Thinking I'll just try my hand at trolling for Walleye on LC

[FlyLie]

Boone in "my limited experience" the LC Walleye generally hug the bottom, walleye "do suspend" quite often (especially on Laurel River lake) but not so much IMO on LC for whatever reason(s).

This time of year you should do good on the flats with Bottom Bouncers and crawler harnesses (depending on how much the kill has effected things) you can use your "riggers" to get the ball "X" number of feet from bottom and troll cranks so far behind them to get near bottom (but keep a sharp eye out for depth changes unless you with to lose a ball or two :O)

I've always done great for 'eyes on LC, not so much on Laurel eyes but I'm still hammering away to figure those LRL walleye out LOL

IF you have planer boards you can run a nice spread to see where they are biting the best, if not you can still likely find them , will just take longer IMO

Thanks, Aceoky, just the kind of feedback I was looking for.

My pleasure!

I just hope things haven't changed too much with the kill, and you hammer them. Not sure how you're "set up" for trolling but IF you have the space, rod holders etc. , with water temps on the fall a bit , might be a good idea to long line one crank for suspended "just in case" I doubt it will pay off big, but it might add an eye or even some that you'd otherwise not get? Most of the year "I" would not try that but things can happen in the fall, as they're putting on the feed bag heavy preparing for winter and less to eat then.....

Thanks again. Me boat is set up with down riggers, planner boards, and holders for down rods, and if need be, a couple of balloons off the keel.

Now, just need to put it all in the right place......

I wish I had some "great spots" but I always fished the other end of LC (London Dock area mostly) however I'll assume you have good electronics? I would fish where you spot fish (usually tight to bottom so a color unit really helps but isn't a requirement- better you can read and adjust your unit- color or not to spot them on bottom the better I would say you'll do)

IIRC I've been told if fishing walleye on your end of the lake to try the flats across from State Dock? I believe that is the correct ramp area at least was some time ago as best I can recall (which may or may not be correct).

I'm honestly not "holding back" on you, just not familiar at all with that end of LC .
