Walleye bite

[Kevin J Legg]

Went out with a friend last night and went 6 for 8. If you found bait you found fish. Caught them in 4 different locations all around 30-40 fow.

Awesome job.  Some beautiful fish right there

[carpcatcher]

Sweet, hopefully I will be able to find bait in a couple weeks

[Kevin J Legg]

Got it done solo last night.

Got Mr Walleye out on the river for his limit.

Awesome fish.

Last outing before knee surgery.

[Stillwater]

They look very full... are they eating gobies?

[carpcatcher]

Kevin, you are a walleye whisperer for sure. Keep up the great work!!!

[Jason F]

Looks like the bite has been good up there this spring. Planning to come up next weekend and hoping to get out. Good luck with the surgery Kevin. Hope all goes well.

[Kevin J Legg]

Surgery went well but not easy to get comfortable to be try to sleep.

Wow, I’d love to know how you do that. Heading up to grindstone island Friday night and Saturday to try to figure out a walleye bite.  Going to try to troll sticks along Picton channel at night and maybe harnesses the next morning to see if we can get anything going.  Are you jigging in deep water or trolling? My friends boat isn’t set up for trolling and no side imaging so really going to have to guess where they are since we probably won’t see them on the graph.

[Kevin J Legg]

I don’t have side imaging. Down imaging shows the bait well. Fish the flat edges along Channel markers  in 30-45 fow. If you see bait work that area.

I mostly troll against the current using heavy bottom bouncers and stick baits.

I’m currently recovering from knee replacement so they get a break from

me for a few weeks.

Thanks, very helpful info I really appreciate it.  I hope your knee recovery goes quickly and that this is your last surgery for a long time since your last one didn’t seem too long ago.

Not sure if this helps you but we were camping at cedar point last weekend and right in front of the marina in 45-55 FOW there was a ton of bait and some big perch on the bottom.  Caught a few nice sized ones drifting worms.  There were some bigger fish out there too but no takers.  I trolled a bit but didnt really fish very hard and was primarily middle of the day.

Kevin, I have only you to thank for my first st Larry walleye.  We did what you said and trolled along a ledge in a strong current area in 35’ and I got a nice 26.5” 7.7 lb. I did lose 3 sticks and a bottom bouncer before the hit but it’s all part of the learning process.  The contours are similar to finger lakes trolling where they can change drastically before you can effectively react so we definitely have to run the course a few times to get a successful run charted on the graph to follow for easier navigation in the future.  Without your info we wouldn’t have had the confidence to continue what we were doing until it finally all came together after a couple of hours.

Happy Fathers day to all the dads.  Ready to spend the day with my family after an awesome off the grid fishing getaway weekend.  We ended up catching some great quality fish including a 21.5” smallmouth on a Gambler Rig that weighed 6.7lbs and two others that were 19” and almost just as thick.  A nice 30”  northern grabbed my Keitech to top off a St Lawrence trifecta.

Thanks for sharing 👍.  Nice job.
