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.
Ok, sounds like a troller post, (not everyone is a troller) However when you get on the Yellow Gold it is a different story, I have fished the same area , in the past, I have 5 days straight IN THE PAST ,I got my limit 5 days in a row in 2 -3 hours, so if you are not a troller you know that the area is very important , I do post exact location (of my honey hole) Post as much as you can when you can to the extent that you can, what I was using, bling or no bling, depth of water, and others in the area. THAT IS HOW YOU GROW A COMMUNITY OF FISHER PEOPLE!
Tight lips do not educate a community , but loose lips do educate and grow a fisher person community.
Keep that in mind when you post your results (or not), and do share like Jules does, she can put you in the area and the rest is up to you.
