Shipping Channel To Toledo Lighthouse July 17

[cheapeep36]

For those who are in a hurry, didn't catch anything. We started 4:30pm near the large buoy about 2/3 of the way to the harbor light just outside the channel, 10 ft. of water, and let the wind take us along, since we didn't anchor. About an hour of that, and very few fish on the fishfinder, we had drifted about 1.5 miles north. We moved into the channel about 35' water. I got one nibble, and that was it. Gave that about an hour, and headed back towards the mouth of the Maumee river. Stopped about a mile short of that and fished in the channel for about 30 min, and packed it in. Our best tactics and spinners, spreaders, and shiners, all bright colored, did nothing for us. Maybe next time...

We really don,t need your report as the gas money spent and the bait money spent was a waste of time and money.If you can't run with the big dogs STAY HOME ON THE PORCH.There are good perch reports coming in.You were about five miles west of them.

Well thanks for the nice response mr eerie rebel...is it you who does not need my report, or is it "we"? Who is "we"?? The first sentance summarized my trip! You should have stopped there! Well, enjoy, may the Lord bless you in ways you never dreamed of, and get out there and catch something!!

A bad day fishing is always better than a good day at work. I feel blessed to be fortunate enough to afford a boat, gas docking etc. when so many are feeling the squeeze of energy prices escalating out of control. I wish you all coolers full of fat fish. The dog days are getting shorter and the bite will pick up. There was just an enormous hatch of mayflies. It's hard to compete with that. Keep the lines wet and tight.
Peace,
Spoontang

Thanks cheapeep for the report, not like some people that seems like they have a personal problem. (Eire Rebel) This is place that people come to read reports. good or bad. Thanks again.

Hey spoontang have you ever seen me give a bad report or give someone advice that was nothin but a bunch of bull?When ever I am on the water I always give a decent report.Where,how and when.With the price of gas these days it pays to do your homework.Call the bait shops find out what is going on before you even leavr your driveway.I have only had two trips out this year when we have Not limited out.That is out of twelve trips.
