Been A While....Had a WHOLE Week Off! I think I forgot how to fish...:)

It's been an entire week since I wrote my blog last, and I have been getting emails and PM's asking me if I'm okay, because I haven't written anything for a while...(thanks for checking in on me, by the way!)

Everything is okay. The three day that I had scheduled last week was cancelled, because the two fellas from Colorado got unlucky and showed up the day the weather went wild here, and the lake rose about 5-6 feet on this end. Then, the NE winds would have kept me off the lake until Wednesday at the earliest, so they went home instead. Then, I was scheduled to have Friday the 5th off anyway, because it was my birthday. Then, a show I was going to do yesterday was rescheduled to July, because of the NE winds again.

I had a quick 4 hour trip this morning, but even though we were marking more fish on the North side of Kelly's than I have ever marked there before, we didn't get anything to bite except one sheephead. Although, we kept losing our nightcrawlers. It is officially my first skunk of the season...and, I don't like it. lol

The guys I had were a lot of fun even though we didn't catch any walleye, and want to come back in the fall to try for a wall hanger.

Most of the reports on the radio while we were out there were telling of a tough bite too. I got one report from a facebook friend that managed 30 on shrimp colored stinger spoons with 20 Jets 140 back. But, that was the best I had heard.

Tomorrow's trip has been rescheduled to more enjoyable weather, since they are residents here, and they don't have to travel in. I will be back out again on Tuesday with two of my regular customers. I think we will be going out of Huron, but that may change if I hear of something better.

So...stay tuned...

Everyone I talked to today got skunked. We managed one eater. Marked a ton of fish. What happen, the storms?

As I mentioned in another thread, we are starting to see some mayflies in point place. Not heavy, but they're starting to show up. Hope this has nothing to do with the slow bite and its just weather related.
Welcome back Juls, its about time you got back to work! Lol

Was just feeling good about not catching them today because most people got skunked to but I just talked to a guy that got a 5 man limit early off of middle island. Back to feeling I suck at walleye fishing.

Made it out today to try my new motor. Motor worked well; better than the fishing. We did manage to get 3 (20") to bite west of Gull, spoons and Jet 30's 75 back at 2 mph.

Did a lap around Kelly's

Left Marzurik's around 6 Sunday morning. Started on the southeast corner looking for new fish. didn't mark any, moved to the east side and picked up couple and some shorts on hammered gold worm harnesses behind 2 oz inline weights 40 back at 1.9 Trolled all the way around to the north side, never marking much and only catching large white bass. Picked and moved to the northwest by the pack of boats near the line, nothing but junk. moved back towards the island, only little high marks and a lot of junk. Moved tight to the island by the southwest point, trolled toward the north tight to the island and finally found the big marks that we have been seeing the last few weeks in 22 fow in the west bay. Made 3 passes at them varying speeds with huskeys, spoons, and harnesses, but no takers. After getting home found that almost everybody that caught had been pounding the bottom. The past few weeks all the fish had been coming high, so never thought to run more than 60 back....afterthought....should have put out the 3 oz bottom bouncers

Thanks for the detailed report...:)

I did have a bottom bouncer down, and it was never touched that day. They just weren't cooperative that day for me. I just hope they are more cooperative today!

I'm going to be fishing from Lucy's to Gull and maybe up by the wagon wheel.....or Mill Point. These guys always have their C-Lic's in case we want to jump over the line to fish. And, with the light winds today, it might be a good day to go up there.

I wonder how much effect the storms that went through last night will have on our little friends?

Good luck if you get out today...:)

If you wanna fish Can waters and make a run to Pt Pelee, its worth your while, was running no 2 tadpoles 40 back with splits and nailing them in both columns of water 1.4 mph predominately pink blades, copper bellies no.6 colorado's, and 2 oz bouncers and harnesses/ same colors, on the bottom in 33ft of water.Lots of chunk there had a 31 and a halfer taken last week and a 30.5 as well. Very very busy took a 6 man limit and had to cut fish to make them all fit into the cooler.Been there only twice, same results.
Might be worth your while and give your guys a real hoot and trailer around to Leamington, stay the night and have your crew meet there, basically a 9 mile run S. along the shoreline to the point.Weather is always a consideration and staying safe is paramount running the shipping lanes in ify weather. Something different is always good!Good luck!

I will be trying that Middle sister Is. international border next week, shorter run than the 21 miler for the aforementioned.:cool:

fwiw, oops

apparently the water has been muddied up as of late because of the heavy rains/since I've been there last, and fish have become scattered, that sucks, that's fishing.....that's Lake Erie, looks like the middle of the Lake for me looking for clear water and fish to the west....
