fished wild wings 04-05-08

[jiginitis69]

I have no plans to wait two weeks to get the boat wet again. I was there sat also and my take is a little different. I went out of fenwick 4/5/08. Fished from 8-2:00 with 6 of us. We saw two nets swing among the approx 300 boats between cone/pickerel reef/ locust reef and in shallow. It is a simple case of heavy rains and field run off combined with 3 days of northeast winds not letting the muddy water disperse. Did ya notice all the flooded agricultural fields? Not a good sign. The fish are there, but suspended. The females will not lay eggs in water that muddy. Not saying thier smart, but thier instincts tell them that the mud will sufficate the eggs when it settles.
We had strong south & southwest winds yesterday. Light SE today. God willing we will keep some south and west to the wind this week. If we do the water will clear and the spawn will be on. I will be fishing Thur/Fri/Sat/ & Sun will post our results.
Our results sat were worse than yours. I rolled 4 or 5. Hooked one foul. Let it go. Talked with 4 charters and they said the same. Just too darn dirty.
There were some dandy logs to dodge though.

C Ya on the water

The Buckeye was out yesterday in the reef area in front of Wild Wings.The fish are not there ,if you run out another mile to around 17 to 20 feet of water there is large amounts of them,the water is still too dirty and the water temp is 43 ,Im going to guess 1 more week the fish will move in.
On a side note I have noticed the rivers having maybe there best year in the last decade,lots of old female being pulled out,I
hate to say that but that is going on.
We r useing floating jig with 3-4 ft liter with a light weight on top of it.



The Buckeye of course

erie rebel. your right about the forecast, but I will adjust where I launch to relieve the impact. Strong west winds I will launch in Michigan. Strong south I'll move back to Fenwick. I have had some of my best days jigging when we had to suck the ice off our pole guides. (that just dont sound right) I dont care about rain, snow, sleet, or even hail, but 4-6 ft waves jigging aint no fun. If we have that then I'll crappie fish my pond.

Jiginiti69,
You mentioned on another post that I could go out of Cullens Park and fish the bay area also. Will I need both Mich / Ohio License for that area? Driving 5 hours and would really love to fish by Wild Wings / Happy Hookers area if weather will hold. Willing to move around if need be and Friday looks the worst as far as wind goes. I have never fished the river run out of Peryysburg but might try that on the way up Friday if wind is a killer?

Thanks for all you help and input!
