I was talking to our taper today and he was catching them in 27 feet, apparently. I've never fished the lake or the river myself.

I guess it depends at want part of the lake your going to, I ve only fished the west side shaws point, hillards bay, Joussard area. Right now the grouard bridge channel has been the best on the lake, at least it was when I was there 2 weeks ago. Me and my wife/kids caught 20 in 2 hrs including a walleye and a pike on one shot using a walleye rig. I guess quite often people there have been getting 2 walleye on one rig.

All you need is walleye rigs, a med weight, minnows. Throw your line softly out into the channel, set the rod down and set it tight, make sure you grab chairs, than just sit back and watch your rod.

If you catch a whopper just ask the other fisherman if you can sneak under there lines and head to side of bridge shore to bring those in.

If on boat you can try Joussard there are two places that are good, little grassy and big grassy. I think little grassy is just to the right of the boat launch, look for weeds with a drop off not far. Might want to ask a local though its been a few years since I ve been there.

Hillards you can go to the cutbank which agian is a 30 some ft drop off the runs a long line, if leaving the boat launch its left towards or just passed that point you see . Hard to explain because its been awhile and it is a large lake.Maybe someone else on here can correct me that knows the spots better.

Anyways your going to a hot lake, look for drop offs and fall time the fish are deeper 30 some ft like the person above mentioned, good luck and have fun.
