Priority1 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Frank S. and yours truly picked up a quick limit of eyes going with the flow. We did get a few undersized fish, and farmed 3 keepers. We were in 32-33 FOW drifting harnesses and bouncers. We ran 4 boards with 2 oz bouncers and two rods off the sides with 3 oz bouncers. Purple and chartreuse continue to gitter done. It felt strange not having 4 or more people onboard. I had to restrain myself from putting 10 or more line out.
A-Fishy-Anado Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Nice work Frank! Have you ever had the chance to hit Lake Erie near peele island for any eyes? That place will kick your A$$.....my memories of that trip were riggin boards and riggin harnesses ALL DAY LONG!!! No exaggeration when i say we never went 5 minutes without a fish on

That place will kick your A$$.....my memories of that trip were riggin boards and riggin harnesses ALL DAY LONG!!! No exaggeration when i say we never went 5 minutes without a fish on Brom, AuGres is in my back yard. I"m old and slow, and if it got any faster I'd probably collapse. Last week three of us, including a 92 yo limited in about 1-1/2 hrs. I can't see me driving 3 or more hrs to fish for walleye, when I'm 15 minutes from the AuGres launch. A good friend caught a 12.08# walleye a few days ago out of AuGres on one of my home tied harnesses.
lucky duck Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Frank was that on saturday? Talked to a guy at the dock and he showed me a 33 1/2 inch walleye. beautiful fish! My dads got a 32 inch 13.4 pounds walleye mounted , it was caught through the ice.
glnmiller Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Great job, sounds like crawler harnesses are working well.

Bob probably had his Jack Russell Terrier with him also. I think the dog netted the fish.
Indybleck Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Good job Frank, I'll give you a call hopefully in the next couple of weeks.Tom
JWheeler Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 2 man limit???? I bet you didn't spend enough time on the water only catching 10. At least it's not costing much in gas$$$$$$$$. Good work, I'll be looking to be back up next weekend.
Sea-Mac Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Nice goin Frank. See you've been on em pretty good lately. Cam Man is just about done with B-ball.. into tournaments now and he's been askin "When can we go fish with Frank?"

Cam Man is just about done with B-ball.. into tournaments now and he's been askin "When can we go fish with Frank?" Mike, Ya know I like kids, and make it extra special for them. I enjoyed fishing with Cam, your dad, and yes even you. It's been cool so far so the fish will probably hold their patterns for awhile. I hit them hard, from Late May until the action slows on the inner bay.
glnmiller Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 When does the action usually slow for Walleyes? I am planning a trip and want to try and hit it while it is still strong.
Priority1 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 Glyn, It's been relatively cool, so they will probably hold this pattern through July. A couple of years ago it was a hot June and they slowed down about 2 weeks into July. If I had to pick some days, to fish walleye on the bay, you can bet the farm they would be in June.
