What a Day!!
by Capt Juls on 05/25/14Since Mazurik's was a zoo yesterday, I called my husband and wife crew of Lisa and Joe Wailand of PA to meet me at the ramp a little earlier than yesterday. It was the right call, because it was an easy launch. We were on our way by 6:15.
They had scheduled an 8 hour trip, but we had caught their limit by 8:30am, so we went fun fishing and played catch and release for the rest of the day, away from my "hot spot". I think we probably boated close to 40-50 walleye today and three times that many white bass and white perch. Oh, and two catfish, and three or four sheephead. :)
Same program that I have been running for the past week. Same numbers as yesterday too. After we left our first spot early this morning, we headed to the east side of Kelly's where a friend was fishing and said I should check it out. Well, he obviously did better than we did over there, because while he was catching nice big walleye, we were only catching eaters on the same pass. The only difference I can think of is that he was using hatchet blades and I was using Colorado blades...??? Everything else was the same...speed, direction, depth, etc. The only difference was the blade.
Joe wanted this trip to learn how to run the Off Shore boards and get some practice, and practice is what he got! A lot of it. I had him and Lisa moving all day long. He did great, as did Lisa, and they are planning another trip up here in the next month or two to do a walleye/smallmouth combo trip up in Canada. I can't wait! That will be a lot of fun.
Well, it was a long day, and I have lots to do before tomorrow's trip, so I have to keep this short. I'll report back tomorrow when I get home.
Weather today: Beautiful! Light SW winds, 80 degrees, bright sunshine.
Water temps are in the high 60's in most spots in the western basin right now.
