Thurs was tough with wind,Chad still kept on 13-15 fow and picked up 7 on two blows. Congrats to shane for his first lake eye. Even though we headed back early , chad's taking us back out when the lakes not bitchin, date is set. Thanks to Chad and the Spackl'n Eye crew. Oh Yeah conversation on the trip included the wacker represenitive , not Lowe but the WCKR 2. By the time we pulled back in to wings the laugh carried to the hooker ,cleaning the fish. hey whacker 2, think.
As Mr. Bill says " Oh Nooooooooooo"
Fish on- Not sure what you mean. Could you be a bit more explicit? By the way I like how you refer to wild wings as "wings", I refer to that hole as hillybilly harbor.
Wack it 2, your depiction of Wings being a hillbilly harbor is probably correct, alot of good captains and private boats use this basin. Nothing wrong being labeled a ridge runner thanks for the compliment, I think you are starting to realize your judgement to " represent the wacker now and then" remember? Again think, and good to hear from Jig- Capt. Chad says tight lines.
Hey Fish On. I fished the same area on Thursday with similar results. Don't get too worked up over the Wacker. Obviously he is not an honest fisherman like most of us here. I'm gonna head out this weekend from "hillbilly harbor" and get me some eyes. Hope to see you and the boys from the Spacklin Eye out there.
Got a condo rented at Wild Wings-Green Cove Villas for the first week of June. Why are you guys calling it "hillbilly harbor" is there something about the place I should know????
no there is nothing worng with Wild Wings Green cove it is nice place to stay
kodiak,the only one who says its hillblly heaven is the pud whacker....his name says it all.I stay at wild wings,its a nice place.green cove condos are real nice...nothin for you to worry about
Thanx BW, appreciate the comeback
Wild wings is a fine place to put in, western basin fishin has went to weight forward (erie dearie, golden nugget) No trolling on the Spackling, everyone can set the hook if the fish are hitting. No disrespect to the trollers, theres something unique about the "tap, then tap " and set the hook. Time for worms and working the depths, with drift.
Thanx FishOn, kinda partial to casting myself but if trollin is working I am all for that also. Got big boards spoons and RR's ready to go.
Kodiak 50-
Wild wings is a hole, plain and simple. No one is telling you about all the theft they have had the last couple of years. I used to keep my boat down there in April and early May, but not anymore. I got tired of people stealing stuff off of my boat. Drive around the place and take a good hard look. There are a lot nicer places to stay for the same or even less money. Wild Wings at one time was a premier place, but over the past 5 to 7 years it has quickly gone down hill. Like anything, when the wrong element shows up, watch out.
Lots of differing opinions on WW and Green Cove, guess i will just have to be careful and take the tackle in at night.
Kodiak, your fishing is going to be in the area of . Wild wings, Fenwyck marina and Turtle creek , staying at green cove the slip to the lake is known as wild wings and is a direct placement on (the w. basin) quicker than others, your choice to work North or head east and work the reefs using the wind to still pick up some eyes and a smallie if not Work the deeper and get hits, anchor and see if the delectable yellows are there wait 10-15 move and do it again. It does suck pulling the anchor but sometimes it pays, so says Capt Chad. and as far as the wacker2 rep goes piss up a limb. one limey to another.
Thanx Fish On, I have fished out of Fenwick's several times, heading there Thursday for a one day trip with an old pal. Just had never stayed at Green Cove Condo's. Hope the fishin picks up some this week. And thanx for the info.
FishOn-Great advice, Kodiak 50 should have a great day on the water reeling in fish after fish if he follows your step by step instructions to a successful day on Lake Erie. Maybe with a little luck, he will get into some of those "delectable" yellow perch that abound in the area. Sounds like you really know the water. Let Capt. Chad know this, if you carefully choose your spot, closely monitoring your finder and knowing what you are looking at before you drop it, you shouldn't have to move perch fishing. If you set up on fish and they shut down, more than likely they shut down everywhere. Stay on those fish and wait for them to turn back on. While everyone is wasting time and gas, I sit where I am at and wait for the fish to turn back on. Works everytime, but only if you carefully chose your spot.
