Walleye 101

? Afternoon Report – Lake Erie Walleye? Erin, Andrew, and Nick joined us for their first Lake Erie walleye experience, and it was a great way to spend the afternoon on the water. Headed back to the East of KI and put the Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 boards and Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50 to work. We pulled Bandits and Reef Runner 900s running 30/30, with speed dialed in at 2.1 mph. The bite cooperated nicely, and the crew was eager to learn and soak up every detail. Perfect weather, solid fish, and a group ready to get after it—exactly what Lake Erie is all about! ? #BlackH2oDog #BlackH2oDogCharters #LakeErieFishing #WalleyeFishing #LakeErieWalleye #AfternoonBite #FirstErieWalleye #TrollingLife #WalleyeNation #CharterLife

? **First Trip of the Year in the Books!** ? Kicked off the season with an awesome crew from **Northern Indiana and Michigan** — and let me tell you, these guys *never* stopped cutting on each other… I got my fair share too ? We worked **west of the Bass Islands** and put together a **nice grade of fish**, even though it was a bit of a **slow pick**. Grinding pays off! ? **What Worked:** ✅ **Bandits** – 20-35 back ✅ **Top 20s** – 40 back ✅ **Jointed Rebel Fast Trak** on the Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. ** TruTrip 50** – 26 back ? Best colors were **Purple**, **RC Crush**, and **Kakhi** ? Speed sweet spot was **1.7 mph** I was really impressed with the Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 Planner boards, running six per side with zero issues. Clean pulls, great bite detection, and they handled the spread exactly as one would expect. Great crew, great laughs, and a solid start to the season. Let’s keep it rolling! #BlackH2oDog #BlackH2oDogCharters #LakeErieFishing #BassIslands #WalleyeFishing #SlowPickStillCounts #EarlySeasonBite #OhioFishing #GreatLakesFishing #OffshoreTackle #TrollingFishing #FishingGear #AnglersLife #TrollingForWalleye #CharterLife

Ron wanted his son Patrick to have an opportunity for some Lake Erie Walleye. They headed East from Indiana to join me in Cleveland. We fished North of 72nd street. We had almost non-stop action with Reef Runner Tackle Company 900s behind Off Shore Tackle Company inline planner boards. Bandits did their share of the work as well. All stock colors today with the exception of the BlackH2oDog custom. Dipsey 3 setting with Rapala J7s. Ripplin Redfins 30 back on Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s. This crew tossed back fish for several hours after our limits and they learned to use Offshore Tackle planner boards. Best leads were 25 to 40 at 2.3 to 2.5 mph. #BlackH2oDog #charterfishing #fishingbooker #FallBrawl #walleyeslam #brawlboardmeeting #Cleveland #offshoretackle
