maumee bay walleye run

[bigskiohio]

I want to take my starcraft ss18 out on maumee bay for the walleye spring run
as i dont have a kicker and it is a boat i dont want to go to far out . So my question is how far out do you go, i will be launching from cullen park. plan on having a vhf radio and ll the usual saftey equipment.

You don't have to go out that far, u should be good, I don't no ur boat, but if it has high sides, a deeper version u'll be fine, my old boat is 18.3. I go out all year, sometimes 9-15 miles. You'll see boats out there ,like by Turtle ISL. Good luk, and remember water is cold, more dangerous,

Re: maumee bay walleye run

can't miss Turtle, its west sw of lite house, very shallow in bay tho, be careful, and check weather reports, I should of mentioned that in last post. I don't go out from cullens, so i dont no exact distance to Lt. house. But u usually dont have to go out that far, U'll see boats out there, If u have graph, look 4 humps and holes. U'll drift , catch fish, when it slows ,go back over to make another drift. I use drift sock, U can also get a map at any bait shop in area, will show locations, and depth ranges, maybe not 100% accurate, but will help to give u an idea of area. Be safe , good fish n
