    First trip for walleye. Only got 16 for the day. Slow start due to cold water. 55 degrees on top and 52 degrees at 25 feet down. We were marking fish, but they didn't ...more bite. We would find pockets of fish and pickup two or three, but when you go back over the same spot they would be gone. Bagley bang-o deep diver 75 and 100 feet back and 5 color with renoskys shallow divers were the best. I heard 40 feet of water is a better bite. That's where I would try next.

    I would like to welcome myself into the 30 inch club. People that say walleye don’t fight, have not seen a 30 inch one.

    9 lb. 31 in. Walleye

      That's nice Ray. I was just fishing where the Huron River comes in about two weeks ago. Working on another video from there. You probably recognize the areas ...more of lot of these videos. https://rumble.com/c/RJBassFishing
      I haven't gotten the one done from a couple weeks ago yet.

      I’m right at the mouth of Lake Erie at the south end of the Detroit River, I’m lucky and get to fish just about everyday
    3. Rick Vogelbacher 0
      Classic lure. Nice. The Jitterbugs still catch them too and people don't use them much anymore. Keep up the good work. I think we fish lot of the same areas. ...more I fish Erie on the Michigan side from Toledo all the way up to the Detroit River. Some great water there. Most of the time it's much better than the Ohio side.

      It’s an old one Rick, bought 15 or 20 years ago in Hillman Mich
