first fish in about 5 minutes. Picked up one more there and 3 others in
front of the discharge. Ended up going 5 for 6 on #11 GFR, Purpledesence
and a #9 Clown. Water was stained, 53 degrees and some weeds. Started
around 8:00 am and finished up about 10:30 am. Met Sparky afterwards and I
got to listen to some of his words of wisdom at lunch. After that I gave
blood at Ken's Blood Drive. I would say I had a full day.

20" and biggest was 25". Hitting hard and many had big shad in
their bellies.
Oct 23-Ryan Hobson Weatherman says
5-10 from s/sw,so let,s go to Colchester. Leave around 7:30-8:00 from Rotary
Park/Trenton, glass calm to the lake, then....bam,15-25 south winds the
rest the way there. Hour and a half later we are drowning minnows. Fished
till 3:00 in 4-6's.Slow start but persistence paid off, the four of us
limited out(8-12") but we used 9 doz/shiners weeding thru the
dinks.25-30fow 1/2mi north west of heli-pad. Offical weigh in at the
cleaning station...60 lbs. Great day of perchin. Good luck out there, and
be safe.
Oct 16 - Mark Schaller Woke up this
morning around 6:00 am and after a quick peek outside and a check of the
weather radar I figured I had about a 4 hour window of opportunity. I
hooked up the boat and was on the water by 7:00 am. As expected the water
was dirty but I have fished in worse. Winds were out of the SW and that
made things a little bumpy by the Catamaran but up by the stacks it wasn't
bad. Caught 3 and released 2 between the above mentioned points of
reference. Fish came on a #9 Hot Steel Rap and a Riley Special spoon
(refer to picture). Surface temp was 59 degrees and hardly any weeds. I
quit around 10:00 am when the whitecaps started showing up on the river.
Couple of interesting things about this morning. First there were no junk
fish, all I caught were walleye. The bottom fish in the picture turned out
to be a female. (Click HERE
for picture) Last but not least, when I got home my cooler
had a bunch of dead 1 inch minnows in it. So much for fishing big lures
this time of year.

walleye. Kept 2, lost 2 and threw back 2 small ones. I also caught about 2
dozen smallmouth ranging in size from 3 to 10 inches. The big surprise of
the day was the Steelhead I lost. Jump, splash, roll, gone. He hit and
orange and brass spoon on my short lead as I was pulling it up. The
walleye came on a #11 Clown and a #9 GFR Rapala. Water was a little dirty,
a few floating weeds and a couple of logs floating downstream. Surface
temp was 65 degrees.
Sept 25 - Jason Miller Went to
Wheatley 9-24-11 and fished for a couple of hours. Tried all of my
waypoints, nothing !!! Then tried all depths of water 60 to 15 fow. We
drove around most of the time looking for fish on the sonar. We didn't
mark anything no fish or bait anywhere!! Water was clear, wind was outta
the south 4 to 5 footers by time we were done. And we did stop at the
leamington boat ramp and talked to some locals, no walleye everybody was
perch fishing, and only about five cars in the lot. Looks like its time to
save some money and wait for the walleye in Huron !!!
Sept 23- Richard Flake Went
handlining on the Trenton Channel from 4:00 PM to 8:00 Pm. The action was
slow. Caught two eyes 18 and 20 inches about 10 minutes apart, using

smallies.

results, but fared well on a good number of jumbo perch, taken on the
Lake.

manage 2 walleye, 10 farm animals, 1 perch. THAT'S IT. Tried everything:
harnesses at 0.9 to 1.7 mph. every color blade and bead pattern. Then
tried jets and mini disc with spoons at 1.7 to 2.2 nothing on them but a
perch. Both fish came on a harness 28' back over 18 fow @ 1.0 mph. Talked
to other boats on the radio and three was the best i heard all morning.

wind all night, didn't mark anything on the graph all day.

bow and 2 eyes from that area). Spoons: Capt. Nicks rainbow trout, Jerry
Lee, and Greasy chicken. Then started fishing our way back to the harbor
before the storm, we ended up trolling 1 oz. inlines with meat. We caught
the last bow on a 1 oz. inline 69 back going 0.9mph (Greasy Chicken
Blade). Had to cut it a little short with the storms that rolled in,
started to get the walleye going in about 50 f.o.w. straight out from the
harbor. All and all good day.

threw back more than that!!! Started around 9 and were headed in at

limit and must have had around 20 walleyes on that day (including 4 or 5
short ones). Using bottom bouncers with gold and or chartruse blades.
Because of north winds making us move to fast, switching to Indiana blades
from Colorado blades in the afternoon made the difference.

off the point. About a 120 heading 6.5 miles from port. Caught em 35-45
