Sweet baby rays on top

I use half pieces of thin sliced bacon....

Sweet...that's an 05 btw...glad it sold...

Nice work bud! Its nice to see you killing it...you work hard at it. Guy staying in the cabin you were in did a 38 from shore right in front of the cabin. All the big fish im hearing of are coming on bait unfortunately...I havent targeted them in a while other than at night a little.

Something is wrong with the pic...that's a trout...did someone photoshop that over a walleye pic? Seriously though that's a very nice bow!

Plenty of boats out last night so I didn't leave the dock till midnite...it was awesome to see that many guys fishing and I didn't see tons of lights or anyone getting crowded...and I had lots of room and didn't get skunked! Even though I was on a pile of walleye i never did find THE trigger. I know I was having one of those nights where I just wasn't fishing well myself. Wayne did his part even fishing behind his son and I. We to actually could see the fish without lights and I knew that meant they saw us too...chop got nice late but it was getting light. Travis managed a 7 lb lmb late that made his night. Happy to have feeding fish again. Tonight is my night off...back Monday.

Yes you were but we have both been there before....hard for both of us to get our butts kicked when we divide n conquer...just glad it was your night for the short straw! Lol

And no I'm not giving out my old spots....lol...just like times change...they can change back someday

Kevin as always spot on! Make a logical methodical plan and stick to it...and find fresh water...you'll know when you found em...and along the way you will learn this bite. Everyone thinks there are magic places that if you knew one you'd go there year after year and pound them...not here...my best spot any year has never been my best spot another year. Things change....anybody want my 2012 honey hole? Caught exactly 1 fish there since...and believe me I check it every week at least once. As Esox posted less time trying to figure out what's wrong with the lake and who is to blame and more time actually fishing for em...as fishermen it should be fun to earn ol' marble eye...

You and I were close the other night....not close enough tho

Well me and my big mouth said 2 weeks ago that it was getting good and if anyone wanted to catch it when it was decent and no weeds it was time...Boy I was wrong at least the way I do it! Immediatly after that post and hermits trip here surface temperatures rocketed up 13 degrees in less than 48 hours...I couldn't by a fish for 2 weeks in every hot spot I know where there are no shore guys. Last night temps were finally back in low 60s and I said no excuses and took the best 2 fishermen I know...Kevin you were on your boat!....out not to return without fish. At after 3 am the tenth time I dropped the trolling motor I found em...a spot a did well in 2013. It was lights out hooking 9 landing 6 and missing a couple in an hour. It starting getting light and over. Suspending lures only in 7-8 fow along the outside weedline with pauses was key. I hadn't fished there in years at night but you have to keep moving till you find fish and when you do it wasn't a finicky bite at all! Do not keep fishing water and waiting for luck....gotta go to them. That's my post....I'm not gonna spoon feed it...but it was a pick anybist would call good fishing...fish were 4-7 lbs

Skip the trolling gear and cast... use your trolling motor and your ears...there are fish just starting to move back up after the dramatic warm up. Weeds aren't bad casting yet at all. Not that trolling can't work if you scout a section to work in daylight.... Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Another quality fish! Nice work...I'll be around this weekend and I'll get you going on those tigers...

In summer it's much tougher though the lures you used work then you need to cover lots more water. This time of year if you figure an area out you can stay there until the bite moves. Did you cast sticks in tight after trolling?

Nice work!! It's almost prime... We are catching every night.

I figured as much...I prefer the true top water action later, but it's easier

There were some very fishable tides at the canal last few days.. Might still be...Had many very memorable times on that end of the canal at dawn with pencil poppers! Been thinking bout loading fishing bikes as soon as I saw your post. Too busy with walleye trips but that's what memories are for...enjoy Kevin you are living the dream!

Anyone interested in a nighttime casting trip with me or on your own should get on it....the window for good fishing WITHOUT battling weeds doesn't last long. Trips are 5 hours and $150.
