Warm, Low Pressure Front Walleye…….depth?

    I’m getting mixed info doing research on this subject doing a google search on it……imagine that LOL!

    Anywho…..we’ve had WEEKS of a high pressure system, colder than my ex-wife’s hugs, (LOTS of ice for here) and the weekend forecast is calling for 24 hours of a falling barometric pressure, 24 hours of low and 24 hours of it rising again

    Pressure has ran 30.30-30.50 previously and forecast to be below 30.00 by noon Sunday and dropping to 29.80 before the slow climb back up, Monday. Temperature is coming up 40 -50 degrees or more. 15-20 mph wind…….with snow and maybe rain.

    No flasher or camera (retired,poor etc) but can find the area I’m fishing with a few holes …..(most times, LOL).

    VERY clear water system,BTW.
    There is a 18-20 ft flat with a 100 yard wide 26 foot deep “hole” and then where the flat narrows and drops to 30 -> 40 -> 50 feet with small steps going down, there is a 10 foot deep bar along side, maybe 80 yards wide and twice that long. Some weeds on it but not lots this time of year. The 20 foot flat goes….WAY across the lake (like 3/4 mile or more) but I have easy access to this structure system but it’s still 400 yards out. A walk for us old geezers.

    Normally I’d fish up and down the break in the afternoon and evening hours but wondering if the low front might have them on the feed, but down deeper and more often than just the evening (and morning) hours……like I think.
    Buddy thinks they will come up on the 20 foot flat……and stay for the 3 days, feeding.

    Holes are hand drilled. 100 hole days aren’t doable. If not finding them after several hours on the lower lip of the break I’d like to have an idea on which way to start looking……if the group would be so kind. Love to hear what James and the guys would suggest but I figured they BE FISHIN’!!!

    ANY advice based on previous experiences on your own experiences fishing warm weather,low pressure weather systems walleye is very appreciated. A little “new”on walleye. Regardless of my age I’ve spent the bulk of it panfishing in 10 foot weedy flats but I’ve changed up my game recently.
    Planning on making full days of it at least two days, maybe three starting Sunday.
    A little curious if the group agrees on depth…..or not.

    God Bless

    I would think a drop in pressure would be a good thing for the walleyes to feed.

    Yep, I always make a point to be on the lake when the pressure drops.

    The pressure has been high and temps super low for a pretty extended period of time, and the bite has been extremely light. On Saturday, for my area, the pressure is dropping and temps are going up into the 20s. I will be on the lake all day, and I fully expect to have spoons hammered by hungry walleyes.

    As far as finding them, a flasher really comes in handy there. But, without one, id work up that break by hole hopping and tip-up sets until I locate some fish.

    Where do you guys go for an accurate pressure forecast? The closest I can get is watching the pressure on the good old iphone weather app for days in advance and getting to the lake real quick whenever the pressure starts dropping.
