A couple of slow days, a couple of OK days, and a couple of GREAT days ! And now a description of this weeks weekday weather as we had it on the big lake: Rough, rougher, and rougher ! It was not till Friday that we finally caught a break and were able to enjoy a nice flat lake again this past week. And guess what day we were able to really tear the fish up... ? Surprise, surprise ! Friday we did not have to fight everything that we did out there and we were rewarded with one of the nicest box's of Walleyes that we have taken to date this year aboard "The Trophy" !
The fish are really stacking up out there now in the 72 foot plus range. I am absolutely certain that there is now a new school of eastward bound migrating Walleyes out there moving in to mix and blend in with the early migrators already here and the local fish that we have been beating on for the last month. But then look at the calendar. After all, it is July... We are right on schedule. We are still catching the predominantly 03 year class of Walleyes. I am really hoping we get a hatch this year. You just can't keep beating on the same year class forever. Something's got to give. Odds are if we don't get a strong hatch this year, limits WILL be reduced next season. I give up loosing sleep over it. All I know is that it is very good right now whenever the lake cooperates.
Aboard "The Trophy" we have been on a deep water program as of late. We have been catching fish on both the wire line and crankbaits and also on the new Tru-Trip Jet 50's that are the latest rage on the lake. Friday we caught most everything that we caught on the new Jet Divers but the weekend itself seemed much, much slower for comparrison sakes. It will be an interesting summer to see how this all plays out. I don't do change well but it wouldn't break my heart to get away from all the nightmares that surround the super long wire line leads that all my guys are so used to in July and August. 100 foot on the new Jets seems to equate what we had to do with 350-400 foot of wire. A very serious difference. I will let you all know in about a week or so... I'm going to give them a real chance.
So we have a few open dates coming up this week, Tuesday July 6th and Thursday July 8th are available. We also have in the following week Wednesday July the 14th available for anyone looking. As always, there are no guaranttees when you go fishing but we really are in the peak of our summer deep water offshore fishing now. And a bad day might mean only 15-18 of the 6 to 7 pound Walleyes. Not exactly terrible and certainly a whole lot better then going into work. Lol, ! Give me a call.... Capt. Walt at 216-387-2656 boat/ mobile #.
