After researching Walleye charters for a few weeks back in February, I finally chose Captain Drew Bercaw to take our group out for two outings, Friday morning and Saturday afternoon. We worked out of N.E. Port Marina, Port Clinton, Oh. and boated about 9.5 miles to just south of the Canadian border. We cast and drift fished with spinner rigs and nightcrawlers in about 25' of water. The bite was very good with catching many fish from 13"- 26 .5"
It was a little breezy and rough on Friday with 3-5' waves and a little rain but slightly smaller 2-3' on Saturday. It definitely gave our legs a workout.
We ended up with between 45 & 50 pounds of fillets which will be enjoyed by multiple families.
We are excited about scheduling with Capt. Drew again for next year if not sooner as we are possibly looking at a fall trip.
A good time had by all.

Hello stagers! Spring has arrived in Northern Michigan.. was a beautiful day yesterday without hurricane force winds we have had of late.. chores be damned!
Prepped my rods and picked a lake and went fishing!
Took me a few hrs to locate them, but finally found them! Tried a few known locations and caught a dink on a crankbait.. went exploring and found a bunch of Smallies that wanted to play…caught them all on a Zoom superfluke, cream and chartreuse color.. I missed several, could not get a hook in them.. so I downsized hook and game on. Ended up with 9-10 caught and released, biggest just a tad over 4lbs…nothing like smallies!

The wind died down here in late afternoon and around 4 pm I headed out for Edinboro Lake. Got there and a big dark cloud was hovering real close. By the time I got on the water and about a quarter mile up to the pads all heck broke loose so there I sat hunkered down under my big golf umbrella ( save the cigar) . This lasted about 20-25 minutes so as soon as it broke I started casting away. I was using a big popper that I don't usually use and nothing was even making an attempt so I switched to my lighter pole with my Booyah jr. Popper .
A few cast later in an isolated patch of pads this bass shot up thru some matted crap came completely out of the water and choked my frog . No trouble getting her in 4.56 #s . And just to show I'm not prejudice on how big a Bass has to be to get a pic of , well my second bass was really small. That was it for the day wind picked up again and dark thirty rolled on the lake. I'll take it for a few hrs of frogn' in nasty weather. Sorry bout the pics something going on when I upload to my phone???????? 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏
