I’ve spent some time on Pelican. That time of year I typically stay off the lake in the middle of the day. I’d go out in the eveinings with a plan to fish until well after dark. Techniques that have worked well are to drive around some of the humps in the middle of the lake or the major points that extend into the lake looking for fish with your electronics. If you see fish stop and fish them. The quickest way I know is to use a jig with some meat on it. Could be a leech this time of year but don’t rule out minnows either. You can aslo drop a rig to them or a jig and slip bobber. Typically you’ll be fishing 18′ – 25′ before the sun goes down.
After sunset get out the trolling gear and run the edges of the same structure you’ve been fishing, only shallower. My favorit baits are shad raps in the #5 and #7 size.
Good luck and let me know how you do. If the walleyes are slow, don’t overlok the bass fishing on this lake. It can be awesome.
