Watch out walleyes...we got your poison!

Had an awesome day pulling Reef Runners.  Managed more than 20 walleyes over 7lbs...with a couple bruisers mixed in!  One was so aggressive he came at me after doing laps in the livewell for a hour or so.  A handful of dates are still left for the prime fall bite, holla if you're interested.

The Big Girls are Back and Hungry

Switched gears slightly and went back to the old reliable Silver Streak spinners. Apparently the walleyes thought they were candy, as we caught a lot of fish....and big ones!  The fall bite is definitely in swing and will only get better if the weather stays decent. This weekend is suppose to blow like a hurricane, but the southerly direction shouldn't make recovery a week long affair.

As good as the bite was, color made all the difference.  Five out of the six lines ended up with the same Silver Streak Pattern, the sixth was a experimental that never caught them like the "go to" color.  Hard to believe on such a strong bite that color makes such a difference.

Spent the day speed trolling Reef Runner's with a couple buddies.  While its not exactly time to put away the spinners, the cranks are getting better each and everyday.  I'm really looking forward to the fall bite kicking off.  A look at this pic and you might be able to argue that it already has.

Smallmouth Heaven

When My longtime friend and bass guru Bryan says "I think we can smash some smallies"...I grabbed a TV crew and headed out on the Great Lakes.  Everything went according to plan and the weather even cooperated. We cranked and tubed up a pile of smallies, a few of which were true trophies.  The show will air in about a month...stay tuned.

Bigwater Goes Global

We braved some nasty weather and rather large waves this week.  I have a new fishing friend that came all the way from Czechoslovakia to fish for walleyes.  He was a very well versed angler and was excited to use some of out Great lakes tactics on Zander.  I was amazed that he even knew what a bottom bouncer was.  The pic below was his first walleye.  We pulled spinners to start, but deep lil rippers were better in the turned up water.

I have to wait a bit on the crazy boat pics from last week, as they will be used in a HUGE catalog very soon!  A short video of this crazy day will soon follow.

Heads Up!

I just want to warn everyone that the next blog we post is going to blow your mind.  Today we did a photo shoot on Erie in 5 to 9ft waves.  The video and still pics will show you every angle of my Ranger 621...including the bottom.

Tough bite....not really!!!

The word on the street is that the Western basin walleye bite is tough, everyone is perching. Don't tell my crew that...we managed to put a smack down on them yet again.  Our first fish of the morning was almost 9lbs!  The crew did an awesome job. Yes we pulled a combo of UV and regular Silver Streak spinners yet again.
