i live in southwestern michigan. i would like to maybe fish the inland lakes around here but i am willing to travel. my job is in indianapolis, but i am home three days a week. that gives me alot of time to fish.

You should check out Diamond Lake in Cass County if you want to catch some eyes. I also hear that Simonton Lake in Elkhart has quite a few eyes in it as well. I am not a walleye fisherman, but would love to learn to target them in this area as well. I have a lot on a private lake in White Pigeon that is supposed to have some nice eyes in it as well, but I have not been able to catch any. Magician is another good choice for someone in Southwestern MI. I have heard that it is the best lake in Cass County as far as walleye fishing goes. Hope this helps you out. I just wish I could give you some specifics, but as I stated I don't claim to be a walleye expert.

Don't put that boat away yet, the best is yet to come. Keep an eye on this site and you can learn a lot. There are a number of good rivers in SW mich. with a good supply of Walleye, St.Joe, K-zoo, Grand and Muskegon to name a few. These river get better as the temps drop and fish move out of Lake Mich
Welcome to the site, you will notice there a few diehard Walleye anglers here that don't put there boats away untill you can't break the ice at the ramps anymore.
