Happy Birthday Walleye

Trip Summary

Is there a better way to celebrate your 65th Birthday than a day on Lake Erie with your friends? That's what Greg did with friends Tom and Harry. We left West Harbor and headed in search of a new location to fish farther away. Greg enjoys the ride and being on the water. I used the same stick bait program as the last few days but the mirror like surface did have the larger stickbaits producing as well as the marks would suggest. I down sized to Spro 85 and Flicker Shad 15/15 and 20/20 with 2 oz snap weights. Then the action started and we caught and released fish until they had enough.

? 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
