Great work once again Terry.

Another fantastic report Tim. Well done out there, thanks for sharing your succsess with us.

I have to agree with you Mark. Living right on a walleye mecca ive fished allot the big tournaments and know allot of guys that fish the big circuts in the state as well as out and they all have the latest up to date high tech new fangled sonar on the market to help give them an edge finding and ultimately catching fish. Personally, i know i always have my electronics on. Thats my underwater eyes and outside my rod, reel and lure my most valuable tool. I cant imagine fishing without it.

Another great trip on the LBDN

Nice job Nick. Thats a beautiful port. Hows that back coming along?

Awesome trip Randy!

Nice job ken, thats a great report. A real nice reward after a hard week of baling hay.

His concern is electrical discharge into the water, not the sonar's ping scaring fish.

Thats a nice piece of fishing right there. Way to go Bromley!

Great report Bob. Sounds like you all had some fun out there!

Great job Mark. Thats a fine evening of fishing.

I used the chamberlains over Memorial Weekend for the first time and i was really impressed. I love my walker terminators, but these are even better. You can put all the verticle pressure you want and just breath on it to get a release. No shakers with these thats for sure!

Now thats the way to spend the day!

I like the Silver Horde Ace High Plugs. No hook harnesses to keep track of. Great plugs. I run them on all my delivery systems-riggers, cores/copper and dipseys. If you got cold water on the beach you can long line them off boards and do good as well. I ususally run mine 40-60' off the ball early and late in the day and put em out on the cores late morning/midday.

Not a bad night at all. Nice job Mike. I like that shaker 20# laker!!! Dang!

Sounds like another typical day out there. Grind it out and get it done...Nice job Frank

Nice job Justin. Good to hear about the yellowbellies now and then. Tasty little devils.

Nicely done Terry and a great report as well.

When i first saw that pic i thought Scott has caught a rope. Then i was like holy $hit thats allot of fleas!!!...lol

He has a pic of a line absolutely loaded with them.

Thats the other puzzling thing. Other than lack of food, why would they venture north outta the Bay? Water temps are only in the high 60's to low 70's unless you get a few days of flat calm water with high sun that heats the surface up. Otherwise its relatively cool yet. Fish should be going ape chit down here, but lots of guys are really working hard for their catch with a few exceptions of guys pounding on em.

LOL....Twilli....I see we're on the same page. You posted while i was typing my response.

I dont think so Tony, water doesnt seem any clearer on my end of the Bay. Theres a great algae bloom again, at least up around 1 and 2. I may have worded it wrong with the word finicky. Should have said you need to do more fishing to get your fish. From what ive seen on the bay this year the fish seem to be scattered as opposed to those massive schools where things have just gone nuts in recent years. Seems to be smaller isolated pods and when you find them you gotta hang tight on em as opposed to making a longer run through a larger schools of fish. Allot of the traditional areas that produce great catches this time of year have been sub-par IMO. Ive also not marked any substantial amounts of bait since late May. Makes me wonder if theres a bit of a problem there and fish are scattered looking for food? Another observation has been smaller overall size. Seems to be lots those 14 1/2"-16" fish. Where are all those 17-20"+ fish that dominated the winter catch. Tournament weights have reflected smaller fish as well. Many 15# winners this summer with a few exceptions...most of which had a big fish in the basket. Ive been reading reports lately of good catches off Alpena. Even on this site a member has posted a couple good reports and made mention of record numbers of fish weighed in in a tournament. Makes me the fish are eating themselves outta house and home on the inner bay and are exploring the big lake in search of food? Again, just some observations, the cieling isnt falling by any means. Still lots of great fishing out there. You just have to go out and fish compared to the "point and click" fishing we've had in recent history.

Great report and a heck of a pile of fish. Looks like the canner, smoker and grill will be going full bore!!!!

Glad you had fun in Augres Dennis. We definitely have a great fishery here. Just been an odd summer it seems with a more finicky bite than the past few years.
