Great fishing! Ah, but that pesky east, northeast wind. For most of all last week, a high pressure system just sitting northeast in Canada has kept a persistent flow of cool and rather strong wind flowing across the western basin. This made fishing a bit tougher but not impossible.
We’re still on a jig fishing program here aboard “The Trophy” and we limited out or have come very close to limiting on each of our outings. We spent a couple of days hopping around on the reefs and a couple of days fishing the beach areas near shore. The Walleyes seem to be everywhere but the slightly deeper water, the 14 – 16 ft. range, seems to be the best. The trollers seemed to struggle from what I heard on the radio but I attribute that to the very choppy lake conditions making trolling challenging to say the least. Perch fishing around Kelleys sounds absolutely awesome from what I am gathering on the radio. We continued to catch some beautiful Smallmouth Bass on most all of our trips last week as well. The Walleye limit goes from the conservative spring limit of 4 per man to the regular summer limit of 6 per man starting on May 1st! I guess we’re going to have to “work” a little bit hard each day! |
