Got a little time in between charters, the fishing on the bay this spring and summer has been fantastic. I have been very busy. The weather has been the best for catching a lot of fish without running all over the bay to find them. If you want to catch walleye in close, go straight out of the Quanicassee River and find the seven to ten foot water. There are lots of weeds, so good for the jigging, or the slip bobber method. I have been working the west side of the Bar in twelve to fourteen feet of water, with spinners and one ounce inline weights. Speed is very important, especially when the water is like a platter, no wind. I try to keep my speed between 1.1 and 1.3; productive colors have been pink and gold, gold and purple, and a black, silver and pink combo. I tie all my crawler harnesses to match the hatch, my favorites are the mayfly, strictly gold, and pink sunrise. I do have these for sale by contacting us online or by phone; you will not find these in the sporting goods store. I take great pride in running an educational charter, while making it FUN. I want to see people catch more fish once they have experienced a day on the water with me. You know, you can catch fish some days with very little effort. But I want to be there when the bite is tough, that’s the challenge. That is when all the details I point out and techniques that I teach pay off. If you are reading this, remember these two things: analyze why you just caught that fish, and never, never leave fish to catch fish. There are big fish along with the little ones. You just need to figure out the technique to get them to strike. The water temperature is now in the 70's so the troll will change. If you have your own boat, consider bringing it up and staying here; we have two fully furnished cabins on site available to rent. I can give you way points on the bay to put you on the fish; the rest is up to you. Please don’t hesitate to email the Lodge if you have a fishing question. I will try to answer it if I can. If I don’t know, I will find out. I need to clean the boat and get ready for the next trip. Thanks for checking in-be safe on the water!
