This is great!!! Our own forum.
Jeff is right, but forgot to tell you that he was pulling those cranks at night. There is also a great day bite! Fish the windward side of the humps in 14 to 30ft with a Scenic Tackle “Pro Series” jig or “Angel Eye” jig in 3/8 oz and my favorite is Perch colored. Tip it with either a shiner or fat head minnow.
Verticle jig them holding your boat over the fish with your trolling motor. When jigging, make sure that you are in constant contact with the bottom. I like to jig up and set it back down so that you see the slack in your line. To do this you have to constantly let line out and reel it in. 90% of the time you won’t feel the bite. The combination of the walleyes picking it up on the drop and the amount of line out at that depth deadens the feel of the bite. If a fish has picked up, you’ll feel what I call a “wet rag” feel. Set the hook!!!!
Good luck and have fun. Some of the best fishing of the year is right around the corner.
