Walleye
Walleye fishing in the Indiana waters of Lake Michigan, particularly near Michigan City, offers a more challenging but rewarding experience compared to inland lakes. These walleye are often roaming, following schools of alewives and other baitfish. Trolling crankbaits along structure like drop-offs and humps is a popular and effective technique. Focus on areas where the water clarity is good, as walleye prefer slightly stained water. Spring and fall are traditionally the best times to target them, as they move shallower to feed. Consider using planer boards to spread your lines and cover more water. The walleye population here is sustained by natural reproduction and stocking efforts, resulting in a healthy population with the potential for good-sized fish. The port of Michigan City offers a convenient boat launch to access these fishing grounds.
