Don't feel bad, I talked to 3 guys who came in nd didn't do very well. I'm going out in the morning, think I'll head east a few miles before I set up

Just remember @Kbreks fishing is a game of frustration and patience whether you're out in a boat or fishing from shore. You'll experience the first, but if you have the second, eventually it pays off. I can't count how many times I've gotten a bite sitting on the pier over the years and set the hook only to find I've fed the fish instead of catching it after not getting any bites for what seems like hours.
(Sometimes it truly has been hours
) or as happened on Friday I got a nice one, it spit the hook once I had it over the pier, the line ended up catching my hood, the fish bounced off the pier and back into the lake. I got a really good look at it tho and about half an hour later I caught it again. It's staying with its relatives in my freezer now. It's all part of the game.
As Red said, it's only going to get better, pretty soon (sooner rather than later) you could almost walk across the lake on the backs of the walleye that are going to be out there, and your time WILL come.

I definitely know how it it goes. I believe this is my 5th or 6th season fishing erie for walleye. Used to go out on week nights and have the cooler full in just over an hour. When the fishing is hot. Nothing beats it.Just remember @Kbreks fishing is a game of frustration and patience whether you're out in a boat or fishing from shore.

I was out yesterday for a few hours, east of Bruce, in 40 to 48fow. Didn't mark a lot. Got one 5lb walleye on a dipsey 3 setting 75 ft out with a purple spoon.
I'm coming down later today and will try to find fish. Beautiful day today!

I didn't mark a lot out of Bruce yesterday. Just got one 5lb walleye. Hopefully later today and if not, hopefully soon.
Still is nice to get out when the lake conditions are calm.
