PLANER BOARDS GONE WILD!!

The winds were stiff, but that didn’t scare this crew off!! Cousins Cohen and Owen were tough and caught on quick. They were handling the rods like pros, taking planer boards off and throwing fish in the well!! After catching a couple fish off Marblehead we hit a dry spell. We decided to go back to our spot and hammered out 18 fish by 11:30. Cohen caught his very first Lake Erie walleye today! He also took our big fish of 26+ inches!? Cousin Owen was a close 2nd! His fish was shorter but a bit beefier. Bandits 25’ - 50’ caught all of our fish with exception to a couple on #9 Flicker Minnows. Thanks to Dad / Uncle Jimmy as well for your help today and for bringing these guys out!! Good Times!! Enjoy the Fish Fry!!

Started out Friday morning with Andy taking his new P. B. Walleye, the first fish of the day going 29 1/4 inches and 8.0 pounds!! As soon as we called out the right looking fish coming across the live scope screen, the planer board raced backward! We stayed on a small pod of fish on the east side of the camp Perry firing range, catching mostly 5+ pound walleyes. Bandits ruled the day at 30’ to 60’ foot back. Color didn’t seem to matter. The 2 of us Caught approximately 20 fish +/- a couple, throwing back the larger females. Sunday was more of the same fish and same program, just in another spot. I have the 23rd and 24th of this month available yet.

Fishing ESE of Kellys Island on Thursday and boated a dozen or more fish in short order fishing solo. Nice grade of fish with most all 4-7lbs. Caught on Bandits 20-25’ down in the water column. A custom bandit by Hammertime Lures took the 3 biggest fish at 120’ back. (Blue Chrome with Orange and Chartruese spots) All were released to be caught another day. Some real trophies were caught near the Camp Perry Firing Range this past week. Many fish were caught over 10lbs, with one over 13lbs! If you are interested in catching a trophy, now is the time!! Have it mounted or turn it loose and get a reproduction mount. The reproductions at the Ohio Musky show by LAX were absoutely stunning!
