Dad absolutely slayed the bass on Wednesday with a white fluke. He caught 14 off one point. We ran a few jugs thursday and did very well for a day time trip. Can't wait to try this spot at night. I love a big stack of channel cat fillets.
Nice feesh. Nate and I are gonna hit Indian Lake up tomorrow. If the cats are biting, I may keep some
Got out for a late afternoon scouting mission last night. Mission accomplished.
Nate and I captured a couple limits of Pickerel yesterday at Indian Lake. Probably caught another 15-20 that were just shy of 15" minimum and two dozen cigar sized saugeye. Landed a 24" flathead, around 8 channel cats, and nate got a fish Ohio white bass

I’ve been running late at everything this year, just been busy. Got out today for a couple hours to knock the dust off the bow.
Proud dad moment. My son's first fishing experience. He caught several on his new Lightning McQueen pole. Size 10 circle hooks are the greatest thing ever for taking a young kid fishing.
Wet a line a little while ago,nothing big but lots of fun,ended up catching 8.

Another great day on Indian Lake. 11 keeper saugeye, ten crappie and six big white bass for the smoker
What sorta program ya run for the saugs at Indian ? Erie weather keeps being a bitch and I haven't went much this spring . Been debating about trying Mosquito for eyes/crappie or Indian for saug/crappie . Both are a decent drive from me .
Trolling 5cm flicker shad 2.7 - 3mph @ 55' back to start with. I have a few general areas I hit first thing. As soon as I get a keeper, mark that spot and pound it. I dont stray more than 100 yards from it, usually running a paperclip pattern around it. If it dries up, hit other areas and repeat. Then return to those productive spots later. You can run boards out there successfully, but it gets kinda tight when guys see you netting. And its generally 6-7 fow wherever you run, so your baits are hitting bottom, and do get snagged up occasionally, therefore i run 30lb powerpro to my locksnaps, no mono. When I get snagged up, throw motor in neutral, real everything up, and get right above it and 99% of the time it pops free. I run 8.5 foot ML Denali Myriads out the sides and a couple spinning rods out the back. One around 65' so it clears the side rods. Then I run a propwash rig, maybe 12' behind the boat with a deeper diver, usually a 5cm Flicker minnow. That rig always gets a few keeprrs every trip
Copy that . I have 30# PP on my dipsey and big board rods and usually run 12# mono on my planner rods . Smallest cranks I have are 9mm flicker minnows . But I guess I could order a few of the 5mm flicker shads . What's another couple cranks when ya already got 400 or so. Lol
I'm not sure what I'll do . Its 2:15 to Indian . And 1:30 to mosquito . I can be to Huron/vermilion/Lorain at Erie in 1:30 and cleve area in about 1:10 . In a perfect world hopefully Erie is good but we'll see
No problem. If you do order some, the Cabelas colors have been hot, especially the Glow Purple Growler. Flasy Chartreuse, pink cougar, purple cougar, flashy clown, and Chrome clown are all producers. And pink lemonade
Took Little Riverdude fishing out on our lake after a day of cutting wood.
