Waited until noon to go out due to the weather and still had solid four footers but his grandson handled the weaves better than Ron. Continue to run bandits and Natural Perch and IB Frozen pulled most of the walleyes.<br />

Walleye bite getting better but with the cold fronts and wind still not typical April success but some nice fish caught both at Niagara Reef and west of Kelly Island. Bandits producing more fish than reef runners 1.4 to 1.5 knots IB Frozen and Natural Perch best crank.<br />

First trip April 11 with team Nedved from Minnesota what a great bunch of guys. The first day was after a snow storm and I had to shovel snow from the boat so we could get out. We fished for three days using bandits on Niagara Reef and west of Kelly Island.<br />

<span style="color: white;">Lake Erie and some of its denizens can both astonish and surprise even those who keep them close — perhaps <em style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">especially</em> those who keep them close.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">Nearer from an organismic point of view than most to the enigmatic lake is Jeff Tyson, a Missourian who has worked as an Ohio Division of Wildlife fisheries biologist since 1994 and as Lake Erie fish management supervisor since 2013.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">Two decades into a career spent studying the smallest, the warmest and the most meddled with of the Great Lakes, Tyson sometimes sounds more like an admirer than a scientist when pronouncing on what might remain the most biologically productive of the five.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">“Lake Erie is still amazing to me,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">What coaxed Tyson’s tribute last week were the findings about this year’s walleye hatch as ascertained by trawl surveys and subsequent number-crunching that concluded this month.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">“Pretty decent for walleye, for sure,” Tyson said. “It’s the best hatch we’ve had since 2003, and a top-five hatch overall.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">The annual count goes back to 1987, late in the decade when the walleye population exploded and Lake Erie earned a reputation as the “walleye capital of the world.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">The brand didn’t seem at all hyperbolic when an estimated 100 million walleye saturated the lake and limit catches of 10 fish per day year-round didn’t seem extraordinary. For reasons not yet fully understood, the boom gave way to a long period of diminished returns.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">Strong and successful walleye hatches occurred in 1994, 1999 and 2003, the latter among the best on record. The years since have been remarkable mostly for their run of mediocrity, as models indicate the walleye population comprising fish age 2 and older has slipped to some 24 million, a fraction of the number from 10 years before.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">The 2015 hatch, however, should be a game-changer, at least for a while.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">“This seems similar to the ’94 hatch,” Tyson said, “though we can’t put it into any kind of context yet.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">It will be two years before the 2015 hatch has any impact on sport fishing, though its influence will continue for a decade and longer. As for what happened to the 1994 class, Tyson said that hatch added some 20 million walleyes to the catchable fish population after two growing seasons.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">When Tyson was asked what made a difference between this year’s successful walleye hatch and so many of its predecessors, he offered a one-word answer: “Winter.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">Gaining acceptance is the notion that Lake Erie walleyes best produce offspring after cold winters that allow the lake’s surface to freeze for a substantial time.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">To be sure, the 2013-14 winter was colder and ice cover lasted longer than during the winter just past, yet its results were closer to average than to spectacular.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">So why the different results?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">The difference between this year’s production and last, Tyson said, suggests a distinction between the number of walleyes that hatch and the number that make it through a gauntlet of conditions that affect survival after the hatch. Those includes the levels of phosphorous, nitrogen and suspended silt resulting from spring and summer runoff, storms and water current, predation by competing species and, to some extent, the intensity of toxic algae blooms.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">Despite consecutive winters during which Lake Erie’s surface froze, ice cover becomes less likely as the climate warms, meaning strong hatches might not occur with regularity. That doesn’t necessarily spell doom for walleyes, though it’s a cool-water species, as long as the lake is made fish-friendly enough to allow the young walleyes to survive when strong hatches do occur.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">“One thing climate change means is a lot of variability,” Tyson said, meaning cold winters simply won’t disappear despite increasing global temperatures.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 0.875em; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.25em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="color: white;">However, they and those big walleye hatches might be farther between.</span></div>

Fished last Saturday in US waters for the first time since the blow two weeks ago. 6 man limit 37 walleyes all good eaters no hawgs. Ran night crawlers with green edge willow leaf blades pulling most of the fish. A north to south troll seam to work the best with a speed of 1.8 to 2.0 knots. August dates still available for walleye or perch charters 419-602-4486.

Here are some of the fish caught this June fishing in Canadian waters. Used the same program the entire month, night crawler harnesses with double willow blades while running 1.7 t0 1.9 knots. Fished east of middle island across the Canadian line 15 of the last 17 days, time for a three day rest.<br />

It shows all the fresh water species and their corresponding water spawn temperatures. The Budman is ready to be launched as soon as the ice is gone. First trip April 11, six more trips for April, so still available dates for this month. Give us a call and get back on the water. </div>

Great job Steve and also Rick Messenburg for the good breakfast and lunch. Tom Mack had a excellent array of boats for everyone to check out. This was the 12th year for the seminar it seems like yesterday when there were just a few people for the first show. Yesterday exceeded 300 people, what a good turn out. See everyone next year.

Large females have been caught from the Huron River to Cedar Point during the day and night while fishing with Huskey Jerks or Perfect 10 crank baits, numerous reports of limits with fish ranging from 8 to 14.8 lbs. If your in Huron and find your self needing some fishing gear check out the Huron Drive Thru which now carries a good supply of walleye crank baits. Rodney will be glad to help you out. Speaking of the owner/operator of the shop, Rodney, will be posting the Fish Huron Fishing Report beginning in 2015. I decided to discontinue writing the fishing report because I fish primarily the west end of the lake and the islands and spend little time out of the Huron River. Rodney will have access to daily Huron fishing information from the bait shop and the fish cleaning station. This will provide the Huron area fisherman with more local fishing information than I supplied fishing the west end of the lake. My thanks goes out to the Fish Huron board for their efforts to support the fishing community and the support they gave me over the last two years. I have enjoyed our business partnership. Thank you very much. I will continue to post a fishing report on my website for those fisherman targeting the western end of the lake and I also encourage you to visit www.ohiogamefishing.com as a third resource for gathering fishing information. I would also like to say thank you for those who followed my fishing posts over the last two years and to wish you and your family a happy, safe and prosperous new year. <br />

Perch fishing has been very good with limits on our last four trips. We concentrated on perch south of Kelly's, south west corner of Kelly's and south of Gull Shoal. Best fishing was usually later in the day after 2:00 pm. Total for each day were 150, 211, 120 and Sunday I fished with my fist mate to get some perch for this winter, 60 in about 2 1/2 hours. Walleyes were stacked south of Gull last Friday and Saturday but were totally gone on Sunday morning and we could not locate them after searching for several hours. Perch trip scheduled for tomorrow, bringing the boat back home Thursday and may fish west of Huron River next week. After that the boat goes to Craft Marine in Sandusky for the winter, really appreciate the customer service from Craft Marine. Will keep everyone apprised of the walleye fishing that first week in November.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08084931758534882819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911844112483900711.post-44280106232823213762014-09-30T10:38:00.000-04:002014-09-30T10:38:24.494-04:00FISH HURON CHARITY DINNER RAFFLE<div class="yiv3738961164MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1412085234574_4270" style="padding: 0px;">
