Grandson's First Day on Lake Erie

?? Huge thank you to Scott and Randy for joining me aboard BlackH2oDog Charters ! These longtime friends made the trip all the way from Illinois to cross Lake Erie walleye fishing off their bucket list—and I’m glad they did. After yesterday’s 25 mph winds stirred up the western basin, we made the call to push well east. It paid off. We found a solid group of fish and got to work dialing in the program. We ran: - Small crankbaits o. The Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 inlineplannerboards with Reef Runner Tackle Company Deep Little Rippers - 40 back unassisted, 80–100 back with 2 oz - Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s with Spoons and J-7s (50 back) - Dipsys on a 3 setting, 55 back with spoons Speed control was key: - Into the NE wind: **1.5–1.8 mph** - With the wind: **~1.9 mph The bite didn’t start on fire, but once we figured them out, it was game on. We worked our way to a solid box and a great day on the water—lots of laughs and a crew that made it a blast. Only hiccup of the day… I somehow missed Scott pulling out a banana ?‍♂️?. Who does that?! Luckily, once the banana was gone, so was the bad luck—the monkey was officially off our backs! Awesome time with a great group. Looking forward to getting you guys back out again soon! #BlackH2oDogCharters #BlackH2oDog #LakeErieWalleye #WalleyeFishing #FishingCharter #LimitOut #GreatLakesFishing #BoatLife #FishingLife #OhioFishing #WalleyeNation #TrollingForWalleye #CharterFishing #BucketListFishing #MidwestFishing

? Another Great Day on Lake Erie! ? Morgan arranged a Lake Erie walleye charter as a birthday gift for Tristen—what a way to celebrate! Originally scheduled for Saturday but moved to Sunday due to the big two-day wind event. A big blow can put the fish in a negative mode. The 1st Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 inline planner boards started going back as the 3rd rod was going out. Deep Hitstick 9s were the hot stickbaits We ran those 30/30 to 30/70 with 2oz. On the Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s and one of the Dipseys we ran we ran silverback BADMO LURES Arrowhead spoons. TruTrip 50 and a Dipsey were both set 40 back. On the other Dipsey Rapala J9 43 back. Speed was 2.1 to 2.2.mph all directions. Happy Birthday, Tristan, and thanks again Morgan for setting it up! If you’re thinking about getting out, now is the time—summer patterns are shaping up and the fishing is only getting better. ?
