Hi all. Was looking to get out next 3 days out of indiana. Was looking for any tips or clues on where to start. Was thinking on starting on east kellys and out front of cedar point. Or launching from huron and working that towards vermilion. Any help would be greatly appreciated and will keep you all updated on how we do!
Look at my post for the Castle 03/26. Can't ask for a better trip out.
I have the same dilemma. I would rather fish Kelleys but right now the water color and bite out of Huron is better than off Kelleys. Just head north out of Huron until you hit stained water. It is not far.
If you decide to fish Kelleys you may want to try the South Passage if you can find dingy water there.
Chromes were best yesterday, but darker baits produced best today.
If my guests doesn't object, I will post our report tomorrow on where we went and what we find.
we fished Wednesday thru Friday northwest corner of Kelly's. clear water to stained. caught our limits in the stained. blue chrome and white did best
Thanks all. I think I'll start by huron from the sounds of it which is what I figured from last satellite image. I'll keep you guys posted on how we do. Appreciate all the input!
Launched at huron at 800 and was fishing at 830. We got 15 walleye that was a real nice grade of fish. 10 of them were 25 to 29 inches. 1.1 to 1.4 sog. Best leads were 60 to 120 unassisted. Colors were all over. Blue chrome, Wonderbread, electric zebra, taco salad and firetiger doing well. Really had to grind for them after the morning bite. Back at it tomorrow. Will let you know how we do.
I didn't get out of Huron until 1:00 and it was really slow for us. We marked allot of fish deep but nothing would rise on our Bandits or P10s. We ground out a limit of eaters but nothing to brag about, All our fish came on super rogues 35 to 38 deep over 40. Speed was 1.5. Chrome blue and gold red were the best colors.
The FishAngler app's fish forecast shows that the time you were fishing was a very low bite time, so it's not your skills that are at fault...:)
What, there's a fish app?? Capt Juls, you must have developed some faith in it over time or you wouldn't have shared it eh? Like the hunting apps it wouldn't keep me home but what a cool motivator to stay out longer if it's good, like mid day. Especially for us who aren't under any time crunch out there. Thank you as always for sharing your experiences and insight.
We got our butt kicked today. By the water and the fish lol. 1 measly walleye. Have me wondering to head to monroe michigan in the morning or sticking it out here 1 more day. Trolled in front of castle and out front of cedar point and neither produced for us even though we were marking fish. Hope you all are doing better than us lol
I was thinking of heading to Huron in the morning but maybe not with that report. Does anyone know if there is stained water between Monroe and the islands? Last I could see it looked fairly muddy.

Heard the lake was better overall today but we still had fun jigging up some fish. Caught them mid river by Wyandotte with just jig and minnow and stinger hook. No plastics. Won't be back up until later in april. Best of luck everyone!
Awesome! Thanks for the report. If we weren't expecting gale force winds tomorrow, I would be out there with 500,000 of my closest friends....:)Quote:

Winds pick right back up again on Monday morning then a little break Monday afternoon through Tuesday but back up again Wed-Thur. At least right now the winds for next weekend are forecast to be light.
It will take awhile for this muddy mess to settle down. Air temps warm up overall next week. The walleye are out there, we all know they are, just waiting for the right conditions to move back near and onto the various spawning grounds. We have to be patient, even though it's hard. April is here so no matter the year the walleye season is soon to start. But again, from the looks of the satellite it will be at least a week, maybe longer, before the Lake settles down enough to provide good fishing for everyone.
