  1. Sounds like a King buffet Dr Weidel! I love good news.
  2. One of the guys kept a couple but didn’t check stomach. They were pooping so they were eating. There is some bait at the mouth and a little near where we were fishing. Birds working also.
  3. They were in typical gear wrecking spring mode!
  4. Found some kings to play with on top of the drop. Spoon bite. The fish look great this year. Biggest was 17 lbs on Boga Scale
  5. I use the Olcott Buoy data before I leave the house. I look at the hourly forecast on Weather.com for the port am fishing. It there is any sort of front moving up East of the lake, expect windier than predicted NE winds on the water.
  6. Spawning pattern and location right now. The areas of fish concentrations are the Detroit and Maumee Rivers plus the Bass Islands. Fish slide East post spawn. Lots of guides out of Port Clinton to help you.

  9. The trophy picture would be to be holding a king with the eclipse happening in the background.
  10. Reports from last year can help you learn for this April.
  11. Found this link. Helpful hints inside.
  12. We ended mid afternoon one shy of a three man limit. Instead of pounding GPS marks today, we did a little exploring of some of the structure around the islands hoping to learn more about this area that is new to us. Today’s catch was a better class of fish. Probably better we didn’t get the last fish because it pushed us into new water plus we couldn’t close the lid on the cooler with what we had. The program all weekend was seven board lines with scatter rap taildancers or deep bandits plus two slide divers with northport nailer wild thing spoons tipped with crawlers. Board lines were either run clean or snap weighted with 1-2ozs of weight. That will do it for walleye until this summer for this salmon fisherman. Back to Lake Ontario for now!
  13. 8 fish in and wind switched hard out of East. Singing the East wind blues now.
  14. Day 2 bite is steady! Good overcast walleye bite. Meat spoon has just answered the bell on slide diver
  15. Noteworthy that 50% of the fish we cleaned had spawned already. If you want to get in the the big fish action, you better come soon. We were fishing with a large group of boats north of Bass Islands near Canadian border.
  16. We got our three man limit with three throw backs and a few lost fish. It was a seven hour grind however. With 100 boats around, they got a little goofy at times until we figured them out.
  17. Setting up and two pigs hit
  18. Try slip bobber and nightcrawler
  19. Warm winter means trickle spawn. They will be 75% finished by April 1st opener
