You also need to try the twilight hours. Before sunrise and after sunset. Work your jigs extremely slow too. They are difficult to locate right now. I have caught them deep this time of year during daylight hours. Fishing depths of 30 ft to 50 ft. You can also catch perch, crappie, and smallmouth bass mixed in with the eyes. The fish seem to group up when you find them deep. When you catch them that deep you really need to plan on keeping them. When it's dark, I have caught some working crankbaits slowly on rocky shorelines. Also when the water temps start dropping on Deer Creek, they will come in shallow. I scored a few from the bank in December from the shore. Those walleye sure are a tough cookie to figure out. I don't know why I'm so addicted to them, other than they are so difficult and temperamental to understand. Tons easier to catch trout. I am hoping for the water to freeze at Deer Creek again so I can score some eyes through the ice. The past two times Deer Creek has frozen, I caught some walleye through the ice there. Good luck in your quest.
