Fishing offshore has been nothing short of incredible. Fast limits and big fat fish are plentiful. Dipseys with spoons fishing 45 feet down is about as fast as you can get the rods set. I had a trip 2 days ago casting worm harnesses in 74 feet of water. It was really fun setting the hook on them 50 feet down. We are fishing from Fairport Harbor to Ashtabula.

Lake St-Clair is currently fishing the best it has all summer. Smallmouth are firmly in their summer water and easy to catch in the shorter 6-10" sand grass that covers the vast majority of the middle of the lake. Tubes, drop shot minis style baits and Ned rigs type baits are all working well and moving baits like swimbaits, crankbaits and jerkbaits have been good when the wind blows.

A heart-felt thank you to Capt. Mark Spencer of Big Kats Fishing Adventures for running my catfish trip today.
First time customer Joshua Akers wanted to bring his sons to do some catfish reeling, yeah…they did a lot of that! Capt. Mark said the Family was great to have on the boat!
The Sandusky Bay yielded a solid bounty of cats for the Akers Family.

Fishing is incredible from Lorain to Geneva right now. We've been running dipseys with spoons and wire to catch our limits. Quick limits every trip. We've also had some steelhead mixed in with the walleye

Smallmouth bass season is now in full swing on Lake St Clair. Fish are making the move from the spawning grounds to offshore and can be caught in the medium and deep depth range, and there are still some stragglers up shallow that can be targeted. Ned rig type presentation seem to be getting the most bites, particularly when able to be Fished deep on lightweights, but you need favourable wind conditions to be able to do that effectively. The spybait and jighead minnow has also been extremely productive. On windy days we're catching our fish cranking deeper running crankbaits...

Had a great time. Really knows his stuff - even on what he called a slow day he was able to put us on the fish. Very personable and patient. I would definitely use him again!
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.
