Mid Summer Lake Erie Walleye

? ? Lake Erie Walleye Fishing Report – BlackH2oDog Charters ? ? Some trips are about the fish, and some are about the people. Today's crew was both. Mike, brothers Bill and Rick, and their close friend Bryan have fished with me each of the last six years. Mother Nature forced us to reschedule their original trip, but today's payoff was worth the wait. We were treated to a beautiful Lake Erie sunrise and ended the day with a cooler full of walleye they'll be enjoying until we hit the water together again. The day wasn't short on excitement! We had a little case of the Lake Erie flu ?, discovered a commercial net with our entire spread deployed, and somehow managed to get every line back in without tangling in the net. Well... almost everything. One stickbait came flying into the boat and found Mike's palm. ?? Mike patiently waited while the crew cleared lines before mentioning it. Let's just say everyone got a quick hands-on lesson in hook removal! ?? While we were working our way through the net situation, we made a quick radio call to a boat directly behind us and warned them to turn hard. They avoided disaster and escaped with only a Dipsey grabbing the net. After tracking back, we located the North net marker with " flags" that looked more like streamers than proper net markers. Once back in business, the walleye cooperated nicely. We put together a steady haul of quality Lake Erie fish, although we also had our share of fish that came unbuttoned just shy of the net. Several fish and crawler rigs were lost during the net encounter, but that's all part of fishing. ? **Today's Productive Program:** ✅ Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 Boards - Berkley Fishing Deep HitStick 9s - 2 oz and 3 oz weights - 60–90 feet back ✅ Rapala J7s - 3 oz weights - 75 feet back ✅ Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co.
