7671ef6e585a48f69f3a0.jpgGoing to be on The River first week of October and looking for walleye fishing tips. Where to look for them and how to fish them. I have a 21' boat equipped with down riggers. Would trolling worm harness rigs in the fall be effective? Figure on fishing Clayton to St Vincent are and around Carelton Island.

Fished the River 10:30-5:00 between Clayton and Cape Vincent, heavily around Linda Island on the channel side. Worked ledges and deeper water 50-70 fow trolling worm harness rigs, stick baits and spoons. Marked plenty of fish and bait fish. Couldn't produce any bites.

we fished over on the wolfe island side and have picked up some walleyes , try to work the sharp drop off area. between 30 and 60 ft of water, you can go online and get a canadian license, they have day license or other options. we have had some luck running gold deep husky jerk lures. a couple of weekends ago we caught a very nice 5.5 walleye directly across from linda island. there is a nice drop off so try to stay right in that drop off area. also on the west north side of carlton island, you can drop shot and let the current bring you up to 30 ft of water then move back out and work that ridge during the evening hours. also try to fish in front of millens bay, had some good luck there also. good luck
