Walleye Fishing Report for Maumee and Sandusky Rivers
April 21, 2003

Maumee River - 56°F, Normal water level. Walleye past the peak spawning activity. Post spawn is frequently the best time to get walleye to bite. Many anglers are catching limits; mostly males 16 to 22 inches. Anglers are also starting to catch some white bass. Best baits are floating jigs fished 24 inches below enough weight to get to the bottom. Tip the floating jig with a brightly colored plastic tail. Best areas are Bluegrass Island, Buttonwood, White St., and the flats area from I-475 Bridge up to Jerome Road. Outlook Excellent for walleye and white bass should continue to improve.

Best baits are floating jigs fished 24 inches below about enough weight to bounce along the bottom.
