Fishing reports

[addaline]

In my experience, especially this season, there are fish almost everywhere in the areas memtioned in a lot of the reports on this and other sites. For example, I fished out of Port Clinton earlier in June. Reports were that fish were being caught North of Kelly's Shoal. I went up there, saw charter boats, and began fishing in that general area, on the line. I caught limits in that area the next three days. The area I fished was probably 9 square miles, along the state line east and west and and north and south. I went to Huron in mid-June and based on report, fished 40-45 fow between Huron and Vermillion. Caught quick limits all three days of great quality fish. Our trolls were 4-5 miles long and we caught fish all over the place. The idea that the fish are only in a very small area is is nor accurate. All anybody needs most days is a general direction to go, FOW is helpful and whether the fish are on the bottom or mid way up in the water column. This saves a lot of time. Juls reports are great.
I talked to a buddy yesterday who fished North of Kelly's Shoal yesterday. He got a limit very quickly. The fish are still there a month after I fished that area. It may be an unusual year, but, the idea that the fish are isolated to a few small areas is, as I previously stated, just wrong. I talked to an Ohio DNR female worker at the fish cleaning facility at Mazurick's a couple weeks ago. They estimate there are 89 million walleyes in Lake Erie. They may not be biting all day, every day, but they are out there.
