The Sinbad’s walleye tournament is this weekend in the Detroit River (more info on walley-palooza here). We have received reports from several guides that they have been cancelling walleye jigging trips due to the horrible water conditions.  With the heavy rains and wind, the Detroit River is so muddy it seems that you could almost walk across it. With calmer winds on Friday, hopefully the water will clear up before the tournament start.  We have not received any reports of fish being taken in the last day or so, but there have been a very few guys out giving it a go.  Looks like decent weather for the weekend. Good luck to all the tournament fishermen.
