Fishing with Joe and Adam 5/31/18

by Capt Juls on 05/31/18

I left the house at 4:45 this morning and headed to Rickard's for some ice and some #11 Flicker Minnows, before hitting Speedway for some gas. I know, I know, I have enough cranks, but I only have one box of Flickers, and they had some colors I didn't already have. lol


My crew was meeting me at Walmart at 5:30, so we could ride over to Huron together. They were right on time...in fact, a touch early, so that was even better.
The forecast was calling for gusty winds up to 30mph out of the SSW, so I felt it would be a better option over there, since there are so many fish near shore right now.  However, those winds never showed up, and it turned out to be a beautiful day on the lake this morning. The waves were 1 foot or less, and there was a nice breeze to keep it cooler, since it was a little humid still.

We launched a little before 6am and was out of the river by 6:07.   We marked fish just about everywhere, so I chose an area that was over 30-32' of water and set the Flickers out at 45, 50, and 55 back. Our speed was 2.1-2.4mph. The first spot was nothing but Sheepshead...some of them trophy sized...so, we moved to another area in the same depth. The marks that the Helix was showing us were incredible, and I crossed my fingers that they were walleye instead of farm animals.....and, they were.

Same program/same speed....resulted in sort of "dance" in the back of the Ranger with bodies moving forward and back and rods and nets rotating around like a synchronized swim team. lol

Joe has fished with me several times before, so he pretty much knew the routine, but needed a refresher course. Adam, however, has never fished with me, or fished with Off Shore boards before, and was  pretty quick to catch on to my instruction and routine.

It wasn't very often that we were able to get all 6 rods out at the same time...just like yesterday. The walleye were inhaling the Flickers, often taking both sets of hooks into their mouths.  

We finished off with our limit of 18 walleye and headed in. Both Joe and Adam said they had a good time and learned a lot....and, that makes me happy! :)

Tomorrow, I am fishing with a crew of three, and if we get our walleye early again, we plan on looking for some suicidal perch....woot! woot!

Stay tuned....
