Matthew’s Fishing Report: Where have the Walleye gone?
Been trying to beat the rain before this weekend and the party, so not much from myself to report on fishing. Luckily the guys at Matthew’s Bait and Tackle keep sending those emails and posts.
The big question seems to be, “Where have all the walleye gone?” Luckily the perch have been producing in some spots, and you have to be aggressive in your approach. If the fish “ain’t there”, don’t be afraid to pull anchor and go find them. A slow drift can help locate perch when they are on the move.
Here is the report from Jason at the B&T:
Perch have been taken just past e-bouy in 22ft of water. Some are doing well out there but some are struggling. Keep in mind, the key to good perch fishing is constant movement. If you sit in a spot for 20 minutes and are not catching fish, its time to move. The perch are there, you just need to find them.
Walleye seem to be pretty much gone. We have been getting a few reports out near West Sister Island, but they’re not tearing it up by no means.
Thank you and hope to see you this weekend.
