Nice work, fat fish Red!
Lots of good stories here. I'll add another that ended more positively. We were ice fishing walleye spoons on Lake Erie in 30 fow. I had a fish on and yelled to my Dad to come over and help me gaff...
Haha, I'll keep it to myself. Two broken rods in two days is definitely not a fun time. Thanks for sharing, makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one doing Bill Dance outtakes on the boat.
Was able to hit the river for several hrs on Friday and a couple hrs on Saturday morning.
On Friday morning I moved the same fish two times in about 5 minutes. The 40"ish followed a shallow...
Very cool, maybe I can give it a try sometime when the conditions are ideal.
Cool, I messed around with jigging last summer on LSC. No luck that time, but I will definitely try it again next summer. The deepest stretches in my area are 8-12 ft. I wonder if that is too...
Nice job Red! Looks like you had some luck recently. I've never really jigged the river. I'm assuming you fish the Musky Bomb as you would a Bondy?
I spent last Wednesday through Saturday AM...
Its hard to understand why I am not seeing more fish of any size based on my proximity to stocking locations and the numbers put in. Hopefully, that pattern will change next season. Maybe I need to...
Chased esox yesterday in the river. Raised one 30ish fish on a firetiger poseidon. I generally throw natural colors (walleye and sucker patterns) but I haven't been having any luck with year with...
Ugh, thats too bad. Love hearing stories of big by-catch from the river. I fish western Erie quite a bit but my two longest walleye are from the river. One on an 11" suick and one on a crane bait,...
Red, I had the same experience with musky charter captains when I was there during my week in late June. Two times during the week I was casting an area when one of the big trolling boats came by...
Keep on slugging! LSC is not always a picnic. I heard from club members about this past Saturdays blow. Good luck on your quest. Are you on the Canadian side? I spent a week fishing out of the...
I hear that. Nothing like targeting the big girls!
derailing a bit... Regionally sized lure patterns have always been fascinating to me. "People throw monster lures in Canada" or "that lure...
Wow! That is a monster. Is the Rig Boss a glider? Do you think people catch fish on smaller lures in the spring because thats what the fish want, or because thats what many people throw?
Red, very cool stuff!. I think we are referring to the same person or at least presentation, I sat in on his presentation several weeks back during our chapter meeting.
It was a very cool and...
Awesome fish! Crazy how it works out like that. Last trip of the year!
I guess thats one benefit to the dam being closer to you. I have never targeted anything other than catfish from the shore when the water is above 7 at Franklin. It currently sits at 9.3... ...
Red, does the water maintain clarity up there during the periods of high water?
Very cool. I want to make a trip up that way sometime. I wonder if they give tours of the facility. Do you think the tiger muskie you caught was natural?
Awesome! Lake trout and salmon? haha Thats wild. I wonder how they got there. I'm surprised that people don't run into more sauger. Populations are supposedly really strong in the lower river.
Thats awesome. I know people get them while fishing for toothies form time to time. Maybe I will run into one someday.
Very cool, Rockland is right around my camp. Would love to run into a Bowfin someday. Was your wife fishing with livebait?
When I can't fish in the river I think about the river. I'd gamble many people here share that same passion. The other day I was thinking about the variety of species in the river and and googling...
Thanks Red. Now to get one from the river, if it ever comes down. Looking to head up to the camp again around Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed the river will be fishable.
