Captain Art's thought for the day - finally some walleye!!!

Finally after a slow start for the year we are able to bring in some respectable walleye catches!! I guess the last few years have spoiled us again on Lake Erie with limit catches in short order being the rule rather than the exception. Not so for 2009.

We have had somewhat strange weather and conditions since ice-out on the big lake. I guess those were contributing factors to what has been going on with the walleye fishing.....very slow. Most days we had single digit catches with the good days into the teens. That was of course until last Tuesday (June 23rd) That was the day which was the turning point for the season in Ashtabula Ohio. Finally decent walleye numbers were within reasonable geographic reach of the harbor.

Over the last week we have had a few limit catches with other days of walleye numbers in the high teens or twenties. I hope the season will continue to be at least that good. We have some weekday dates available so if anyone is interested visit the web and give us a call.

Until then, good friends, calm seas and tight lines - God bless America
