[HybridHunter]

The weather leading up to the weekend and the weekends weather is looking like tiger weather! Could use a little more wind, but I'll take it! Look forward to seeing everyone.

After the wind out there yesterday and today I will be looking forward to a "calmer" day.....can't wait to get back out there!

definitely sounds like there is going to be a great turnout this year, looking forward to getting out with everyone!

What place and time is everyone gathering? Otisco lake campground?

[HybridHunter]

If it's the same time as last year, I believe you can sign up starting at 630am and start fishing at 7am. I don't remember what time we got of the water. It was 3 or 4pm. We met and had a cook out at the pavilion at the campground.

I had a baseball game scheduled for today so I couldn't make it out on the lake. Drove past though and saw a lot of boats, so I'm excited to hear the results! Good luck to everyone, make sure you all share your results as I'm itching to get out on Otisco in my boat.

Only three fish caught out of 16 boats. 36, 33, and 30. Very tough day.

We weren't in the tournament but we fished yesterday. Fishing for us was very slow. No tigers and only some small bass.

[Haffs09]

We raised a bunch of fish in the afternoon, but only managed a 21". The fish behaved very weird. Had a few follow in the baits and open their mouths slightly, almost like tasting the water behind the baits. We observed one roll on its side under the bait to get a better look at it. Kind of reminded me of a dolphin. All fish were very lethargic.

I had 11 follows and caught 1 bass. I went out this morning and it was even worse, couldn't even buy a follow.....

[HybridHunter]

Same for us this morning. We planned on fishing all day but said screw it. Going to hit another lake on the way home. Only managed one small mouth this morning

The fishing everywhere has been slow this past weekend,bass on Lake Erie are behind schedule for moving shallow to spawn.I believe most walleye are just now spawning,so what eyes being caught are smaller males.The cooler start of spring has setback everything this year.I hope the inland muskie season starting this weekend I s on!

[HybridHunter]

This week's weather looks promising for the weekend!

man what a tough day on the water! saw lots of fish some really nice ones too that came up nose-to-ass on our baits but like everyone else noticed the fish were very sluggish. It certainly didn't help our morale to see guys with shiners put some nice fish in the net 20 yards from us all day! Congrats to you guys on capitalizing on a tough bite!

i caught one small one with big boga damage. The poor thing's lower jaw was wrecked and had no big teeth.[emoji22]we did witness something cool. Fishing about 20 feet off a shale cliff we heard a commotion at the shoreline and some splashing. Two tigers were chasing a meal. A couple sunnies and a foot long brown swam up on shore to avoid being eaten. We chased off the tigers with our baits and after about 10 seconds the fish flopped back in and swam off close to shore. good time.

[old man]

stuck a bunch of these guys,though.[emoji12]
