Nov 8 - Ed Neubecker   I left work a little early today to take advantage of the nice day, and to take the new Jon boat on it’s maiden voyage. I  was fishing from about 3-5pm in 6’ water on the west side of Celeron Island and kept 26 fish. Most of them were 9-10’’, with a couple of doubles. I probably caught 40-50 perch in the two hours I was out on the water. The water was pretty dirty from the weekend wind, but these fish were HUNGRY!!!! Many of the fish had two minnows in their mouth when I put them in the cooler.  I wish all my fishing trips were like this one.  

Oh yeah…one more thing. I launched at Lake Erie Metropark. There was a nice 8pt buck hanging out at the edge of the woods at the entrance. Most everyone at the bait shop was hanging out at their truck with binoculars checking out big daddy!!...Ya just gotta love the fall season!!

Oct. 16 - John Bielawski  Took Friday off to make up for the Mud day last weekend. Fished the 19 FOW east of Fermi with Bob Burdick. Took a little work to find the walleyes, but we finished with a 2 man limit by 3:00. Purple harnesses on bottom bouncers were the hot ticket. All fish 15-19 inches. Still a lot of good fishing days left.
Johnny-B-Good!

Oct. 13 - Woody  As previously reported the perch fishing at the helicopter pad near Colchester can be incredible. Went the 12th and got a dozen with nothing under 12" until the wind changed and the water flattened. Red beads and silver spinners caught all the fish.

We did boat one Walleye around 4 lbs., on bottom bouncer and yellow harness. Must have hit him square on the head to get his attention! Only saw one other brave DWF boat out and he looked to be taking a beating also. We're going to need some calm days to clear this water up. Maybe next weekend.
Johnny-B-Good!

Oct 5 -  Ron Smiley & John Raymond  Fished Brest Bay yesterday 10/4. 2 man limit in 4 hrs. 20ft of water. trolled cranks and harnesses, purple crawler harnesses worked the best.

It wasn't fast and furious, but we kept over 50 with 20 over 11 inches. If you get the chance to go, try in 30-32 feet on the NW side of the pad. Good Luck!

Oct 1 - Marc Dupuis  Perched again this last Saturday, same as last week, shallows just north of Powder House Island. Me and Bob kept 50. They ran a little bigger than the week before. Still had to weed through them all. Fortunately not so many of those little tiny bass this time. Got there at daylight. Bite was over by 10:30 AM where I was. Left at Noon for an anniversary party I committed to, just as well.
    The swans were lined up like a flock of geese over by Grosse Isle. Quite an awesome sight. What a gorgeous week end, I'm sorry I didn't go back on Sunday

Kept 45 between the two of us, 6 over 10", the rest just big enough to clean. Lots of fish, just have to weed through them all day.  Got a meal anyway, that's what counts. Minnows, two hooks. They were not shy, beads and spinners on the hooks worked that day.

Sept 19 - John Bielawski  Could not make the tounament Sunday, 9/18, but went out in the evening with Dan Boileau. Fished in 19 FOW out from Fermi and took home a 2 man limit of eyes in 3 hours. Half of these fish were 17-19 inches with only a handfull of throw backs. Yellow blades with yellow bead or gold blade with red bead crawler harnesses behind 3/4 to 1 ounce inlines 20-42 feet back were the ticket.
Johnny-B-Good.

Middle part of the day from 11:30am till 4:00pm. Not as many dinks, but no biggies either. 15-17" was catch today. Not many boats out today, most were perching out by the intake.

Sept 11 - John Bielawski  Tried perch fishing without much sucess so we ended the day in search of keeper eyes. Tried 19 FOW out from Fermi with no luck but found 3 keepers out of 4 fish near the dumping grounds at the banana dile in 12-14 FOW pulling crawler harnesses. Those 14" fish are now 15-16", that is good news! Get out there while we still have good weather!.....Johnny-B-Good!

Sept 11 - Jerry Hinton   We fished in the same place listed below and caught 6 keepers including 2 3lbs. Is this the beginning of the fall fishery? Sure hope so. Same program but tried white jigs and they did just as well as chartreuse

Sept 5 - John Sparkman  Have been getting questions about where I have been. There has been nothing to report except small ones for example Friday I got 35 but only 1-15 in and 1-16 I'm doing ok no problems feel just great see you all soon John

Sept. 3 - Greg Warsow & Bob Frank.  Straight out East from Point Moullie in 8 - 14 FOW, wind NW.  Jig drifted (did not matter what color jig or twister, stinger always, tipped with nightcrawler).  32 walleye caught from 7:30 am until 1:30 pm. Only 4 keepers, all the rest between 13 and 14.5 inches. Bob also caught a nice 29 inch Pike and two 13 inch Perch.  Wind shifted from the South and killed the drift.  Perched until 3:30 pm by the 3 hazard bouys and took an additional 15 medium size.  Great day on the Lake until the wind shifted.  Geez, my shoulder is sore from catching so many fish.  Next year is going to be GREAT!

Sept 3 - Jerry Hinton  Mike Pasek and I fished this AM in front of Erie Metro Boat launch and sifted through many small walleye to get 9 keepers. Used Chartreuse jigs with brown worms (and stingers) tipped with crawlers. First time on the water after a knee replacement, boy did I have a great time. It's only gonna get better as the water cools down now.

Sept. 2 - Chuck Jones Went out last night till dark by Fermi & Sterling marking lots of fish (don't know what they were) but only caught 3.  One dink one just legal & one white bass.  Use both spoons & Wiggle Warts
STILL BETTER THAN CUTTING THE LAWN!

Aug. 21 -Pat Waite Went out with Mark Bodrie and found a few perch straight out from Toledo Beach in 20 to 22 FOW, using shiners on perch rigs. We boated 43 perch in about 6 hours. They were all 7" or better with a few bigger ones as well. We only had a couple throw backs so that made it nice. The wind kept building and we finally just quit and called it a day. Mark caught all the big ones!! "Wishin Ain't Fishin" Pat

Aug. 15 -Vince Bellottie   Perch fishing has been good around bouy E out of Bolles. Fishing 18-20 fow. Fished 8/15,8/16,8/17 in the morning for 4hrs. each day. The wife and I keep a total of 118 nice perch from 8"-11", most of the fish were in the 9"-10" range. The bite is very light when it comes to the bigger ones. Light action rod is a must. Could not find good shners so we end up useing fat heads on a perch spreaders. I think we would of done better if we had shiners. Vince

Aug. 7- Twischer  Trolling Ohio border southeast of Fermi. I am not sure if this location has a “name” but would be interested if anyone knows. This is our second weekend out to the same spot and we will be back next weekend as our catch has been increasing in size. 7-31-05 we fished 25-26FOW with dippsy divers and spoons (purple – Kevorkain) putting 8 fish in the boat and releasing a bunch for next spring. 8-7-05 13 keepers in the same location but replaced the spoons with gold blade crawler harnesses. We have been one of the first boats out the past two weekends (6:00am) but have only put 2 fish in the boat before 9:30 – 10:00 – we will be sleeping in next weekend……

Aug. 7 - Chuck Jones  We went out Sat. 8/6 in front of Sterling in 17 to 20 feet of water.  Ran our lines 50' back minis & spoons.  We kept 2 nice ones & caught at least 20 "dinks".  We tried Wiggle Warts but they just didn't produce anything.  Confusion was the best color next would be "Hotrod".  We were fishing for 3 hours & had to run back in.  Once we found a "hot" spot & worked it we were able to catch fish, but it was tough going.    BUT MUCH BETTER THAN CUTTING THE GRASS!

Aug. 3 - John Bielawski  Spent Wednesday evening, 8/3, out in 21 FOW in the Fermi waters. Boated 7 keepers 16-19" just 2 throw backs in 2 1/2 hours.

Anyway, I sent an email to the Canadian CC requesting further information. So far, I have not heard anything. As soon as I get a response, I will share it with the membership....Wind SE, hot, humid, surface temp 79.8 degrees.

LOTS OF SMALL ONES & other fish (sheeper & silver bass) We finished after 6 hours with 7 fish. 1 steelhead. We brought home 5lbs of cleaned fish. So that helped ease the pain! Bloody nose was the best spoon than Confusion. The warts only caught 1 Walleye and a few others. Stayed with warts too long but thought they would produce more Walleyes.

June 9 - Pat Waite  June 8th ,  Leon and I went out in Brest Bay and caught nothing but baby walleye, silver bass and sheeps head. Then we moved down to the waters near the Toledo Light and managed to get 5 keeper Walleye's, one of which was a 5 or 6 lb'dr. The number of small Walleye 10" to 14" on the day was 18 and there were plenty of silver bass and Boulder bumpers too. We got off the water when we saw the lightning and got safely back to port and on the road before the big rain started. Most of the walleye were caught on chrome/silver and gray/black wiggle warts set back 100 ft. in 14' to 18' FOW. The fishing in the fall should be showing a lot of just keeper size walleye and by next spring those same fish will be nice eater size. So the future looks good with all those little ones in the lake.

Monday was beautiful (the weather man got the wave height prediction right, but was way off concerning the thunderstorms). We got our two man limit in about five hours of fishing. Trolled night crawler harnesses with bottom bouncers. Tried the Gulp nightcrawlers for the first time. They worked at least as well as the live nightcrawlers. We got a few small walleyes and a few white bass, but they weren't a nuisance.

May 30 - Paul & Ted "Chief" Doute  Fished just north of Fighting Island.  We caught 55 hammer handle size walleye handlining with spoons.

May 30 - Dan Boileau  We just couldn't stand it anymore! The itch to do some open water trolling, and the fact that our Michigan season on Lake Erie doesn't open till Wednesday, forced a few of us (Me, Pete, Don V, Johnny B, Ed S, Scott B and Chris K) to head for Port Clinton on Sunday. The weather was perfect, and we had a great time. Thanks to Tom and Greg, who were there fishing on Saturday and Sunday, we didn't have to waste any time lookin for em. We headed to the South end of Kelly's Island and got into some real nice fish. Most came on spinners 40' back with a 1 ounce inline, but some of the nicer fish came on small Stinger spoons behind #30 Jets, 65' back. Between the three boats, we ended up with 34 fish that probably averaged 3 to 5 pounds with at least 5 of them between 7-1/2 and 10-1/2 pounds. Tom and Greg each pulled 12 fish limits with some nice ones mixed in too. (Thanks again to those guys!)
Port Clinton is only about a 90 minute drive from Downriver, and really does offer some great fishing. You can try to target the better ones - like we did - or you can opt to go where the big schools are to take fairly easy limits of eaters.
It's an option!   Cleepshaw

Sorry it was cut short by my sugar.

May 13 - Paul Doute  John Lewandowski, Ted and I went out last night during the cold front to spend time with John to instruct him on the finer points of handlining the Detroit River.  Anyway, silver bass, silver bass, silver bass....you could not keep them off the line. Caught  5 walleyes on various colors between 6:30pm and 10:30pm at Edison.  4 were too small - 12 to 14 inches with 1 around 3lbs. Wind was from the ENE 10 to 15mph. All of the walleye were caught on the west side of the river in 10 to 12ft. Did I tell about the silver bass? Many doubles, tons of action, hard to keep the shank in the water...all in all, John Lew had a good time and I think he actually learned something!!

Gary Norton and I started handlining just across from Grassy Island promptly at the crack of noon, our usual start time.  We trolled down river to BASF, made a few upcurrent passes, trolled down to the golf course, made a few zig zags, gave it up and ran down to the Grosse Isle free bridge, then trolled around the pilings a few times with absolutely no results.  We then worked our way down to the head of Calf Island where we got our one fish in about 20 feet of water at about 4:00.  It hit a Spike spoon.  We trolled that area until about 6:00 when we quit.  Exciting, eh?

March 3 - Mike Sorensen   Banana Dike in the a.m..  Got some perch and My buddy Mark Mullins caught 1 walleye. He lost a few at the hole.  Long walk out there.  Why the DNR won't let you ride a quad out there,  yet there is gravel trucks one after another driving up and down the dike all day long.

March 1 - Jason Zack  I would like to thank all the club members fro there help and input on Lake Simcoe the amount of response I got was great. I ended up fishing two day with Rick from Simcoe Fishing Adventures.  Me and My son caught over 400 fish in two day and kept 100 9" or better perch.  Simcoe is truly an amazing perch fishery and a great time. thanks again to all the club members it realy shows what a great club we have. Look forward to seeing all you at the  tournaments this year.. Jason Zack

February 17 - Mike Sorensen  Lake St. Clair Selfridge.  Out about 1/2 mile and caught 12 dink perch.  Not worth going

February 22 -    Simcoe very slow in Feb. be able to move spot to spot to get some fish- Tony

February 19 - Mike Zielinski  Perch activity near the cross dike continues to be slow. Minnows are best bait. North end not yet open. If you go, bring bluegill gear also (spikes or mousies), as the gills are hitting jigged baits about as well as the perch. Kids tried to get down to banana dike by boat from Gib. yesterday but couldn't get near the opening due to heavy ice. Have had good reports of perch catches and a few walleyes there but it's a long walk out. Some gills and small perch at Maynard's Marina in Rockwood. Park on road walk down to ice. 

February 17 - Mike Sorensen   Out by the Ford Yacht club in the canal for perch and nothing.  Tried Airport Bay and the same, nothing.  Talked to some others who had been out there since before light and not even a bite.  Will try again this weekend.

February 15 - Mike Zielinski  Perch are being taken through the ice below the cross dike east of Sugar Island. At present, you must tie up your boat in the Livingstone Channel and crawl over the top and down to the ice. This weekend might see the ice north of the dike move out so we can get onto the cross dike itself.   

January 31 - Jason Zack  I am considering taking my son to Lake Simcoe for a perch outing and was wondering if any members could recommend any Hut operators or any other suggestions would be welcomed.  The means of travel on the ice is foot.  That is why I am considering a Hut operator.  Any input would be appreciated! Jason Zack    jasonzack@wyandottealarm.com  734-283-8481

January 22 - Mike Sorensen  Was out during the snowstorm Saturday in Hartland by M-59 and US-23.  Tip-ups with chubs and sucker minnows for pike.  7 flags set, 6 fish landed.  One 36"hog followed by a 30" two 28's and two just under the 24" limit.  Was a good day but cold and lots of snow.  Had a hard time keeping the holes clean.

January 18 - Mike Sorensen  Went out ice fishing in Hartland yesterday and got 2 Pike and about a dozen gills.  Windy and cold!!!!!!!!!!!  Fish really weren't turned on.  Had 7 flags total but only managed the 2 pike.  Hope this report gets everyone thinking about fishing.

January 11 - Mike Sorensen  Went and had coffee with John Sparkman this morning.  Was good to see him again.  Haven't seen him since November or so.  Thought I would put this on the report Mike, since it isn't getting any fish reports.   Waitin' for all the ice fishing reports!   Mike B.

December 7 - John Sparkman  For anyone familiar with the East side the Sturgeon hole by Peche Isle is producing lots of EYES.Those of you who trailer your boat there is a ramp at the foot of Alter rd.

December 5 -Ed Neubecker  Went perch fishing Sunday from 9am-1pm, did bad. Only caught 3 keepers. One was a dandy 12''+. Fished near Lake Erie Metropark marina. Buoys have been removed, and water was REALLY dirty. I think the fish are still there, they just couldn't see the bait!.  I'm putting the boat away, but might go try shore fishing inside the marina

December 4 -Bob Piette  John, as always, it's good to here from you and to have your reports to look at.  Thank you and have a great Christmas. See you next year.     

December 1 - John Sparkman  This will be my last report this year!  Have tried for walleye the last 4 times out and only got 1 throwback . Water has been very dirty but still ok for day time. The problem is from too many small shad, their favorite DINNER.  See you come spring or if I get into lots of perch.  Looks real good around the marina for this winter
