Five walleye 20-23" 4.14# top one. all males, Black WW worm with white jig and red spot (looks like lipstick on it caught 3)and chartreuse Ice w/antifreeze jig caught 2. Also took 2 large sucker fish and several small mouth 12". No silvers. Didn't get the 2 man ticket today stopped at 11am, bite died. Worked area from mouth of Lake St. Clair to GM bldg. All on the US side. Pic of my 3 attached. Very healthy looking fish. LB

It looks like the fish came back to the American side today. Did the two man limit. WW black or brown with brown, antifreeze or yellow jig caught the most. Also, Chartreuse ice with antifreeze jig pulled the biggest 22" 3.59#. Lots of silver fish and several 12-14" smallies, great fighters! 35' depth from Belle Isle to just pass GM bldg. My limit in pic. Good Luck. LB

The wind was very strong. You could feel the blast as you went between the structures. Caught 8 lost another one at the boat today all males 16-23". The fish went home around 9:30. Had about 6 ft vis. I believe the girls may have made their run. LB

Thanks for the reply. I shall shorten up my leads and revisit my lure choices. Good luck on your fishing. LB

How shallow were you in for the browns? I was in about 6', but I snagged when my lines went slack. Do you use the thin fish (Brad's)? Any browns on spoons? LB

Nice Catch! What were your catching lure combinations? Did anyone get any browns in the area? LB

Punched 2 man ticket but had to move allot. 3/4 oz antifreeze jig with shiner minnow (plastic). Largest 9#-14oz. Males were running 19-23". Lots of boats out and anxious moments at the launch. Be COOL this weekend. Most of the ladies have spawned out. Catching more males now. Good luck. I don't fish weekends or holidays. May the force be with you? LB

Had a great day. Thought we had our ticket, but my partner miss counted. 14+ 1 coho?/steel head, what a surprise! I guess we need a better counting system. Biggest was 9.14#. We didn't have enough room in our cooler, which probably added to the problem. We even took the food and water out of the other cooler and filled it up with more fish...Such a problem one should have. My partners are still shy about being in the pictures. No live bait used. Line was freezing in guides. 3/4 oz. antifreeze with orange top jig and regular looking plastic minnow. LB

Quite a crowd out there today. All the ice is gone, but lots of sticks and stuff floating down the river. Got 10 today +2 perch with 3 guys (4-4-2) Biggest was 9 1/2 lbs. 29". Bite died off around 9:30. Watermelon WW with antifreeze jig. Everything using live minnows might have gotten more. I don't even want to be near this place this coming weekend. The perch hit the jigs just as hard as the walleye. I couldn't believe it. The bite has slowed a little since Weds. Good luck, LB

Punched a two man limit on the river yesterday. Great weather and the ice finally moved to the Canadian side The biggest was 9 1/2 lbs, 29 1/2". The smallest 3.7 lbs 22". The rest were between 7-8.6 lbs. It was like pulling up logs. When you thought you were caught on a snag, it was really a walleye. They don't really struggle when they are so large. Much different then the salmon and steel head that I caught off Holland last year. Used 3/4 oz jig (fire tiger) with a fin-s minnow pick your favorite. Also caught a small spotted muskie and released. A larger something hit my jig hard and took it to the front of the boat and I wasn't able to pull it up, before it spit it out. LB

Is it interference from your motor or how close you mounted it to the props/drive? I know they say it should be 15-17 inches I think. Or is there a wiring issue(i.e routing). When does it not read correctly?

I know the speed and temp fish hawks work well, but I haven't heard about the one with the depth option. That's the one I want to purchase. I have a Cannon speed, temp and depth, but the display go intermittent once I go pass 87'. I want to get away from the coated cable.

Has anyone bought one and what kind of results (i.e. good reading on depth, speed and temp or erratic) with them. I'm thinking about buying one.
