Fishing with Dan and Marcel…4/30/2026

Slept in until 3am, and then hit the back deck with the dogs and coffee. I was going to be doing a later start this morning, due to wind speed. It was forecast out of the NW, but was to lay down a little bit around 8am, so I told Dan to meet me at Mazurik’s at 7:45.

Of course, I got there early and started getting the boat ready at 7:15. They pulled in at 7:30. It was good timing, because the forecast last night that had the wind lying down was now showing it would be staying the same most of the day, so why wait? It would be 12-15 out of the WNW most of the day.

I pointed the Vexus to the east side of Kelly’s Island and took it slow, because it was rough. We marked fish on the SE corner, but kept going to see if there were fish up further….there weren’t, or at least we weren’t marking any, so we went back down to the SE side.

We started out with the waves behind us, and set up with Bandits behind Off Shore boards, and two dipsies.

When the FishHawk hit a speed of 1.9-2.0mph, the Ulterra and the baby Merc were set. SOG showed 2.2-2.3mph.

4 Bandits ran on the port side at 120, 90, 80, and 67 back (longest leads on the outside). Colors were:
Khaki (stock color)
Green Lantern (Slim Shady Custom)
Flare (stock color)
Pink/white/black (Not sure who makes it, I can’t find it on Domka’s site or DJ’s site anymore…it looks like Pink Squirrel, but instead of black dots in the white part, there are three black stripes instead). I’m going to name it “Pink Zebra”. 🙂

The starboard side had two dipsies…one on the zero setting at 40 back and one on the three setting at 63 back. Both caught fish. One fish was on a BadMo Arrow spoon in the green/blk/silver, and then that was changed out to a Yeck spoon in the “Confustion” color…that caught a fish, too.
The 3 setting ran a Stinger spoon in the “Confusion” color, and caught a nice fish.

The Bandits on the port side were running at 97, 81, and 71 behind the OST boards…colors were:
Fruit Dots (stock color)
(2) Electric Zebra (stock color)

All caught fish, but the Electric Zebra caught the most.

Water temp on the surface was 52. 7 and at 18 feet down, it was 54 degrees.

Dan and Marcel wanted to learn how to run the Off Shore boards, so after a quick tutorial…they were setting the lines. They learned quickly, so other than reminding them about the tension button (clicker), they had no issues or tangles while setting lines. They did great, and I have no doubts that they could go out tomorrow and do the same thing on their own, successfully.

After our three limits were in the cooler, we headed in. It didn’t happen in an hour and a half, like I had been hearing for the previous few days, but we managed to do it in about 4 1/2 hours. It was a fun morning fishing with these two, and they both said they had fun and learned a lot, so mission accomplished!

Tomorrow, I have a couple from Iowa, and we’ll be launching out of Catawba to fish the protected side of the islands. The forecast is calling for a NE wind with rain….fun…fun…deep sigh.

Stay tuned….

Confusion!

I am a little confused about the walleye this year. I have been following the reports and I can’t figure the migration movement this year. Normally the reports start with fish coming to the western basin, then up the rivers for spawn. Next is reef complexes and west of the islands. Finally moving east near put in bay and around Kelly’s Island before proceeding east. Seems like this year, the majority of the bite went straight from the rivers to the east side of Kelly’s. Did I miss something or have the fish from the rivers and reefs not made it to the west side of the islands yet.

Weekend Warrior

Hello guys! (and Juls!)

Weekend Warrior Dad here just looking for a point in the right direction. Coming up for the first time this year Thursday with a buddy and we will be drifting/casting so thought I would see if we should go West to the reefs and jig or go East near Kelleys and jig/harness fish. Been seeing some stuff about E side of Kelleys being good but that could mean right off the airport or halfway to Cleveland lol :D.

Anyway, as always a general point in the right direction always helpful on the big lake!!

TIA and tight lines all!!

Crooked Hook 4/26

After leaving Wisco at Midnight, we arrived at Mazuriks around 8:30. Was greeted by ODNR so I got my sticker first thing. Thats good because that sticker helps out even in Wisco for DNR checks. Set up on west side of Kellys only getting a couple in the herd so we kept trolling into the waves north hitting pockets of biters once we got clear of everyone. Twice we could not keep any poles in the water with triples and doubles being the norm. Direction and speed didn?t seem to matter in the 4-5 foot waves we ended up in. fishing was hot! Khaki, slim shady Smokeshow shad, see sick, and party zebra all did good set 80-110 bake naked with Smokeshow being the stud. Nice size range from 19-26. Long day?.
