Fish talk - response
gregnwtf is dead ON, with what he is saying... and no this is not a paid advertisement...
I reached out to him because I am new to the lake with a bigger boat and I called him up and he provided a wealth of information. Additionally, he helped me locate some fish when I hadn't been to the lake for a while. And I agree with helping each other out, but also finding your own style. Even if you don't catch fish, but you learn something about the lake, or yourself, it is a great reward in itself. I have chatted with a few of these guys and have yet to meet them. They are straight shooters and very helpful. I just wanted to chime in and say THANK YOU for all that the captains have done, both on the off the water. GOD Bless them.. and God Bless America...

hey guys! thanks for all the great responses. i didnt have problems catching fish when i was on them. it was my first year of trolling and seemed to figure it out a bit. the only time i caught lots of fish all year was when they were west of green. someone recommended to read up on the lake. i think ill do that. i dock in east harbor. i know skipper was heading north of vermillion. im curious on how far that is. and maybe it is necessary to go that far. like i said just starting out and learning. love the info tho guys. and very willing to learn! thanks!

closer fish
In the spring, I dont have to travel more than a few miles at most in early April. I fished April 1st this year, started in 9ft of water 1/2 mile out. Never had to go more than 16 miles. Most days I ran 12 miles and stayed there all day. Skipper9 made alot of runs over 18 miles most days. Not saying thats wrong but thats where he found his fish. Skipper9 likes to run east of his harbor to areas of the lake I fished 15-20 yr ago. Everybody has their own way they want to fish. I fish the west end most of the year and from mid July till Labor day I offer Ashtabula trips but this year I took plenty of fish NE 12 miles of Fenwick Marina.
Next year it will probably be different locations. I may have to run to Maumee Bay area in the spring for jigging. I learned that I love to fish Canadian waters. Its an entirely new way to fish, for the most part. Its alot more reef fishing, which can be tricky but rewarding when pulling fish out of the shallows. Anyways, you can see there are alot of factors to think about each day when you head out. Mayflies bring on another new story for another day.
