4/6 second trip

[Capt Porkchop]

Second trip today was a quick one thank goodness the storm is rolling in we had their limits of 18 fish in an hour and a half. The fish are on fire doubles and triples and full box quick. Great fun for the Missouri boys. Absolute blast showing off this fantastic fishery we are blessed with. P10’s 30/30 and 20/20 and bandits 100 and 90 no weight did the damage at 1.6

This. I really appreciate the reports, but without a general area on where you were fishing, it doesn't help nearly as much.

exactly, this web site is to help members get on the fish. so help us do that.

I'm not judging the captains- it's their individual choice how much intel they want to share. It's their livelihoods. However, it's a big lake, with lots of fish for all of us

I really appreciate Juls, because she shares almost everything, unless she gets her secret spots from another captain- that's between them.

However, I'd like to see us weekend warriors putting out a bit more info to help each other out.

ok, the purpose, or I thought , was to help all fish better, and be on the fish, so if your posting then be honest and report your success, if you are just in it for the $$$ then the management of this web site lets to let me know. Water Dog

Cap Pork shared, generally, east of Kelly’s in the earlier reports. This report was viewed as “same program” as others, so I assumed he was east of Kelly’s. I combine that with Juls who said she started east of Kelly’s Saturday, and then all but admitted she moved to Huron based on her network info - but wasn’t specific because it wasn’t her intel. So, even through yesterdays reports, the best reports came from “east of Kelly’s” to Huron. Except Slim who fished muddy, shallow water In Michigan and got some hogs last weekend.

I was up last weekend, and got skunked, east of Kelly’s pulling bandits from 40-160 back, variety for colors and speeds. I’m new at lake fishing, chalked it up to not knowing when to move or how to find them to begin with.

I have been fishing east of Kelly’s island from the island all the way to Lorain and everywhere in between. The fish are moving and moving fast as they are starting to spawn. I have not found fish in the same spot two days in a row yet this year. We have had to work very hard to stay on fish. They are moving all over the place. This is the time that you must use your electronics to find active suspended fish and work them in water that is stained enough and not too much. I am a bit offended at the comments that I am in it for the money and that is it. If that was the case I wouldn’t share any of the information that I do. I feel it is unreasonable for someone to ask any captain exactly where they are fishing. A lot of time and money is invested in finding the fish they are working to satisfy their customers. Let’s face it north of Kelly’s or east of Kelly’s is a huge huge huge piece of water. Bottom line is work the water, work your graph, find fish and work them. That is what I do. Half the fun is the challenge of finding and catching the fish. I hope this helps…

Sam, I feel you and Capt. Jules have offered so much to the people on this site and I am sorry some are demanding you tell them exactly where you fished that day. I think many of us know these fish move often, and if they are in one spot in the morning, they likely won't be in that same spot in the afternoon.
Thank you for all you do for us in helping us to become better fisherman.

Great~! so you were east of Kelly's that day 4/6 , plenty of info. You are a business, I get that so you can keep your exact location close to your Captain chest. I know the fish move all year long and a general report area is great, if you can each time you post give a general area as they move would be helpful, and I feel it is not an unreasonable request. You share what you feel comfortable, when you feel you can. As you noted time and money is invested by your business in locating the fish, all of which can be accomplished more eficently by sharing iformantion by all members in here. I am asked, by members for the coordinates of where I have been fishing, especially during perch season and share that in the spirit of this forum. I am sure Captains read the posts of others in here to help them get on the fish too, in the spirit of this web site, which is also a business that prospers by the sharing members fishing info. I hope you have a better understanding of my position on the matter.
Fish On and Be Safe,
