willard bay

[WalleyePaul]

If the wind is blowing toward the shore, that's the best time since walleyes feed in that area. Food drift right into their mouths. If you are having trouble in the winds and drifting is too fast, then either use a drift sock, or throw the anchor, so your boat stays in that area, and you just simple cast toward the shore. You can use side-planers. This is a must at willard since walleyes are spooked by boat going over their heads.

Another thing, you have to try back trolling... the winds will slow the boat down even more when going backtrolling, so the presentation is perfect. The winds are your best friend so think this way. Walleyes love windy conditions that brings the food in the current.
