I’m looking to get a setup of trolling rods. Any particular rod/brand recommendations? I would be planning on using them for both dipsey’s and boards.

Launched by myself out of Mazurik’s yesterday morning before the sun came up. There were three other boats heading out, who all went west, but I went east because I got into some good fish recently near the CP dump. The water was glass, and it was misty with no sign of the sun making an appearance through the clouds. I didn’t see much near the dump, so I went SE where I had some waypoints saved. It didn’t take too long before the graph was showing good marks so I stopped and went to deploy the Ulterra. Lately it’s been refusing to start, with the annoying single beep and light flash. Never fails on the trailer but is moody on the water. I decided not to deal with it and used the kicker by itself. The water was so calm and there was zero wind so it was pretty easy to control the boat. I put out bandits on offshore boards, managed to keep my speed 1.6-2.0 and had a limit in less than two hours. During that time I also lost THREE at the boat, and one was huge. Fish story, I know, but I did land one that was 8# and the shoulders on the one that decided to not go into the net were remarkably broader. Anyway, Bandits with white body and red head were irresistible. Twice I was letting them out and as soon as it got to 75′ (unassisted), I went to put the board on and realized they already had a fish on. I was marking fish between 15-30′ down, in 36 FOW, and the biggest ones came at 75 back, unassisted, farthest from the boat. Watching two flags go down as I am reeling in a big fish is a rush that I hope I never develop a tolerance to.

Thanks to all of you on these forums who share your experiences and wealth of knowledge with those of us who are just getting started. Heck, are fortunate enough to have charter boat Captains (Juls!:)) on here who basically share their recipes with us for…free. I hate to think that the one a-hole, who had the nerve to demand more details than were given in a post, chased off Capt Pork Chop for good.

JohnN invited me to fish with him out of Huron public launch this morning. The north dock has been removed, the south dock is still in. I had my box of lures to pick out on the port side, while John had his to pick out and choose depths on the starboard side.

We fished mostly Bandits in 30 – 36 f.o.w., from 55 – 80 back, @ 1.5 m.p.h. As the bite slowed, we made a few turns, changed a few colors and ran them a little further back or added 2 oz. weights, then decided to change course to mark more fish. Finished before noon with a dozen nice size walleye, Each of us had an Orange Crush working well the latter part of the morning, as we exchanged lot of ideas and tactics to make this a memorable outing for 2 followers of W.L.E. Fishing Reports.

Last year a couple of friends invited me to go out ice fishing with them up north. I was like not even interested until they told me it was a heated shack and the ride out was in a heated 4×4 and then I was like ok. I was still hesitant but I am glad I went it was a great time. We fished for white fish and everyone up there said they were better than walleye and after trying them I would have to disagree, but to each is there own. I was wondering if they have ice fished on Lake Erie in the western basin and if the ice gets thick enough for heated shacks? I was thinking it would be nice to take my friends out for some walleye

I found this today on the south Shore of Johnson’s Island. I’m guessing it came from the Sandusky River. Perhaps someone familiar with the area west of Sandusky Bay has an idea where the beaver could be that worked this stick?

Good morning,
I just wanted to post this here to say, “Thank You!” to all my customers who fished with me this past season.

If you have 5 minutes to waste, and want to watch a video recap, (ignore the silly music just turn it down, because I wasn’t going to pay for copywrited “good music”…lol)..give it a look. It’s definitely not professionally done, but it reminds me of all the fun I was lucky enough to experience with some great folks over the 2022 season.
