Trip Summary

Photo recap of The Ohio State University Lake Erie Sport Fishing class. My two students had full hands on experience catching Walleye and and several other species using the various methods BlackH2oDog Charters uses on Lake Erie. By the end of our time together they were setting and removing Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards using their full variety of clips and releases. They also learned about the divers we use like the Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 40s and 50s. Including how to set and read the 40s on inline planner boards and the 50s on corner downloads. Dispsey Diver set as a high diver on a 3 setting outside of the TT 50s. Baits, BADMO LURES Arrowhead spoons, crawler harnesses with Arrowhead spinners 3.5 size. Rapala J7s, and Reef Runner Tackle Company Deep Lil Rippers. We ran the Lil Rippers with Offshore 2oz Guppy Snap weights 20/20 and 50/65. Speed was 1.9 to 2.1 mph So busy getting action shots, I have no pics of the Walleye limits we caught together. After our time on the water the had an afternoon of filleting their catch. I look forward to passing on our Great Lakes resource to future students. #OSU #ohioseagrant #lakeeriewalleye #lakeeriesportfishing #BlackH2oDog

? 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
