Walleye fishing at Grand River Marsh*

Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 3 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.
