kitchen Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Fished out of harbor beach sunday and had a very productive trip with a nice mixed bag of fish. We worked 50 to 80 fow south of the harbor out from the cementary, we ran all standard spoons in orange crush, black nancy, micheal jackson, and greasy chicken wing, trolling at 2.5 to 2.8. We managed to box 3 walleye 8 to 10 pounds, along with 2 browns, 1 laker, 2 steelhead, 1 coho, 1 pink, and 1 king it was a blast my arms still hurt. We worked the bottom 40 foot of water, we also lost 3 or 4 fish. Alot of people catching nice eyes while trolling for salmon, we caught most of the fish between 630 and 830 last nite. The bite in the morning is also very hot with the fish being in close in the shallows.
kitchen Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 Ive been fishing with a 72 year old man thats been fishing out of harbor beach his whole life and he told me hes never caught more than 10 walleye in a trip but he said he has never caught one here under 24 inches either, and you cant beat the mixed bag of fish here either, i really want to make it back to the bay this weekend but the way the fish are biting here i have a hard decision to make.
fishinmachine2 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 We managed to box 3 walleye 8 to 10 pounds, :confused:Iknow quite a few guys around from Thunderbay to Port Huron and I havent heard of many 8 to 10lb walleyes and you seem to get them quite regularly!???
kitchen Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 I wouldnt say reguraly but the last few weeks the few eyes weve caught while salmon fishing in 70 to 100 fow were lunkers, the only other big walleye ive caught here in harbor beach was in april casting a little cleo off the breakwall.
