Walleye have been caught by anglers trolling and jigging over the past week (as of 4-16-13). Trollers have caught fish around the outer cans of the Camp Perry firing range with “D” can being best. Rapala deep husky jerks have been the most consistent crankbait. Fish have been caught by jigging nearshore W of the reefs and also on some of the reefs within the Camp Perry firing range. Purple or green hair jigs have been the lure of choice for jiggers. Please use caution when boating in cold water.
