August 4th report

Mike says that with surface temperatures stable and hovering around 78°, walleyes are being found around the outside edges of major weedbeds in bays like Hardy’s and Five Mile. Depths of 16’ seem to be ideal, and small jigs tipped with worms – a consistent pattern since late spring – is the best way to catch them. George Bush, Jr., still in camp, caught and released a five-pounder in the Five Mile Bay location.

Jim Mariano, also still in camp, was once again bested by two separate muskies in the Bob’s Bay area. He stayed with his Leo Jerkbait, and found the big fish interested, but not quite ready for a photo op!

The Folino family from Strongsville, OH caught a number of large and small-mouthed bass, a couple of which topped out at close to 5 lbs., in Marsh and Hardy Bay. Their lure of choice was an unnamed, ‘secret’ white crankbait.
