This Weekend 3/14-15/09

The entire W. Basin is a mud pit and garbage bin after all the rain. The Maumee is as high as it has been for this time of year in many years. I would not think this weekend would be a good choice. The mud will be very thick and I would guess there will be floating debris. Not only has it rained a ton, the winds have been high. I live near the lake, it lucks ugly right now. The lake is still very cold and it will be slow to settle. The river is about to crest, so slowly there will be relief.

I'm not going out. It will be a mess. Go to NOAA and look at the satelite photo for the mud line. YUK!

Mudline? That is one big line, it is all one line. Little more patience.

Could you post a link to the NOAA satellite image? I'm interested in seeing this mudline. I'm assuming the muddy waters really slow down the walleye bite. Anyone with more info on what to look for on water clarity and how long the lake typically takes to settle. Looking to go out in the Maumee bay area early April with a few buddies.

Newest photo shows the lake better off than I thought, but is still pretty bad. The reefs clean up first. Might be better fishable mid to late next week. The weather here is suppose to stablize a little bit for the next few days. The water is so cold it does take more time for it to settle and clean up. (dense water)
