Western Basin Fishing

[fishkiller16]

Well we made it to Put in Bay OH. in one piece no issues with the truck or trailer. We should be fishing by tomorrow afternoon. I launched the boat and ran it about 1.5 miles to the marina where we are docked for the week. It ran good, with no issues so far.

Good luck! Keep us posted on ur catches. Did you by chance get a water temp reading at that end?

Jim, there are many and big fish north and east of the islands good luck! The bite was tough for us in April

Fishkiller - do they know your reputation at the western end ? Of do you have to reestablish it there?

Fishkiller, my dad and I are staying at wild wings for the weekend. Today we went through all of our waypoints from the last 4 years and came back with nothing. Had friends here last weekend and it was tough for them too. Like short handed said, if the fish are east of the islands I would concentrate there.

We ended up with 2 , we fished about 4 hrs. We had 1 that was 9.3 lbs and 1 around 6.5 lbs. 250 we fished between Rattle snake and South Bass, they were picking them up all around us. Call me on 68 if you want.

Picked up 3 today jigging before the sun came up, stayed with the pack until 8:30 only seen 1 other walleye caught. Moved outside of the range cans to troll, marked a ton of fish but couldn't get anything to go. Fish killer, I wanted to head over your way but it was just to rough. Everybody we talked to only had 1 or 2. Surface temp was 53-55. Bailey, my concrete is good, where my truck gets parked spalled a little but not to bad.

Matt clean area good and buy a good salt guard sealer the new liquid melter plus salt is bad on crete. As it drips of truck it builds up and is constant all winter. Plus the freeze thaws we get now just melts it off vehicles. Good luck glad your getting a few 3 wks and game on here.

Why am I NOT seeing any posts from the western end of lake Erie - Jim.??? You had to have caught at least one or two by now. Do they have internet in Ohio.

ps- I have a couple of questions about mounting the new Traxstech Mast when you get back and rested up.
