St. Lawrence walleyes

[bacatit]

Spent the week of Aug. 1 to Aug. 7 at a friends camp near Clayton. Found the eyes in 40 to 60 feet of water near deeper water with current. Bucktails and spoons bounced on the bottom early in the AM or late in the PM. Tried to tip the jigs but just attracted lots of gobys. Fished mostly 2 oz. to keep vertical. Caught many eyes in the 23 to 26 inch range, very fat fish. We had a great time.

If you dont mind me asking, where did you catch em? I have been having trouble finding walleyes and catching them.

We fished the narrows from upstream of the bridge to A Bay. Fish wanted 40 to 60 foot ledges near deep water and current. Early and late.

Sounds like you had a good week. Lots of eyes available once you master a technique. I live up here and get out a few mornings a week. I like early morning best as I'm off the water by the time boat traffic picks up. You're right about the fish, they are fat and that size is great for the table. I got three early this morning trolling in shallower water 20-30'.

I go to jigging after the sun gets bright.

Thanks for the report

If you like smallies they are in that run as well upstream from the bridge and down in 30-40 fow. We were trolling there the last weekend of June using deep cranks white, pink, chartrues. Wish I moved a little deeper for the eyes

Well maybe this fall. If bow fever doesn't get me first
