Lake Erie Lake Report on 13th May, 2023 - 1

Received a 10pm booking for our Saturday afternoon charter.

Family Time

Father and Son Joe and Joseph along with brother/sun in law Zack and Kristian came aboard with their drift and cast gear. I suggested they didn't need that as we are on a good program for our post-spawn Walleye. They wanted to give casting a try. We headed out of West Harbor to a South Passage rock pile holding Walleye. It was slow but they caught 3 released 1. With an hour to go I suggested the let me drop the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards in so they could leave with a respectable amount of Lake Erie Walleye. We quickly dropped in 3 boards each side. We soon had a 25 inch Walleye on boards. We picked away until we had another 4 and our time was up.

Sea Sick Frog Bandits 70 back. TruTrip 50s 28 back with Flicker Minnow pink lemonade. Speed 2.1 mph.

47th Anniversary Walleye fishing report coverpicture

Lake Erie Lake Report on 13th May, 2023 - 2

Steve and Maureen put an Island in their life for their 47th anniversary. We headed West of the Bass Islands to find their Walleye.

We had a nice pick for the 1st 6 Walleye and when the light rain moved in our bite changed. We rotated a lot of baits to find color pattern. Ultimately Blue Chrome PWC and Spotted Frog Bandits were the winners.

PWCs 40 to 55 back. Bandits 70 to 90. TruTrip 50s 28 back. The Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrips are producing more Walleye each day as the water warms.

Speed was 1.7 to 2.1 mph.

The Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards were busy today as Steve made numerous changes and adjustments to get the very negative fish to bite.

Lake Erie - Lake, OH Lake Report on 29th Apr, 2023 - 1

BlackH2oDog Charters 2nd group was a birthday trip for Brandon, arranged by his girlfriend. Brandon brought along his stepfather Charlie and his uncle Brian. We had a short window of opportunity on this 4 hour outing. We headed between the islands and found great marks immediately on our Raymarine Axiom. A quick fire set of instructions on using the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards and we soon had our boards and Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s working. The outer board with a Bandit 50 back took a nice 24" Walleye. Soon another came on TruTrip 50 32 back with a SB Reaper. Then nothing... So with 2 hrs to go we made a big move west. This time the boards went out quickly and we had a steady pick of Walleye for the next 2 hours. TruTrip 50s 35 back. Bandits 50 & 80. Bill Lewis PWC 45 back. Speed 1.7 to 2.3 mph #blackh2odog #lakeeriefishing #offshoretackle #BigFishTuff #birthdaygift #Raymarine #teamscoutboats #lewsfishing

Lake Erie - Lake, OH Lake Report on 29th Apr, 2023 - 2

Started of the morning in a still foggy misty morning. Picked up David and Samantha along with David and Deanna, David's parents. 3 David's today 🤔 After a quick stop for an island photo we set lines West of the Bass Islands. We started quickly with 2, then 4 and our bite turned into a slow pick. High baits would go followed by a deep bait. One @ 2.3 mph then one @ 1.6. Hard to established a pattern so we worked what we had. We eventually settled into Bandits 50 to 80 back with Bill Lewis PWC at 50 back. The TruTrip 50s 35 back also came to life today. These first time Lake Erie anglers pushed through the tough times and learned to run the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards. #blackh2odog #BigFishTuff #lakeeriewalleye #teamscoutboats Gill Fishing #lakeeriefishing #offshoretackle #lumitec
