Had a really fun second trip with a couple cool cats and their boys from Cleveland Saturday afternoon. We had a blast laughing and singing fishing songs while we boated 30 walleye. We filleted them up and sent them home with their limit.

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.

June 21, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop
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.
