Good afternoon All. Anyone know if the stations are open at Mazuriks and Huron yet? Hoping for my first trip out being a long Easter weekend. Thanks in advance.

I took my son and one of his buddies out this afternoon for a little chilly fishing. We started at locust reef and picked up 3 in about an hour but it was too slow to stay. We moved further north about a mile and started slowly picking away at them. We spent another two hours there and ended up with about a dozen nice fish. We were jigging with dark colors in 5/8 or 3/4 ounce hair jigs. The wind was perfect when we first got out there around 3:00 but it laid down a little as the afternoon went on. The only thing missing was the sun. Water color was better the further out we went.

I see the head boats (I think that is what it is called?) went out yesterday and came in with a 9 person limit on one and two shy on the other one. I am heading to Oak Harbor tomorrow for a few days, hope to get a limit for my grandson

My son and I put the boat in this morning. After getting the fenders and lines in place, we went out to do some preseason scouting. The water in shallow was a little dirty so we ran out. The water cleared up before we got to locust reef so we used the sonar to look around some. There were 3 boats fishing about a quarter mile south of the reef but as we rode through there slowly, we didn’t mark many fish. Continued to the west side of the reef and started marking fish. We made a short drift there picking up one. Moved to the north side of the reef and drifted back along the west edge of the reef and picked up 5 more in about an hour and headed in to enjoy a good meal and warm up

Ok, I have put my boat at the docks as early as March 15 , and was not able to fish for 30 days due to weather , mostly, high winds , and some honey do lists, anyway I think, this April 15th , or after that will be the best time to get the Water Dog to the dock.

Getting all the rods and tackle in shape,
Hope you can do the same,
be safe,
back soon,
Water Dog

I made the trip out of Cawtaba on Friday 3/14 before the winds came into town. First trip of the year for me…. we started out trolling around Rattlesnake in the morning. Saw a few chunks of ice floating around off of Green where we made sure to keep an eye out for. We marked plenty of fish but no bites in that area. We even tried to vertical jig for a little bit to no avail. Around noon we made a move to the area I would say is roughly West of F and South of D can where we found some fish. Nothing too fast but we ended up with 9 of our 12 fish we were looking for. We slow trolled bandits 65′ back where we caught a majority of the fish. Ended the day at 4:00… with hope of coming back soon.
