Fishing with Karl, Mickey, and Paul 6/7/18
by Capt Juls on 06/07/18This morning I met my crew at the Walmart here in Port Clinton at 5am, and we drove over to Huron together. We were the first ones to the launch, and were headed out the channel at 5:30.
I pointed the boat east of the Huron River and set down "over that way" in 27' of water...setting a trolling pass to the north and taking it out to 32' of water. The wind was out of the southeast at 10mph, the temperature outside was a nice cool 60 degrees, and the water temp was only 62.8 degrees...down from the 67 degrees we had last week.
There were fewer mayflies on the Helix's screen than over by the islands, so that was nice too!
We ran the same program I've been running many other places on the lake lately...the number 11 Flicker Minnows (any color works) at 45/55/65 back at 2.1-2.3mph...and, again, it was successful. We had our 4 person limit by 8:30 this morning, so we headed in to go to Lemmy's for breakfast, since everyone was hungry. :)
Mickey's son, Paul, had a good time and learned the routine of reeling in Off Shore boards from the outside position very well, and kept the tangles to a minimum! And, like a true walleye fisherman, he cursed the dreaded Sheepshead when it showed itself coming in on top of the water doing the "spinning thing". lol Luckily, the sheepshead were few and far between today too!
Everyone had fun, and that's what it's all about...and, that makes me happy! :)
I am going out of Catawba tomorrow with three gentlemen, who have their boat here for the next few days, and are camping on Catawba...they just want to learn the areas a little bit and go after some walleye and perch tomorrow.
My crew that was scheduled for Saturday and Sunday have decided to reschedule to July, in hopes of better weather. So, it looks like I'll be doing some gardening this weekend. woot! woot!
Stay tuned....
