PELEE WAGON WHEEL 6/24

Fished just off Pelee Island Saturday and limited out with 36 walleyes by 1:30 pm. Worked a very small pocket running north and south the entire day approximately .7 miles. 40 Tru-Trips and harnesses with willow leaf blades at 1.8 knots. Several other captains also limited out while running harnesses and Scorpion spoons. Nice grade of fish for a total of 134 lbs. 3.7 lb average with the biggest fish at 28 inches. I have heard good reports from the weather buoy to the sandbar. If you find some fish be sure to turn on them and continue to work that area and you will fill your fish box. See you on the water!

GULL SHOAL 6/22

Fished the west side of Gull Shoal since no one wanted to get Canadian licenses. Half day trip and the bite was good for about two hours from 8:30 to 10:30 with 15 walleyes and no big fish but still a decent size. All harnesses on Tru-Trips with 35 and 40 foot leads and a speed of 1.7 knots. Lots of marks at 28 feet but could not pull any of the fish at the deeper depths. Ran some 65 foot leads but the deeper fish would not cooperate. The Canadian bite slowed down today with most captains taking most of the day to get 30 to 36 fish. Running tomorrow to Canada not sure where but maybe east of Middle Island and going North. The walleye bite along the weather buoy has also slowed down with lost of white bass the last couple of days. It seems that the 90 degree temperatures has really slowed the walleye action. See you on the water.

WEST OF PELEE ISLAND 6/17

Fished the west side of Pelee Island again today. 19 walleyes by 9:30 with the same program as the last two trips. 40 Tru-Trips have really pulled these fish with short leads on harnesses. Best speed today was 1.9 to 2.1 knots faster than the last couple of trips. See you on the water!

CANADA SOUTHWEST OF PELEE 6/16

Awesome morning bite southwest of Pelee 32 walleyes by 10:15 am. Pulled 40 Tru-Trips and harnesses 35 and 55 leads while running 1.5 knots south and 1.8 knots north. Nice grade of fish but no hawgs. Largest fish 27 1/2 inches. It's been several years since fishing in Canada and I have really enjoyed this past week. See you on the water.

MIDDLE ISLAND CANADIAN LINE

Fished allow the canadian line northwest of Middle Island good bite this morning finished by noon with 38 walleye total weight 134 lbs. Ran harnesses color didn't matter. 35 foot leads on 40 Tru-Trips mostly at 1.8 knots. What was really nice little to no boats in the area. See you on the water!

CANADIAN LINE EAST OF MIDDLE ISLAND 6/11

Fished east of Middle Island and managed 25 walleyes while running harnesses at 1.8 knots. Best color was orange and purple beads with gold willow leaf blades. Very slow bite but a good grade of fish. Good reports received on trips to Canada west of Pelee Island with limits by noon. See you on the water!

GULL SHOAL 6/9

Fished north end of Gull Shoal and limited out with 30 walleyes. Ran harnesses on 40 Tru-Trips with all 35 leads, approximately 17.5 feet down the water column. Best color harness was purple/orange beads with gold willow leaf blades with orange tape. Ran mostly at 1.8 knots. This trip makes 4 days in a row and is enough for this captain, need a day to rest but fishing again Monday. See you on the water!

MIDDLE ISLAND 6/8

Caught 33 walleyes fishing south of Middle Island running east to west pulling all harnesses back 35 on 40 Tru-Trips. All harnesses caught fish but orange/yellow beads, orange/green beads with gold willow leaf blades were the best colors. Best speed was 1.7 to 1.8 knots. The largest two fish were 31 and 30 inches. If you haven't tried willow leaf blades when trolling I think you be surprised at the results. See you on the water!

TACO BELL AND MIDDLE ISLAND 6/7

Started in the Taco Bell area with good marks and pulled 9 walleyes the first two hours pulling harnesses and Scorpion spoons on 40 Tru-Trips back 30 to 35 feet. Both programs worked but the fish shut down and when there were too many boats to troll properly so a move was made to Middle Island. Caught an additional 15 fish with most caught on harnesses back 35 feet. Best colors were orange and yellow beads with gold willow leaf blades taped with corresponding green or chartreuse tape. Concentrated on small pockets of fish, no long trolls. Best trolling speed still between 1.8 to 2.0 knots. If you find and catch a few fish turning back and working that area repeatedly may increase you success rate. See you on the water!

TACO BELL 6/6

First day fishing after the weekend of high winds. Water clarity was good but the fish would not cooperate. Managed only 11 walleyes fishing the top of North Bass to the Canadian line. Ran all Scorpion spoons on 40 Tru-Trips with 35 being the best lead. Large sheep head ruled the day with scattered white bass. Many charter books in the area but most reported very slow day. Things should improve with good weather the rest of the week. See you on the water!

FINALLY NO WIND

After three days of heavy winds the National Weather Service in Cleveland is calling for north winds 5 to 15 knots. Waves 1 to 3 feet. I cancelled trips for Friday, Saturday and Sunday and did some maintenance on the boat, made up leaders, harnesses and started preparing for the next charter. Few Captains fished the last three days but several tried with little results. Things should return to normal in the next couple days. Prior to the winds fish were being caught north side of Rattlesnake, Taco Bell and Middle Island on spoons and harnesses. Also a report some nice walleyes were caught on the Huron Dump drifting purple harnesses on the bottom. Any one having success in other areas and would like to share your information with fellow anglers just send me an email. See you on the water!
