Fishing with Steve 8/27/16
by Capt Juls on 08/31/16Had a day off to go fun fishing with my friend, Steve, this past Saturday in his new Ranger. We didn't get on the water until close to 10am though. Steve isn't into perch fishing, and is a catch and release kind of guy, so we opted to go try for the elusive walleye for a few hours.
We headed out of Mazurik's and headed east towards Cedar Point/Huron to see if the bite has started over there. This time last year, they were in there in good numbers, so we decided that would be a good place to start.
I love it when a plan comes together....
Running crawler harnesses with 2oz inline weights, at 1.5-1.6mph, we managed to pull 9 walleye out of 30' of water. There was very little junk that day, and every time the board went back it was usually a walleye. We ended up catching and releasing 9 walleye ranging in size from 18 inches to 27 inches.
Steve had a monster walleye on, definitely over 30", but lost it at the back of the boat, when she went into the prop of the G2. I can honestly say, it was the longest walleye I have ever seen! His well deserved punishment for not keeping his rod out to the side of the boat, was that he never got to see it! Ha! :)
Anyway, it was a nice 4 hours on the water Saturday, and nice to just relax a little while out there fishing.
