Massassauga provincial park, Walleye insight

[Winterfisher]

Hey all,

Heading to Massassauga provincial park in a couple weeks for the wife and I's 10 year anniversary. Spending 3 days. The sites we chose are on the south end. Fishing from canoe.

As a self proclaimed walleye snob, does anyone have any insight on what walleye techniques work best in this area. Are they "look for weed beds and worm harness the edges" walleye. Or "look for Shoals and rock piles and crank bait over" walleye. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Been there numerous times. Bass, pike, never got a single walleye, no matter what I did: casting or trolling, fishing secluded bays or more open water. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Theoretically, there should be walleye as it is known to be spawning in the Moon river. Not for me however.
‘South end’ seems to be a very broad term for this huge park. Perhaps, it is more important where you are going to fish - more East, in more stained water or more West, closer to open and more clear water.
Will be very curious if you get any.
Good luck!

Thanks, ill see if I can get the campsite numbers from my wife.
Not what I was wanting to hear about the walleye. I know it is known as more of a pike spot. Ill see what i can do. Ill post if I get any walleye.

Even though I have been hooked by fishing for a long time and quite heavily I do not consider myself any close to being a skillful angler. My experience may not be counted seriously.
Try your best.

Sites 307 and 324, if that helps for location

Oh, yea, I’ve been around these sites, in Moon Bay, many times. I’m really curious if you will get any walleye or anything else besides bass and pike in there.
Campsite 307 is more East close to Captain Allan Strait from which you can go to Woods bay where Moon river flows. I’ve never been there.
Theoretically, you'd have a better chance of finding walleye there, but I would imagine there's also a lot more boat traffic and fishing pressure.

Awesome, thanks again for the insight. Will post my triumph or failure in a few weeks

Best of luck! Been there a handful of times myself and have never had luck with walleye's, maybe you can give us some hope though
