Shipping Channel To Toledo Lighthouse July 17
For those who are in a hurry, didn't catch anything. We started 4:30pm near the large buoy about 2/3 of the way to the harbor light just outside the channel, 10 ft. of water, and let the wind take us along, since we didn't anchor. About an hour of that, and very few fish on the fishfinder, we had drifted about 1.5 miles north. We moved into the channel about 35' water. I got one nibble, and that was it. Gave that about an hour, and headed back towards the mouth of the Maumee river. Stopped about a mile short of that and fished in the channel for about 30 min, and packed it in. Our best tactics and spinners, spreaders, and shiners, all bright colored, did nothing for us. Maybe next time...
Fishing is the number 1 Rest and relaxation past time
A bad day fishing is always better than a good day at work. I feel blessed to be fortunate enough to afford a boat, gas docking etc. when so many are feeling the squeeze of energy prices escalating out of control. I wish you all coolers full of fat fish. The dog days are getting shorter and the bite will pick up. There was just an enormous hatch of mayflies. It's hard to compete with that. Keep the lines wet and tight.
Peace,
