Had a nice trip out of Huron yesterday morning before the rain. We went straight out just east of the dump in 42 foot of water. There where very large globs of hatching mayfly in the water about 10 to 15 feet down. The walleye where mixed in with them and very difficult to mark on your graph. So we drifted and cast weapons rigs with purple and black beads with hammered brass blades. We only needed a ten count as the fish where very shallow. Sometimes we would set the bail and start a slow retrieve right away. Most fish hit on the swing. For those of you that have never heard of the swing, when you cast you should cast up wind or cross wind and let the drift take the rig back or away from you, as the drift turns the direction of the rig from sliding with the drift to against the drift this is called the swing. your line should be in a curved transition in the water. I rig my rods with high vis yellow braid so i can actually see the swing in the water. At one point the wind flat stopped so i had to start the trolling motor to create the drift. We caught around 40 walleye in 3.5 hours of fishing and kept our 18 fish with a bonus perch. Great day on the lake. I have 7/6 - 7/7 and 7/13 - 7/14 open if anyone wants to get out give me a call 833-646-3474.

Had a great trip with a father and daughter from Columbus today. They where very hands on and wanted to do some drifting and casting. We drifted the dump and cast weapons rigs with 3/4 oz weights and caught them one after the other. We caught around 50 walleye today and they took home a their limits. We trolled after the wind died and used Phantom Dagger 7's and double blade harnesses and they worked great. I hope to have this crew back some time they where a lot of fun.

Had a great trip today with 3 generations. We boated a four man limit in 2 hours fishing in Lorain. We used phantom Dagger 7's and spoon harnesses and the fishing was fantastic. Lots of fun and we beat the rain.

We had a great time participating in the LEWT championship in Huron Ohio over the weekend. We pre-fished Thursday and found some nice fish. we couldn't get them going on Friday then Saturday was a blow day. Sunday we got on them again and pulled a nice bag. We finished 18th out of 60. We learned a lot about how to target big walleye and are looking forward to fishing the series again next year. We pulled bandits and phantom dagger 7's which work very well we fished shallow water for our fish.

We had a blast on the lake today catching a 7 man limit with several double and triple catches. We pulled bandits on the north side of Kelly's island 75 to 90 back did the work caught a few on bottom bouncers. 1.5 to 2.0 was the speed lots of S turns helped. the two 14 year old's on the boat had a blast they reeled till their arms hurt.
