Wow !  Red sky warning ⚠️ 

The Niagara is a mess. The water off Wilson and from Sumerset -East looks okay. 

Heads up boys. 

The satellite image doesn’t look bad from today. 

Dog clips and pinchpad releases for the wind 

Get ‘em. 

Good morning. Despite the light South winds forecasted for Sunday, between the 16’ waves today and tomorrow, the lake will probably be unfishable. I drove by the upper Niagara and it is a river of mud already. Save your gas money. 

Like the eclipse, Rob’s smile comes out every 100 years. Congrats on a great two days. 
 

Sounds like a King buffet Dr Weidel!  I love good news. 

Well holy crap!

Any stomach contents to report?

One of the guys kept a couple but didn’t check stomach. They were pooping so they were eating. There is some bait at the mouth and a little near where we were fishing. Birds working also. 

They were in typical gear wrecking spring mode!

Found some kings to play with on top of the drop. Spoon bite. The fish look great this year. Biggest was 17 lbs on Boga Scale

I use the Olcott Buoy data before I leave the house. I look at the hourly forecast on Weather.com for the port am fishing. It there is any sort of front moving up East of the lake, expect windier than predicted NE winds on the water. 

Spawning pattern and location right now. The areas of fish concentrations are the Detroit and Maumee Rivers plus the Bass Islands. Fish slide East post spawn. Lots of guides out of Port Clinton to help you.

The trophy picture would be to be holding a king with the eclipse happening in the background. 

Reports from last year can help you learn for this April. 
 

Found this link. Helpful hints inside. 
 

We ended mid afternoon one shy of a three man limit. Instead of pounding GPS marks today, we did a little exploring of some of the structure around the islands hoping to learn more about this area that is new to us. Today’s catch was a better class of fish. Probably better we didn’t get the last fish because it pushed us into new water plus we couldn’t close the lid on the cooler with what we had. The program all weekend was seven board lines with scatter rap taildancers or deep bandits plus two slide divers with northport nailer wild thing spoons tipped with crawlers. Board lines were either run clean or snap weighted with 1-2ozs of weight. That will do it for walleye until this summer for this salmon fisherman. Back to Lake Ontario for now!

8 fish in and wind switched hard out of East. Singing the East wind blues now.
