Walleye Anglers are fishing for walleye on the reef complex north of Camp Perry, the Bass Islands area, around Marblehead, the Maumee Bay area, and N of Kelleys Island. Surface temperatures range from the lower 40's to near 50 degrees. Over the past weekend (4/17) walleye were caught by jigging the reefs, Maumee Bay and the Turtle Creek area, and larger females were caught trolling near the reefs and N of Kelleys Island. Trollers did well in the area around the "D" can of Camp Perry Firing Range. Popular spring techniques include jigging shallow reef areas with shiner-tipped jigs or trolling crankbaits in open water surrounding the reefs. When fishing the reef complex be aware that ODNR sampling will be taking place throughout the spring. Nets are clearly marked with yellow flags and floats. Please stay clear of areas with nets.
