Another big blow starting tonight (Thursday) through Friday. Out of the west, so not going to hit the south shores directly, but it looks like another weekend of muddied up water, plus a lot of rain...

The question inqiring minds what to know is... did you notice any change in the fishing during the totality? Or a few minutes before and after? Birds stop flying (if there were any)?

If I had...

If anyone is stuck at home or work or knows someone out of state, I will be live streaming the solar eclipse on my Lake Erie website. One camera at home (fishing report page at the bottom), the...

Traditionally jigging is done during the spawn period, from mid-March to late April, depending on the year. This year is early, with water temps on the main reef complex (off Davis Besse nuclear...

No matter how you are fishing, the main idea is to keep the bait in the 'fish zone' (where the fish are in the water column). Fishing jigs you are going to be on or near the bottom. No wind or...

May 11/12 weekend is past the spawn season (bigger fish on and around the reefs), even on a late winter season (80-90% done). Your biggest issue will be, as usual, weather. Don't change your travel...

There was a Pro at the fishing Expo. Went to his seminar on LE walleye fishing (also last year). He almost always jig fishes, year round. Fishes the Detroit River as much as LE. He said he...

Just took a look at the Maumee Tackle river fishing report. Wow. Some walleye, and not small ones, were caught back around February 10-11. Not just a few, as in a two or three people. Several...

If anyone wants to see photos of the various launch ramps, you can go to the link below. Photos are 5-6 years old. I plan to update them this spring.

Lake Erie Boat Launch Ramps

Show is worthwhile again this year. Lots of walleye tackle (some new) and several good Lake Erie walleye fishing seminars as well as sonar and other good info presentations.

One of the seminar presenters at the Columbus Fishing Expo fished Erie a few days ago. Got a limit trolling out off I think Huron, but it may have been Lorain. I can't remember for sure. Guy...

Just a reminder this coming weekend, February 9, 10,11, is the annual Columbus Fishing Expo, or as it is now known, National Fishing Expo Columbus (they have a second show in Cincinnati March 1-2),...

Buddy got a boat ride back on Saturday late morning (not an airboat). Haven't talked with him, so haven't got the info on the boat. Obviously capable of running with ice in the water. He sent a...

Buddy is still stuck on South Bass Island. May not be able to leave until Sunday. Airplanes still grounded due to fog.
Two week forecast doesn't look good for ice fishing to start again, maybe the...

My buddy who went to South Bass Island to ice fish back on Sunday is still there this morning (Friday). He's been stuck on the island since Tuesday. Too foggy to fly. The last two days he did some...

Buddy fishing out north of South Bass Island today, with a guide (Tuesday, January 23). Has a few walleye. Seven inches of ice. Will see when he comes in what they say about how long they will...

Buddy fished yesterday afternoon / evening out off South Bass Island, North side. He didn't say much, other than he didn't catch anything. He's back at it today, so I'll give a report after he gets...

Ice fishing has begun!

Have a buddy going over to South Bass Island tomorrow to ice fish. He said 7 inches of ice. Web cams show shanties in the usual place off the North side of South Bass...

All depends where the walleye are biting that day. Since you are trailering, best to launch close to the fish. Catawaba State Park would be the "central" most ramp, you can go either west, north,...

Well the Arctic Blast has done a number on the Lake so far. Water levels are way down in the Western Basin and ice is forming in nearshore areas protected from the wind. Western Basin lake info...

"Artic Blast" starts tomorrow night and runs through next Sunday. Then it warms up the 22 through the 26. Then back into real cold again for the rest of the month, into early February. That four...

Thought I'd start a little ice fishing conversation.

Lake water temperature off Toledo is 37 degrees (Wednesday, January 10). That means it has to drop five degrees to get to freezing temp. 39...

Forgot to mention I'll be live streaming the hunt tomorrow (Saturday).
