The weather finally broke a little for the better this week. First tournament of the year is this Saturday. We were able to get out last couple days. The fish are getting ready for the spawning season. For us on Erie that means one thing the possibility of a true giant. The first trip didn't disappoint anchored by a true trophy 30 inch fish. Slow trolling p-10 crank baits was the key. The fishing should be incredible for the next 6 weeks

Perch is still going strong around the island area. Stickers and spreaders tipped with shinners are working. Walleyes are being caught from Cleveland west to islands. Trollingis the key right now. Stick baits and spoons are working. The catches are averaging 5 pounds. Walleyes are still moving west for the winter set. Night fishing is going on. Catching eyes based on the weather. It'll continue until ice

Fishing is pretty good, lots of big big wind, not fun lol. Water temp needs to go down a bunch for the really big fish to start chopping.

Lake Erie is on fire and the fish are are huge. The water temp is a nice balmy 34 degrees, but the fish don't care and put the feed bag on. We are fishing in tight and the fish are scattered all over the water column. Let's go fishing!

    Trip: Trophy Walleye

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time and caught our limit in walleye. Alex had the boat and fishing gear ready to go when got there and after a brief safety review we were on our way. As already mentioned, we caught our limit within a couple of hours. Then afterwards Alex directed us to where we could get our catch cleaned, which was also a big help because we were not that familiar with the area. Thanks again for a good time Alex.
