chx-wing - The way I determine the direction of current is to start trolling directly down wind with a dipsy on each side with same settings and lure. But the lure is not necessary for this. Make All...

I use MODIS most times but you need cloud free days to get images.

Also ZoomEarth works same ways.

I could be wrong but I've always heard a WB report with G can being on the firing range. Doubt many are going to the line for perch.

Rickerd

thank you for letting us know WB. We do some interesting things in the Fall in Ohio don't we?

I've had good days with strong NE winds and I'm no pro. Charter captains aren't going to cancel a day unless its blowing over 15.
You've got to find the fish that want to eat. That simple.

thanks for the report. How deep were you fishing?

few reports of walleye west of the islands at this time. I would call Fisherman's Wharf and ask them. They run headboats and charters out of the store. They are helpful to me when I stop it by giving...

just got off the lake. had to leave a good spot by running out of time.
halfway between green can and the island, 25-26 fow. In last 100 minutes 3 of us caught 20 yellow perch on the goldies from...

Billy Boy, Thank you for your post and clarification. Even though its not imperative that I know where you were fishing, since you mentioned an area I hadn't heard of, I had to ask. I thought you...

Thanks for the reports Billy Boy.
I catch walleye consistently between Rattlesnake, West Reef, and Sugar Island. Is this the general area you were in?

I lost a rod to probably a huge sheep head...

Yes I use a size 4 hook to start. many of the smaller perch won't get hooked. We throw back any unharmed fish under 8 inches.

I have found the "lay it on bottom" to work for better size before....

Yes I know the scoops were generous. My buddy paid for 4 dozen. We caught all our fish, and threw back a dozen smalls and a few sheephead, and froze 3.5 dozen still alive after our trip.

My friend bought them from Hiway. Not sure the price. They were all 2.5-3 inches long and only a few goldies same length.

I told my friend on the boat yesterday, the favorite question he asks me is, "where do we want to get the fish cleaned?"

I've used Marblehead FC and also Fisherman's Wharf FC. Blake has used Bays...

2 of us went out Sunday morning from West side of Catawba. We were in the first 25 boats with Lines in water just before 8am and finished limits at 11am. Took us 40 minutes to get the last half...

Thank you WD for the report. That's all we should need to know.

Rickerd

Ted,
That's the simplist best description of freezing minnows I've ever heard.

Thank you,
Rickerd

I use the Windy app. It seems good during most of the summer with predictions 2-3 days in advance.
This doesn't give the waves but I have learned to equate the wind direction and strength with...

G can is the line of cans along the East side of the Camp Perry Firing range.

I circled G can on here.

thank you for the report.

I sent you a text.

thank you for all your reports. Have a nice trip and hope you will post some pike reports too just for fun.

Sunday morning,
My buddy and I fished out of BayPoint on his fabulous Grady. We went out searching and found decent marks east of the DG. Caught 1 keeper about every 20 minutes and ended with 10 in...

I caught one of those fish with eggs a few weeks ago. I also thought it was fat and happy. Eggs were a solid pack.

Rickerd

Thanks, I had my best day casting ever in that area with a WSW wind so I wondered if that had anything to do with it. I have fished same area 4 other times with a different wind direction with not...
