Who’s ready to chase some of those tournament fish? One fish could change your life. Get signed up and give me a call to put you on the big ones! Remember everybody on the boat must be signed up for one or both of the tournaments for the fish to count.

On Thursday night I had the honor of attending the Premier of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources(ODNR) movie titled “Ohio Wild at Heart” at the IMAX theatre at Imagination Station in Toledo, Ohio. This event was attended by Governor DeWine, Congressman Bob Latta, the head of the ODNR, any many other guests. The movie was fantastic. It showcased many of the opportunities that we have right in our backyards to get out and explore the outdoors. If you get the opportunity, it’s well worth the watch.

With perch catches still very hit or miss, today I opted once again to search for some walleye. We finished 5 short of a boat limit, but did manage to pick up a dozen perch and a couple cats for the customers.

After a successful walleye trip in early August, Todd came back today to give perch fishing a try. These guys stayed on the rail all day, which paid off with 90 perch that weighed in at 26lbs. It was a very light bote with quite a few shorts that were theown backnti be caught another day. Blue perch fly rigs seemed to work best. We were north of the Toledo Harbor lighthouse in 21’ of water. I still have several days open in October. Give me a call and shoot me a message if you’d like to secure your date to fish for some Lake Erie Gold!

The day started out a little bumpy after yesterdays blow day. We went right back out to where we finished on Sunday and found a decent batch of fish. We finished the day 14 for 19 with 5 kings and 7 steelhead going into the cooler for another boat limit. We released 2 steelhead caught while clearing lines at the end of the day.

Mid-Week Update:

We arrived in Point Breeze on Sunday afternoon. After getting settled into our AirBnB we headed out for a couple hours in the evening for an evening shakedown. We finished with 3 decent Steelhead before pulling lines and heading back to port. Sunday morning was about as perfect as it can get. It took us a bit to find the fish, but once we did, it was chaos on the deck. We finished with 4 Kings and 8 Steelhead for a boat limit. We woke up Monday morning to some heavy winds and waves that were supposed to build as they day goes on. We headed out to see if we could make the best of the current conditions. We picked up 2 Kings before the waves and developing storms sent us seeking refuge back on land. Here it is Tuesday and looks as though the day is going to be a total loss due to wind and waves. Hopefully Mother Nature has better plans for tomorrow.

I pulled the boat Saturday afternoon in order to get some much needed cleaning and maintenance done before I drag the boat to New York next weekend for a week of salmon fishing on Lake Ontario. Today, I got the cabin detailed, a 2nd graph/screen installed, and the outside power washed before I called it quits for the night. Tomorrow evening I’ll work on detailing the exterior and getting the boat rigged for salmon fishing.

Saturday morning I had Nick, John, and young Liam aboard for a short perch fishing trip. We started early to get a jump on the high temperatures forecasted for the day. The perch bite was slow, but we managed enough for an evening fish fry back at their camp, before the heat had us headed back to the dock. Unfortunately, I failed to take any pics. Luckily Captain Dustin snapped a pic of us from afar!
