Im new to fishing the champlain area. And I'd like to target walleye and drum out of shelburne area but i only seem to catch bass. I was running some reef runners and some walleye nation cranks but I only get bass shallow (20-40 feet) or lakers 80+ feet.... I ran all the way to Colechester reef and caught one small drum. Jigging a Jigging rap . But I am still just figuring it out. Is it worth running crawler harnesses? Im thinking of buying some blade baits too but idk. Just curious what others opinions are. And im trying to catch some eyes for some fish tacos.

For walleye 830pm to 11pm seems to be the key time:)

I’ve only done drum as by-catch so can’t help much
