Darci and her group of three came in from Michigan to fish the islands area. They all handled the waves well except for maybe one not so well. The winds were ripping from the north around 20mph making for a rough way to go. The first pass downwind on the west side yeiled 1. Made a move to the east side and boated 8 more before deciding to cut the trip short and head in. They were more than happy to have pulled the nine fish. 65bk on smithwick top 20's and hitsticks.

Was glad to have Lisa and Joe from Missouri onboard for the last two days. Day 1 didn't set well going into the 5 footers that were rolling out there, but we did manage a few absolute slobs for the one pass made. Day two was still a bit bumpy but nothing like day1. We filled the livewell full of fish ranging in size 20" to 30.5". Multiple fish O's!!!! And a ton of memories left the Great Lake Erie again!! Bandits 50 -60bk. Flashy. The winds have been dominating the big lake so far this year. Its tough battling those waves, but as long as we're on good numbers of fish, the bite is still strong. These walleye bite just as good when its rough out as they do when its calm. Its just plain tough on the anglers out there battling big waves but it does pay off most of the time.

Thanks to my most recent customers Angela and her family for driving in from indiana to chase these walleye. We had another awesome afternoon pulling these fish into the boat. This was their first time fishing lake erie and althought it was a little bumpy they had no problems and had a great time! Biggest was 9lb and alot of 5-7's. We had to pack it up and head in because of severe weather moving through. It's been absolutely awsome fishing for these above average walleye. It seems to be the best size average ive seen in over 20 years. Multiple double digit fish and a boat load of 6-9 lbr's. The weather has been a major factor in being able to boat these fish. One day, it'll be blowing too hard and then perfect the next, sortave like riding a roller coaster up and down. The big girls are laying their eggs, and within a week or so, they'll be postspawners on the move to deeper waters. It won't be long and we'll be springing into the summer patterns.
