Trip Summary

?? 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

Christmas Walleye
Christmas Walleye

? Christmas Charter Recap – BlackH2oDog Charters ? For Christmas, Betty gave an awesome gift—booking a two-day charter for her husband Ralph and their buddy Jeff. After a 6-hour wind delay, we finally got the green light and left West Harbor, heading east of the islands. It didn’t take long to get things rolling… A BADMO LURES Arrowhead Spoon went back on a #3 Dipsey 42 back and was instantly firing as it was set in the rod holder! As I was attaching the first Off Shore Tackle Company OR-12 planer board it was clear the attachung a board.was not necessary as it had a Walleye. At the same time, another dipsey rod buried with a solid eater-sized. Walleye on a Berkley Fishing Deep Hitstick 9 at 32/32 back. From there, it was controlled chaos—in the best way possible. It took a little work, but we got all three boards per side dialed in just as we were wrapping up our first ticket. **Program that produced:** - Boards: 30/30 and 35/35 on one side, 40/40 on the other - Corners: Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s pulling fish at 33 and 38 back I was so busy netting fish, resetting lines, and keeping the crew rolling that I unfortunately missed snapping action shots—but trust me… it was nonstop! We had their fish, on the downhill and troughed Southward to finish mine and nine more as we put the gear away. Great first day with this Cincinnati crew—looking forward to getting back after them on Day 2 ?? #BlackH2oDogCharters #WalleyeFishing #LakeErie #ChristmasGift #FishingTrip #OffshoreTackle #BerkleyFishing #BADMOLures
