There is still some walleye to be caught over the Michigan and Ohio dumping grounds. Wiggle Warts 70 to 90 feet back and low divers set at 1 1/2 – 22 feet out seemed to be the ticket earlier in the week. A captain buddy docked near me has walleye fished eariler in the week […]
This past week the walleye bite really slowed down! There are some fish in and around the dump but the large school seemed to move out to deeper water. A captain friend found some out between McDonalds and West Sister Island but they have been hugging the bottom. We believe this has do to the […]
Despite the hotter temperatures a fair amount of walleye are sticking around North of “E” buoy to the Raisin River and along the Michigan / Ohio boarder. I’ve been fishing with wiggle warts 70 and 80 feet back. Seems like everyone I’ve talked to has a favorite wart color. Green and orange speck seem to […]
Summer is in full swing in Michigan, and with it comes great opportunity for outdoor activities – including fishing. The state’s waters provide ample opportunity to catch a variety of fish, and Great Lakes and inland fishing charter businesses are a perfect way to experience those angling adventures first-hand. Licensed fishing charters make a full […]
Walleye fishing has really picked up this past week, thanks to a steady weather pattern. Many limit catches have been taken all week from “E” buoy to the Raisin River in 22 feet of water. Wiggle warts have been good off the planner boards keeping small walleye (spikes) from biting 70 to 80 feet back […]
Walleye fishing has been good but we are still dealing with North East and East winds. Trolling between the Raisin River and Stoney Point with wiggle warts 90 back has produced some nice catchs in 22 to 24 feet of water. Trolling 40 jets around 65 feet produced walleye catchs faster than the wiggle warts […]
Once again the weather is playing a big roll in the fishing on Lake Erie in the Western Basin near Monroe, Michigan. The wind seems to switch everyday and sometimes during my trips, shutting the walleye down. Walleye fishing has been very good in the morning from 6am till about 10am. The afternoon bite has […]
The Department of Natural Resources recently announced that, effective Jan. 1, 2015, multiple changes have been made to Michigan’s Master Angler program, which allows anglers to submit large fish they have caught for recognition. The program has been in place since 1973. The Master Angler program recognizes two categories of catches: catch-and-keep and catch-and-immediate-release. Previously, […]
Jeff Tyson, head of Lake Erie fisheries management for the Ohio Division of Wildlife stated – “This year’s Western Basin perch hatch is the fourth best since we began keeping records in 1987.” With two back-to-back good perch hatches, the perch fishing should keep getting better over the next couple of years.” There were lots […]
Perch fishing has been good around Stoney Point in 25 ft of water with some really nice fish. The trick is finding them! One day you catch them, then go back to the same area and they are gone only to be found again a 1/2 mile away. Up off the Raisin River has been […]
