Sounds like a good day. Too bad yours were small. Good eating size though!

We had a great day, rain and wind all day. Just picked away at them.
Fished out of a Wellcraft 29 Coastal, nice platform to fish from, especially in inclement weather. Not use to cozy conditions on the F-20.

I'm assuming you stayed on the Canukistani side all day?

We stationed on Thursday afternoon and pulled out Sunday afternoon. Just a beautiful port, well space is awesome, great staff and a gorgeous town. Hoping to hit Wheatley some time next week, they have a tourney starting this weekend. Going to give the green 800's ago once this wind settles down.

I always thought Leamington was a great little getaway spot. Has a nice "towny" feel to it. If you're into tourneys, have you ever been on this site? http://www.wbsa.us

Nice haul of walleyes!

We have them in some of the mountain lakes down here, but not that big.

They're right around the corner from me. they run a few tourneys every year and they have a "public" area that they post tourney info in.

Fishing has finally slowed down a bit for me. we still have been doing decent but not limits almost everyday.

weve been doing well numbers wise in the skinny water between lorain and vermilion, but most all fish have been small.

we fished the south end of the sandbar a few days and the number of fish we caught hasnt been great but the quality has. we fished for about 2.5 or 3 hours sunday and ended up with 6 fish for 2 of us but all 6 made Fish Ohio with the smallest just over 28in

next nice day weather wise that i have off will probably result in a run to the Buoy to see how its going out there

Seems like this year is the year for big eyes. I wonder if it is because of the winter and the cool weather this year?
