I went out on a charter on Wednesday March 27, with Captain Chris out of Sterling State Park Michigan, there was over 200 boats out that day and every single boat was trolling. One of our crew ask when will he (Captain Chris) be doing jigging charters, he said "about two (2) weeks April 10ish" After we fished we stopped at Angler's Fish Camp to get the 14 Walleye cleaned, they are located at 6647 N La Plaisance Rd, Monroe, MI 48161 they are open for the season from; 6o AM - 9:00 PM, they had Shiners Additionally my fishing friend who lives in Oak Harbor told me Bite Me Bait is open behind Wild Wings, they also have Shiners.

And where are you

[captain tacky]

And where are you

He Owens the Bait Shop on Rt. 2 between Yondota and Teachout Rds in Jeruslem Twp
( Curtice ) Ohio , great Guy Known him long time been arround a while makes all Jigs himself .
Also make great Perch spreaders , all at reasonable pricing , probably best you will find.

Jigging is slow need to be at the right place at right time, key is to move if not catching. once we get some warm days ( Probably this coming weekend it will be on fire .

was out for a boat test run yesterday, no fishing. the water temp out of wild wings in the early evening was a constant 42.6 by the lowrance hook9. we went out a mile or so, water was very muddy. normally it takes water temps in the mid lower 40s to start to trigger the spawn. I'm sure fish are getting staged up in these areas and can be had. in the next 2 weeks the action will really kick up
