The number of good walleyes being caught has definitely decreased because of the heat, but hopefully, expected cooler temps will improve the bite.
Fishing is in summer patterns and the bite has been pretty good across much of the state.
Anglers are turning muskies on inland Ohio reservoirs and the area southeast of Kelleys Island has been a popular spot for walleye trollers on Lake Erie.
“Tackle” Terry Tuma suggests using different plastics, varying their size, color, length, and vibration pattern. Use a firm rod to get a good hook set.
The bite continues to go well in most area lakes. Water temps are well into the 70s and the algae bloom has started in some lakes, so keep that in mind when deciding what bait
Find the rocks/hard bottom in the mid-depth weeds and you’ll catch fish.
We’ve been finding a lot of fish, but the patterns have been back and forth. Some keys tactics are working, and finally some much-needed rain.
Some information on the bite this past week and how things are looking as we move into July.
Transitioning into some traditional summertime fishing patterns.
Rather than charging it after each use, let it run down at least 50 percent, helping to preserve the life of the battery.
