7/21 walleye casting report

3 of us casting Crib this morning with harnesses and weight forwards. Just us and one other boat most of the morning. Left the Portage about 7a. Bite was solid early, but then had to work for them. Fished until about 12:30 or so. Ended with 11 good ones with 3 around 24”, about 12-15 shorts, 4 cats, and 8-10 sheep. There wasn’t much wind, but when the little we had died, so did the bite. There was a pack of boats at D can with most anchored up perching. It didn’t look like the perch were on fire either. BEAUTIFUL day on the lake!

Tight lines all!

little help where is the crib is that out of Cleveland

Thanks for post and good day casting. Reeling in 24" walleye casting is a reel treat.Congrats.

Crib Reef, north of Kelly's? 41 38.82N 82 39.99W

Crib reef is on the Camp Perry reef complex.

Found it...
41°38'49.8"N 83°00'21.0"W

Crib reef is just a couple miles west of Niagara reef.

Crib reef is an important reef to know about.It is probably the only area west of the islands where you can hit bottom.So any time running in the area of Crib, make sure you go around it.Crib is actually 2 miles SW of Niagra reef.

Thanks for the warning. I'm probably not the only one who was unaware.

Still any walleye around crib? Or where are they?

Saturday casting at Crib. 3 of us started about 645. Had 12 by 9 am Then 4 more in 2 hours called it a day. No wind Total for 2 days 34 on Friday there was 1 other boat working the area. Saturday we were only 1 there. Several head boats working west of us along with a few charters. The best lure is still gold beads with gold blade with a touch of blue on the blade.
