Trip Summary

You've heard me preaching this over and over again, Erie is nothing to wreck-in with especially in April. Just as the jig bite was getting good mother nature decided to turn the lake upside down with 20-31 East Northeast winds. You know its pretty bad out on the lake when the Miller Ferry Line shutdown and stopped running to South Bass Island for the day. Our scheduled trips for Monday and Tuesday have been cancelled and being rescheduled due to weather. So unfortunately no fishing for us this weekend, there is a possible break in the weather for Saturday but that window is very small, time will tell.

Impulse Sport Fishing LLC, Lake Erie Fishing Charters What an Awesome trip today with repeat guests that are a blast to fish with, thanks again guys we will see you again in June ****REPORT**** Iced 40 eyes before they called it quits and decided to come in Started off jigging in the morning as that is what they came up to experience this time but that didn't pan out today. We ended up catching around 5 walleye (lost a bunch) and absolutely put the hammer to the SHEEPHEAD . Jigged in 12 FOW with a water temp of nearly 51° and had a few chasers when reeling them up off the bottom which is always awesome to see . We decided to call it quits and switch tactics and head for deeper water for a trolling bite. Now trolling was slow going and we was only picking one fish here and there and then headed away from the pack from a good tip and started catching faster. We had 4 fish on at once multiple times today with a few doubles and a triple with are biggest fish going 28" on the nose "FISHO!"BANDITS and Spro Madeye 120 minnows ruled the day with leads of 55 (the best) and 60 at 1.4 - 1.6 mph. Trolling east to west was great early on then North and South was our best direction when the wind switched out of the East/ Northeast. All colors were catching but brighter colors where a little hotter. Also pulled fish on WNC Reapers at 50 and 30 back as well as a shallow bandit 35 back 2oz then 75 back. Done until Wednesday but what a start to our season today with an absolute great crew, they pretty much did EVERYTHING I just kept them on fish and the caught them Capt.
