We launched at 7:30 and where setting lines east of Kelly's island along the border around 8 AM. We ran bandits back 85 to 100 blue chrome, we ran flicker minnows back 50/100 with 2 oz perch colors, we ran 40 jets with blue and white silver backed spoons and phantom dagger #7 back 80 to 100 and dipsy's set at 0 back 50. speed was 2.3 to 2.7 everything we ran caught fish. It was fish after fish with several big white bass that my customers wanted to keep and a 31" and 28" as our big fish. customers brought in their 4 man and my first mate (my son) reeled in his limit and i reeled in a couple for dinner too. I got them all filleted up and bagged for them and they had a great cooler of fish that should last into winter. Fantastic day on the lake with a happy birthday crew. We are all blessed to have such a great fishery to enjoy and things are looking great for our future walleye population. I have my second trip open for this coming Saturday if you are wanting a trip out for a cooler full of walleye give me a call 833-646-3474.

Wow Wow and Wow did we have a great trip Monday morning with a really nice couple from West Virginia. When the husband called he said they had a bad trip in the outer-banks not catching any fish. He said he just wanted his wife to be able to catch some fish. Boy did she ever, 31”, 26”, 28” some great fish. They had a blast and so did I. They said they will be back again in the fall to fish some more.

We had a very Productive trip running out of Lorain this afternoon with a father and son-in-law from Iowa. We fished in deeper water north of the dumping grounds out of Lorain, Ohio towards the Canada boarder and found a nice grade of Walleye for them. We caught over 30 walleye and sent them home with their limits for some good dinners.

July 14, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

It was as fast as you could reel them in this morning out of Lorain Ohio. We fished out towards the weather buoy in 60 foot of water and found a nice grade of fish. had a lot of fun and sent them home with their limits of walleye.

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.

June 16, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

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.

May 24, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

We fished the LEWT tournament over the weekend pulling bandits all around Marblehead lighthouse. Lots of fish in the area and we pulled a few big fish. Not enough to place but we are in the top half of the field.

May 14, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

Had a nice training trip today with some port clinton locals that have been struggling to catch fish with their boat. So we showed them some different water to explain the difference between too dirty and clean enough water. We talked about speed control and depth of bottom bouncers. We managed to catch them a 2 man limit in the process. They called me the next day to inform me they caught a 2 man limit on their own using the techniques we discussed the day prior. I'm glad I was able to help them get more fish in their boat.

May 14, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

The fishing couldn't get much better than the past 3 days. Sun shine, warm weather and active chomping fish. We caught a 3 man limit all three days by 10 am at the latest. Had a lot of fun with these guys and they have booked a week for same time next spring. Can't wait to fish with them again.

May 12, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

What a morning.. we got a three man limit in an hour and a half. The fish where chomping this morning. Gold and orange bandits and crawler harness on bottom bouncer 1.5 to 2.2 mph 70 to 90 back did the work. what a blast it is to catch fish like that. Hope to duplicate tomorrow.

May 10, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

Started a 6 day charter with a 2 man crew from Wisconsin today and it went well we pulled a three man limit north of kelly's island on bandits in some big waves. gold and chrome 1.7 to 2.2 mph did the job. My afternoon trip started late and we started fishing at 4 and called it at 7 pm. we pulled them 18 walleye in 3 hours of fishing. had to move west of south bass to fish as the waves kept building. Both cool crews with nice fish.

May 09, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

We started out morning trip at 8 am today and headed north out of mazurik. We found some good marks and set lines and started catching fish at a steady pace. We trolled with Bandits 1.5 to 1.7 gold and chrome. We ended up with 16 and it got a little bumpy and they decided to call it a day. Nice trip with some great guys.

May 07, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

We had a good few days fishing with some great guys from Wisconsin. We had to fight the waves and the wind but we made it happen and got a wall hanger for Doug. 9.5 lbs 30". We had a wall hanger hooked and 5 feet from the back of the boat for Gary but she came unbuttoned, almost took a bandit to the face. Limits of fish for them to take home as well. We really caught some great fish. Up high in the water column and all on bandits 1.5 to 2 mph chrome and gold with any other color on it did the job. Back at it Friday morning every day straight for a week.

We showed him several techniques to use thru-ought the seasons and managed to boat some nice walleye at the same time. All fish came on bandits 30 to 35 feet down north of kelly's island. 

April 12, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

We had a great day fishing on Lake Erie today. We went searching for big fish and had to find clean water after the big blow. We ended up north of Kelly's Island and we found some nice fish. We caught them on perfect 10 pink lemonade and chrome blue bandits 15 to 25 feet down over 45 feet of water. It was a bumpy ride out there today not a lot of action the fishing was slow. there are tons of marks so our future looks great just need some nice weather.

April 06, 2019 by Captain Pork Chop

Fished with a few customers on Friday 4/5 and it was rough in the morning and very muddy from the big blow that came thru Thursday night. took some time but we found some fish trolling north of Kelly's and the finished the day jigging on the reefs in front of oak harbor. they finished with their two man limit.

Saturday I fished with a friend and we where looking for big fish. the biggest we could find was 7.5 lbs but we had a nice day on the lake and he took home a limit.

Sunday was a trip with a crew of 5 and they wanted to fish for big walleye. we trolled north of the reef complex in front of oak harbor and we trolled up some very nice walleye. a 10lb, 2 - 9lb, 2 - 8lb and a basket full of smaller fish but all where solid nice fish. We trolled 1.3 mph and any color worked as long as it was blue. The fish wanted blue and husky jerks worked the best. Bandits where second favorite. great day on Lake Erie.

We met at Mazuriks at 8 am and headed out around 8:30. we went into shallower water this morning because the wind blew out of the north all night and i marked a lot of fish at 35' to 38' the day prior and i thought maybe it would clean up that water a little and we could catch them. I was wrong.. dang it.. and it was still too muddy, we trolled there for about 2 hours and caught one really nice fish on the bottom.

We moved back north and trolled south with the wind and picked up 2 over the dumping ground. Then the wind changed to out of the west and slowed a bit and we followed that mud line again west to east slow slow and slow. The temp dropped 10 degrees from the day prior and slowed the fishing way down, the bite was not nearly as good as saturday.

We kept working and ended up with a nice 29.5" fish ohio and about a 3 man limit. took some moving around and keeping after it for that. same program as saturday worked but we used more perfect 10's since the cold moved in and that seemed to help. the fish wanted everything slow. 

most fish caught over 40' to 47' of water 20' to 30' deep perfect 10's 20/20 and 20/30 caught most of them.

it was a nice day after lunch and i had a nice time making some new friend and sharing fish stories. Today may be the last fishable weekend for a while but it was very enjoyable to get the boat out and suck up some sun. Hope for more weather like this soon. 

See you all on the lake.. tight lines..

January 05, 2019 by Capt Pork Chop

We met at mazuriks at 8:30 and launched about 9 am. headed out to about 40' of water between kellys and marblehead and started marking fish just north of the muddy water. had a quick training on how to set lines with snap weights and boards and we started fishing.

We ran perfect 10's at 20/20 and 30/30 with 2 oz then some husky jerks and some bandits deeper and out the back with stern planers. i run the stern planers because the boat pushes the fish deeper and the stern planers run them right into the fish after we cross over them. we caught about 6 fish on those today. we covered the water column from 15' to 30' deep catching fish on all lines at every depth any bright color seemed to work nothing stood out.

we ran straight east out to about 47' of water and caught fish consistantly the whole way. The wind died down around noon to 2 and the fishing died off. the wind picked back up at 2 and we started catching them again. we didn't even need a trolling motor most of today, we drifted along with the wind between .8 and 1.2 and steered with the main in the water, great for gas mileage.

We ended up with 3 fish ohio's a 4 man limit and 3 for the captain. The michigan crew had the best day walleye fishing they have ever had. it was an amazing day on the lake for January hope for more soon.

We made it out on saginaw bay sunday after the big blos on saturday. we had a crew of 5. it took a while to find the fish as they where scattered all over from the blow. we ended up with 29 keepers a few 22" and we threw back several 12" and 13" fish. ended up a good day we pulled spinner harnesses on or near the bottom 1.2 to 1.5 MPH to get the fish in 24' of water. 

May 18, 2018 by Captain Sam
