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!
