Fresh Catawba Island Fishing Reports

Had an awsome afternoon/night trip with these two from Wisconsin. They've been fishing multiple days in their own rig but decided yesterday to go out in the hews and stay alittle drier. The bite is absolutely amazing with these chunky walleye. We tried for a weigh fish but just couldn't do it. The biggest maybe 5.5 lbs. It's still awsome watching these fish hit the floor. We are truly blessed with the fishery we have. Bandits 25bk potatoe bread and a new color They brought along, had silver and orange, I should've took a picture of it cause it was definitely a fish catcher.

The walleye are definatly putting on the feed bags . Many people from shore and boat are pulling in quality fish in the 3-7lb range while looking for that one fall brawl walleye to cash a check. We were out yesterday from 1pm until dark and boated well over 40 walleye ranging anywhere from 3.5lbs to 7.5lbs. I truly believe if we had stayed later into the darkness, the one double digit walleye we have been looking for would've showed herself.

Made a run out of huron this afternoon, Little bumpy but not bad. Had Darryl and Mike, a couple local boys come in to boat some eyes. The first slide east of the dump yielded zero. The second slide west of the dump yielded 12, thought about making another pass but decided to keep going on in to the light. Mistake! We couldn't buy a bite once it got dark. 75bk was the best

The walleye are ramping up this fall. November should be the best fishing we have seen in quite some time! Ran a short trip early this morning with a client from central Ohio and she was happy as could be with the results. I was just as happy as she was catching what we did giving the stiff n.w. Winds pushing in 4 foot rollers. We made one pass downwind pulling bandits set at 35back and was able to land 3 and lost one tanker at the net. Was gonna make another pass but decided against beating the waves back up so we beat the waves back down to the huron lighthouse and back to the ramp we went. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my birthday today, Rollin with the rollers! Awsome!

Had an another awsome family of 4 from Oklahoma swing in to try their hand on the big lake. Jada and her family all got to crank up their first ever walleye. The bite was slow for us this evening but we still managed 10 for the skillet. Awsome company! Awsome Time!!

The usual ruffness on the big lake this morning but we played it safe in the bay. Had a couple from West Virginia celebrating their wedding anniversary and was bound and determined to fish no matter what. I gave them my only option at landing a walleye and to my surprise it payed off. We put four in the box and lost two more half way in. I was completely happy for these two givin these terrible blows here lately.
