Reel commentary: Worked 80-115fow until 10am, no hits. a lot of marks of lakers and bait pods near the bottom from 80-90fow; pulled lines n reset in 125fow out to 154, some decent marks up and down but no hits, moved back into 105 to 90 and couldn't even snag a few greasers we were still marking; we thought we still had the skunk in the boat at 1:15 until we pulled the last line, rigger that was right on the bottom and a small laker was on it, don't know how long he was there.

Quite a few boats out there and from what we heard and observed very, very slow. Talked to boat named Jinx who fished out to 180 and then past 200 and nothing.

Beautiful day on the lake, nice peaceful 0-1 swells and then around 11 almost glass.

Next trip mid July probably for eyes Lac Erie out of

Monroe in Ohio waters by West Sister.

What kings there were here have moved up north; my b neighbor was out today in Manistee and got 3 decent kings and two throw backs on meat in 160-320fow.

Thanks for the report.

Good luck over on Erie. I grew up fishing that area and usually get over there at least once a year. I launch out of Fenwick Marina. I will be over on Erie the week of the 20th fishing in the central basin out of Geneva on the Lake.

Let us know how you do. Not too many posts in the walleye fishing section here. It would be nice to see a few.

Sea Eagle,

My neighbor has done two spring and usually two fall trips in Port Clinton Area, but not as far east as Geneva. He was out near West Sister a few weeks ago and did ok. Since we will be going during the week we'll probably launch out of Sterling State Park, head to Stony Point and work from their toward West Sister in OH waters.

Earlier in the season in western basin there are three spots you fish, Stoney, straight out from the Raisen and between Sputnik buoy and West Sister.

Good luck on Geneva trip.

I'll report about our trip.

We have family trip to the UP 7/1 - 7/11 which will keep The Reel Woman out of the water for a few weeks.
