Fishing with Dave Mattlin 7/18/14
Well, since the crew I originally had scheduled for today had to reschedule for Monday, I was able to fill today's slot with a repeat customer. Dave Mattlin saw my note on Facebook about the crew having to reschedule, and wanted to come back over to fish Erie again. This time he came alone though, because the last time he was here, his nephew got seasick, and his daughter took a nap up on the bow.
He got up at 1am to make the drive to my house from Indiana, and arrived here at 5:30 this morning. We headed back over to Huron, since my crew and I did very well there yesterday morning, and headed out of the channel at 6:30.
It's nice being one of the first boats on the water and watching the sun come up. There were two other boats in the vicinity of where I was planning on fishing, so we set down off plane, and set lines.
It was a slower start than it was yesterday, but the fish were still there. They just weren't in a mood for breakfast yet. Within the first hour and a half we were able to put 4 fish in the boat, with one of them being a piggy fish.
The white perch and white bass bite was insane and it was a constant effort to retrieve boards and re-bait hooks, but in the end it was worth the effort. Dave manage to catch his limit and then we worked on mine.
Dave lost a huge fish, but we never saw it. He said, "that fish is going to haunt me all the way home this afternoon". lol
We ended up with 10 walleye before we ran out of crawlers, and called it a day. Normally, that amount of crawlers will get me through two trips, but we fed the white species well today...ugh.
It was a beautiful day to be on the water, and we had a lot of fun, so it was a great day in my book.
Same program as yesterday...1oz 39-41 back with "Fried Chicken"/Copper Colorado blade with perch pattern beads, and double willow leaf harnesses behind #2 Tadpoles 35-50 back at 1.5mph. We fished in 25' of water both days.
Tomorrow's trip is a 6 hour perch trip with two repeat customers that went walleye fishing with me earlier this season, so I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Did I ever tell you, "I LOVE Perch fishing"?
I also get to put the new "Catch Counter" to use, and hopefully, we'll be throwing a lot of perch down the hole to test it out. Fingers crossed!
Stay tuned....
