The walleye bite continues to be slow in the Western Basin as demonstrated in last weekend MWC tournament held out of the Huron Boat Basin. I attended the weigh in on the first day of the tournament and the leader managed 26.14 lbs for a five fish total. It was a tough day for the entire field and it sounded like most of the field were pulling night crawler harnesses. The second day was slightly better with the winning team having a 32.07 lbs for five fish. Congratulations to Mark Brumbaugh and Michael Robertson who were in seventh place after the first day but with their 32.07 lbs the second day were winners after the two day event with a ten fish total of 50.0 lbs. Great job guys.
The majority of the charter captains are still fishing for perch but that should change any day. The weather buoy, old C can and the Northwest corner gull shoal have been producing some nice perch. Some scattered walleyes are being caught from Sawmill to Lorain running reef runners with everyone waiting for the large walleye schools to return to the Western Basin. The Huron Walleye Challenge will be held this coming Saturday and I believe the fishing will be much improved. There is a total of 106 boats fishing this tournament. Good luck to all of the participants. See you on the water!
