I read your post on walleyes at night in DC. I live in Midway and fish DC fairly regularly until the algae bloom gets on. Would love to get some walleye there. My fishing companions (we are older in late 70's) always want to fish for the trout, but I prefer the perch and eyes. Always fish in the daytime and occasionally catch an eye or two, but thinking about giving it a try at night. We knew a local physician, Dr Burton, who used to fish this reservoir only at night and did very well.
Anyway, I appreciate your insight to catching walleyes at DC. I am going to try it. Several questions:
1. Do you troll plugs?
2. Do you use bottom bouncers with nightcrawlers?
3. Do you recommend early evening or later?
4. Assuming you fish the rocky shoreline across from the Island boat ramp and north of the island. Any point in fishing the deeper water, ie 70'?
Many thanks in advance. Fred Thomas
