STABLE WEATHER AND LOTS OF WALLEYES 5/20

Returned to D can after a good day yesterday.  My good friend Steve Carlson came along with us today and a group of his associates. The fish were very cooperative finishing with 42 walleyes. I have not made any program changes over the last 11 days and we have been successful everyday, 40 Tru-Trips, scorpion spoons and 30 to 40 leads. We did increase the speed to 1.9 knots anything slower didn't produce fish for us.  Can't say enough of running shorter leads when running Tru-Trip divers. If you haven't seen the new bare naked Tru-trip visit your local tackle shop. See you on the water!

NORTH OF D CAN 5/19

Started out casting just north of D can and only pulled two walleyes in four and a half hours which included a throw back. Switched to trolling and pulled another 18 fish to finish the day. We trolled a north and south line working a small area to catch the walleyes. The combination of 40 Tru-Trips, scorpion spoons continue to produce fish with a speed of 1.9 knots and leads of 30 and 40 feet. It was a beautiful day on the lake. See you on the water!

EAST OF NIAGARA REEF 5/18

Fished east and south east of Niagara Reef and pulled 23 walleyes while running 1.7 to 1.8 knots. The program remained the same scorpion spoons with 40 Tru-Trips and leads of 35 and 40 worked the best. A few fish came on 45 leads. We thought we limited out but were actually one short. Must have been the first mates fault. Go figure!! See you on the water.

FOUR MILES WEST OF RATTLESNAKE 5/17

Strong northeast winds fishing about four miles west or Rattlesnake Island in 4 to 5 footers most of the day. Pulled 31 nice walleyes running 1.7 to 1.9 knots on 40 Tru-Trips and scorpion spoons. Poor Bear Chartreuse, Yager Bomb and Bite Me spoons pulled most of the fish. Ran west to about 2 miles from Niagara Reef with a 250 heading.  See you on the water! 

BETWEEN NORTH BASS ISLAND AND RATTLESNAKE ISLAND

Limited out with 24 nice walleyes pulling 40 Tru-Trips and scorpion spoons running 1.6 to 1.7 knots all day. Most of the fish were pulled running just south of North Bass Island running west to east.  Pooh Bear Chartreuse and Jager Bomb pulled the majority of the fish. See you on the water!

NORTH OF RATTLESNAKE 5/15

Water still stained after the blow from the weekend. Managed 16 nice walleye trolling along the north side of Rattlesnake Island to get out of the strong south west winds. Pulled 40 Tru-Trips with scorpion spoons, Jager Bomb and Pooh Bear Chartreuse catching most of the fish. 40 and 45 foot leads worked the best. See you on the water!

LAKE ERIE PERCH LIMITS 5/12

Yesterday evening my wife and I were having dinner in a popular restaurant in Huron and the discussion came up on the yellow perch limit for Lake Erie. The limit remains the same as last year at 30 perch per angler and not 40. The 40 perch limit is for inland waters and not Lake Erie and it's tributaries, so read the fishing regulations carefully and know where you are fishing before you keep 40 perch. The fine or ticket will be a dollar amount for each illegal fish taken. See you on the water!

SOUTH OF RATTLESNAKE 22 FEET OF WATER 5/11

Left the dock at 8:00 am and pulled a two man limit by 10:00 am. Ran a south to north line a mile south of Rattlesnake and pulled 12 walleyes all on spoons, most of the fish were caught on a  Pooh Bear Chartreuse Scorpion spoon. The best speed was 1.5 to 1.6 knots on leads of 45 to 50 feet back on 40 blood red Tru-Trips. The largest fish was 29 inches. I guess we will have to see what happens to the lake with the wind predicted for Sunday, waves 5 to 8 in the morning. May not be too bad. Start looking for those walleyes to show up in the Huron area and north to the Canadian line and west to the Vermilion weather buoy. See you on the water!

WEST OF RATTLESNAKE 30 FOOT OF WATER 5/8

Fished 1/2 day trip and had to change from harnesses and Reef Runners to spoons to catch fish. Switched to Michigan Scorpion spoons started catching immediately pulled 8 fish in two hours with three fish over 27 inches. Jager Bomb and Pooh Bear Chartreuse  pulled all the fish except a low diver 22 back on a Pink Lemonade Ripsick. Best lead on the spoons were 45 and a speed of 1.3 to 1.4 knots.  Great job Wyatt!
See you on the water!
