Walleye fishing remains very slow! There were a few fish caught over the weekend but the cold dirty water is making fishing tough. From the guys i talked to; trolling out produced jigging over the weekend. I think we are at least a week away from good fishing.

Walleye fishing is still very good in the western basin. Saturday, we started off casting north of b can and only pulled a couple of keepers after about an hour. The decision was made to start trolling, so I set the dipseys and started getting the boards in the water and both dipseys went off...
Fishing has been really good the past three days both casting and trolling. Monday, we trolled near A-can and pulled 35 nice eyes using stinger spoons, j-7's, and worm harnesses. Yesterday, the lake was angry early, but died down to a good drift and the eyes were on fire! We caught 36 walleye...
Anyone read into this yet? I had a buddy of mine call me yesterday and tell me about it, but hadn't read the articles yet. Looks like this nasty spring has been tough on a lot things!

Nobody else fishing?? I have only made it out twice this year and only managed 1 fish. Had alot of laughs, I think I am going to jack around a little more this year and ease up on trying to run up a fish count. I think it will be more fun that way.
I will start by saying this is going to be a fairly long thread. I am going to start with safety gear first. I am going to be long winded and explain why I carry what I do. I have added and subtracted stuff from this list over the years and this is what I feel is my minimum safety gear for...
Well I was looking in my tackle box I keek the ice fishing stuff in
And all I found was pan fish stuff
Not suprising , since I have not been out on Erie in 10+ years and I let my brother use my gear 2 years back
So it looks like we might get out on the lake yeat this year...
I just found this picture of a large stringer of walleye I pulled from the mighty maumee quite a few years back when the limit was 10 per day! Man that was a heavy stringer!
Do any of you guys remember pulling 10 fish out of there and carrying them across the island? Those were the days...
