It's been blowing like hell for about a week now........... I can't imagine any new reports would be coming in. And the worse news is that the forecast doesn't have fishable conditions through the weekend and into next week.

Thanks for the report!

Warrior flutter spoons...... in perch and gobie ...... they have always treated me well.

There are so many fish out there, it's the lures that don't have a chance!

Walleyes, Steelhead, and Lake Trout...... all on a 9 color lead core with a bomber shallow stick. We did manage a 2 person limit of walleyes today with 3 steelhead and a 14 lb laker. Great weather and fishing, but today it was important to stay above the cold water.

Hey Cisco............ T = tablespoon t = teaspoon and I'm sure there are plenty of good adders/experiments out there to try......... basil? oregano?

My favorite is 3 T Olive Oil 2 T Soy Sauce 3 T Brown Mustard 2 minced garlic cloves black pepper to taste Whisk all together, and reserve some for drizzling over the cooked fish..... Marinate the fish in the mixture for at least 3 hours then grill turning 1x. Great for Walleye or Salmon.

12 fish out of the Catt today in 80 FOW +. Literally everything took fish ..... sticks off a 7 and 9 colors, spoons off divers, and harnesses off the riggers....... very nice day and great fishing. one 26" fish, and the rest were the the '13 and '14 year class fish........

that is NOT an atlantic. We took a 2 man limit of walleye out of SP yesterday. 5 and 7 color cores off the boards, and riggers did most of the damage....... 50 - 65 fow. Depth didn't seem to matter much. We also took a steelhead on a spoon behind a wire diver.......Mostly harnesses, and sticks. very nice day.

We put in a pretty long day yesterday to box 11 fish out of sp. good fishing, but not great. 5 and 7 color cores with stickbaits worked early, and once the S wind died it got tougher and the bite was pretty much all harnesses. mostly cores and riggers..... 55 to 65 fow.

Beautiful! The tail looks sort of like a "fantail"........... or am I imagining that? Dorsal and Anal fins have that look too.......

I'm thinking he meant Belwood Eh?

hot weather = rising water temp + Ohio fish. It might take a few days, but you'll be "on fire" soon.......

If I launch from Hanover Town Launch at 6, and load at 2, is it really a problem?

Fished Monday with a buddy and we took 35 perch, and 9 walleye pretty much straight out front of the Catt..... 4 and 5 color lead core with silver/blue, silver black sticks did the most damage, and harnesses took a couple. We fished deep, 80+ fow.

I always fish wire divers set on 2.5 or 3. Then let them out slowley until they hit the bottom, and reel them back in 10 feet if fish are on the bottom. If you are marking fish up off the bottom, reel them in a littlel more. They run deeper or shallower depending on speed and current, so distance out isn't the same unless the situation is identical, and it rarely is from day to day. Don't be afraid to make your leader from the diver to the lure longer, rather than shorter....... we often handline the fish to the net. With fish on the small side, it's not difficult.
