Crawler harnesses, like the Northland Float’n Harness, are a walleye angler’s staple during the summer months, especially when the water warms and fish move to cooler, deeper haunts.

After the eight-hour drive, we started fishing about 3 p.m. Over the next six hours, we boated our 18-fish limit of walleye and a few jumbo perch that bit while trolling crawler harnesses.

The walleye run in Lake Erie and the Detroit ... or spoons or with spinners and crawler harnesses becomes the preferred method.
