What a Difference a Day Makes


Fished with Doug and Chico. The temperature this morning was in the mid 40s and by the time we quit it was in the upper 60s. The wind was less than 10 knots out of the Southwest with very little waves. The water temp is 50 degrees. Another nice day on Lake Erie. Heard a report this morning that everyone was catching fish last night, so we headed back to Turtle Island to give it a try. Must have been 200 boats fishing by the island. Slowed down and made a pass through the pack of boats and did not even mark a fish and never saw anyone catch a fish, so we headed out to the radar buoy. Marked a few fish but never had a hookup so we left there and went to the East side of the dumping grounds. Nothing happening there so we headed over to South Otter Creek and Chico caught a nice Smallmouth Bass and that was it. Decided to fish the West side of the dumping grounds and we finally marked some fish. We had a few hookups but only caught one walleye. A tough day fishing but a least the weather was nice.
