  1. Jim and I hit the Catawba area late September and were surprised to find the walleye stacked up along the shoreline. We caught some largemouth as well. The walleye ...more were so thick guys were catching them from shore too. Come along for the ride in this video below. We recorded the whole day of fun. https://rumble.com/v232g8i-lake-erie-catawba-island-walleye-and-bass-fishing.html?mref=66lt3&mc=9e0fe
