Spent all day at the lake today. Took the camper up, set-up and etc. A walleye tourney out of Fenwick Marina today. Not much action with jigging yet with cold water temps in the mid to upper 30's. Some boats jigging getting a handful and some only getting one or two walleye. The small boats are doing some trolling with crankbaits very slow. Husky jerks 70ft at 1.1 to 1.2. The area most of them fished was from The open area from Green, Catawba, F- can and then North. Marking alot of fish but slow bite. The winning bag of 5 walleye was about 51 pounds total. The biggest single walleye was near 14.5 pounds. Most of the bags were 38-48 pounds that we heard in the time I was at the marina.
Fenwick dredging now at the area the channels come together and then they will be cleaning the entrance at the lakefront. Warm sunny conditions will help turn the fish on at the reefs. Maumee bite has started to turn on the last couple days as the warm runoff hits the spawn areas. Our boats are going in the water the next few days. Ready to fish after a long winter no thanks to Punksy Phil. A couple peak dates open for April mid to late month. Mid to late month should shape up to be some fantastic jigging like it should be if we get normal weather. Some wind helps with some some plankton moving around to feed the walleye fry. I also have Friday April 19th available for either a morning or afternoon jig trip for those of us wanting blow the day off work.
