We tried. Man we tried. The last two weekends we had the boat loaded, gas in the tank, life insurance policy paid up, night crawlers acquired, and no go due to weather. Two derby tickets bought and zero time spent fishing it. Thankfully, deer hunting was good this year. Oh well, maybe with some thaws, the boat ramps can stay open.
End of May, first week in June fly-in trip would be the direction to go. If he wants to use his boat, the pike opener on the St Lawrence would be my second choice.
The does are trying to stay out of the woods where they are getting harassed by bucks. You find them bedded in the first cut of goldenrod on a field edge. They are making micro movements.
Been a tough grind finding walleye with any consistency from what I am hearing. I think the warm temps has delayed the migration westward and most of the fish are still spread out. Some bait is starting to show in Huron.
