May 21 bouncers under the boat , bow and stern along with working the swing low and slow deep cup smooth gold blades one ounce weapons and 2 or 3 ounce bouncers. Nice grade today very heavy box 170 pounds of walleye on one drift. We are fishing the gravel pits to north of West Sister Island. Other areas producing walleye are D can to Niagara to North Bass and Rattle snake and Kelly's Island to Middle Island to Ballast Island. Closer to shore areas such as A, B and C cans are holding walleye as well as the waters in front of Crane Creek state park. Just the water has been to muddy to catch them this will change as the warm southerly winds arrive this week end.
