Feb 5 - John Sparkman Have been
doing well in hole below east Stoefelt bridge. Mark the day I saw you
there we got 48
Jan 31 - Mark Schaller My son
Jacob needed to get some hours in on his learners permit so I had him
drive me around to check out the fishing. They are catching perch through
the ice at Lee Rd. I must have seen about 50 to 75 perch on the ice with
quite a few in the 10+ range. If anyone is thinking about launching at
LEMP to fish the canals forget it. The whole area around the ramps is
frozen
Jan 31 - Fished 1/21/10 @ Squaw Lake for bluegill; I got
skunked and I didn't see anyone else fishing.
Jan 23 - Jerry Hinton, Mike Pasik and Mark
Schaller fished the canals in Gibraltar for perch. Very slow.
Caught a couple good ones but many dinks and shad to steal the bait. Maybe
a bit early?? But nice to be with friends and hold a fishing rod again.
Saw Sparky today, glad to report he looks good and says he feels good too.
Nov 22 - Mark Schaller Went out
this morning in the fog to try and pick up a few walleye. I covered
a lot of water today, started out at Humbug Marina and caught nothing.
Moved up the the Edison Discharge and picked up one on a #11 Orange Rap.
Moved over to the East side of Calf where I picked up another on a #9
Clown. Tried the west side of calf and came up empty. Moved
north of calf in 16 feet of water due east of the head of Humbug Island
and picked up 3 on a #11 Chartreuse Rap. All males 16 to 20 inches
long and full of baitfish. water temps were around 47 degrees and
clear. Started at 8:30 am and quit at noon. I caught the last
3 between 11:30 am and noon.
Nov 15 - Mark Schaller Took a drive
down to Luna Pier tonight to see if anything was going on. Water was
crystal clear, no floating weeds, lots of minnows cruising the shoreline
and no walleye following them. I talked to one guy who said he was
there until 11:00 pm last night and only two fish were caught.
Apparently Monday (Nov. 9th) they really got into them. Oh
Well.

out perch fishing this morning with my Dad and fellow club member Richard
Silagi. We ended up with about 15 keepers and 5 throwbacks all east
of Powderhouse Island. The water is finally clearing up. Most
of the fish were in the 8 - 10 inch range and a few over 11 inches long.
Oct 17 - Mark Schaller Went
out tonight and picked up two walleyes in the Edison Discharge area.
Both males 20 and 21 inches long. One came on #9 Hot Tiger Rap

degrees and visibility was less than a foot.

A buddy and I fished Saturday & Sunday (9/19 - 20) West/North

over 400 fish but was able to keep only about 150 between us with an
average size of about 7-7.5 inches. Only a handful of Jumbos (10-12
inches). ALOT of "dinks". Temperature at the bottom was 66
degrees. Both days were on the rough side (especially Sunday).

limit. Not a large number of Jumbos yet but my limit averaged 8-9 inches.
Area: within a mile or two West of the heilopad in 27 - 32 FOW.
August 31 - Mark Schaller Went 8
for 8 on the Bows (Steelhead) and Eyes today handlining in the Trenton Channel. All
of the 15 inch Bow's were caught just ahead of the discharge channel.
I released all but one that was hooked pretty bad. The eyes
were caught west of the Catamaran, 3 on the 40' lead (Corn) and one on the
20' lead (Chartreuse Watermelon). I also picked up about 7 Smallies
ranging from 8 to 15 inches. Lucky's GSC, Chartreuse Watermelon and
a "Corn" Denny Spoon picked up all the fish. Around 11:00
am I went over to Powderhouse Island and caught about a dozen perch of
which I only kept 3, 9 to 10 inchers. Water was clear, a few
floating weeds and 67 degrees.
August 29 - Jerry Hinton and Mike
Pasik spent a dry morning (for a change) in the Trenton Channel and jigged
up 6 nice walleyes from 17"- 21". I used 3/4 oz sparkle blue jig
with 4" finesse minnows. Mike used 1 oz chartreuse jigs with
Wyandotte Worms tipped with meat. Also missed 2 at the boat and a couple
others on the way up. Many smallies and sheeps too. We drifted from the
Catamaran almost to Calf Island in the middle. Very few boats for a
Saturday morning?????

Fished Fermi with Bob Burdick, ended up with 7 keeper eyes, largest 6.5
lb, and a few throw backs. Fish were stacked up in 21 feet directly east
of towers, near the no fly zone. Ran a north - south line. Threw the whole
tackle box at them, finally found the right combo, Hot-N-Tots, 60 back,
chrome and blue, red lip, 2.2-2.5 mph. Any slower and the big sheepies
took over. Nice clean water Sunday, no weeds and no algae bloom.
