Slave Lake Help
I was just wondering if anyone could give me a bit of help finding walleye in the Joussard area of Slave Lake. We've got a seasonal site at a campground out there, so I've probably spent 30+ hours fishing the area this summer. The entire area seems to be just big flat bowl, I've got to run a hell of a way off shore just to hit 20 feet. I can't seem to find any sort of structure. We were out this last week and everyone seemed to be scattered all over the place. Is this the norm? Is everyone just trolling bait rigs around until they find the depth the walleye are holding? That seems to be the only way I've been able to pick up even a few fish. Actually, the best fishing I had this year was from the dock at the Joussard boat launch in late May when the fish were just coming off the spawn!
Also, if anyone could give me a few hints on finding perch, I would appreciate it. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to open water perch fishing and I'd like to get my 7 year old on to some. Thanks for any help you could give me.
