The walleye fishing hasn’t been any better than the salmon, at least not for a novice like myself. I went out of the Ford yesterday and fished for about 4 hours. All I caught was one 26 inch walleye right after it got dark.

I don’t understand why the fishing is so bad for me right now. The water temp is 71 degrees and the south winds and rain lately have the water near shore pretty dirty. It should be perfect. The only thing I notice is that I am marking huge schools of bait, and snagging a lot of alewives on my thundersticks after dark. Maybe the walleyes are too fat and happy to eat? I don’t know.
