Thank you for the well detailed post Bill. My thought process was heading down that road too. The Walleye would take the easiest most convenient prey to eat. That would be the minnows and young perch leaving the BCP.

In the north here I have caught many fall Walleye on top water baits like jitter bug and frogs. I think it has to do with bulking up for winter and the water temp being cooler at the surface.

Cheers Don.
