The bite has been hit and miss, but water temps are on the rise, which should make the bite more active.
Things are really starting to warm up and summer patterns are becoming more consistent. A lot of bass are biting and the walleyes are still playing (somewhat) nice. Some transitional things happening.
It’s all catfish all the time around Ohio’s lakes and reservoirs right now. Plus, Lake Erie yellow perch should turn on in July.
With the heat, time to take advantage of that early-morning bite. Smallmouth bass are piling up and the top-water game is on.
Red has been the color of the week for baits – and in a big way.
Run the line along your boat at a 45-degree angle. If in relatively shallow water, run the lure about a foot off the bottom and set the hook quickly after the walleye strikes.
Fish are trying to move into summer patterns but still playing hooky.
The weather continues to cooperate, as do the walleyes. Starting to show signs of switching to more of a “summer-type” of pattern.
