Lots of Fish Ohio's
 
 
Walleye are still going great. We have seen a lot of Fish Ohio’s (28” or bigger) in the last two weeks. The weather has been good for fishing. We have been able to fish every day since the middle of April. We only missed two days in April this year. Spinners and night crawlers are the bait of choice. The hot spot is around West Sister Island.

30.8" Walleye
 
 
The big front slowed the bite for a couple days. It is back on now! Some boats were limited out by 9 AM yesterday. Sea Breeze Charters pulled a 30.8” walleye to recapture the leader board for May big fish contest. Bob Harris caught it while onboard the # 4 boat with Capt. Jim. If it holds for the rest of the month Bob will be $100 richer. If it holds for the year Bob will be $600 richer. Wild Wings Marina puts this contest every year. Our clients have cashed in many times.

Best Spring Ever
 
 
Walleye fishing is still great! This is the best spring that we have ever had. The weather has been great and the walleye have been hungry. We have had some trophy small mouth bass too.
 
 
5/2/2006 7:59:07 AM
LIMIT CHANGE TO SIX
 
 
Yesterday the limit on walleye went from 4 to 6. We had all of our fish by 9am. Some in the 5lb range. We are still using the hair jigs with no bait. Drifting and bouncing them on the bottom about 1- 2 miles from our marina is the ticket.

Outdoor Show
 
 
The last 3 weeks have been awesome! I took out Don from Illinois Outdoors today and we taped a great show. We had some doubles and triples on film along with some 4 to 5 pound walleye. We took enough fish for a limit in less than an hour. Then we did some catch en release. The lake was calm. I can’t wait to see the film.
 
 
4/16/2006 3:57:12 PM
HAPPY EASTER
 
 
Walleye fishing is GREAT. My boat took a limit in about 20 minutes today. Lots of 4 to 5 lb fish are showing up now. The East wind picked up mid morning but all of the boats that got an early start did well. Weather looks good for this upcoming week.

OVER 200 WALLEYE A DAY
 
 
I have been so busy fishing I have not had time to give a report. Last week the Leopold brothers fished with Capt. Dan and boated over 200 walleye a day. Capt. Chris has had all of his fish every morning this week in less than an hour. We are still catching nice 3 to 4 lb fish less than a mile from the marina. This means no running time!
 
 
3/30/2006 10:03:59 PM
LOTS OF NICE WALLEYE
 
 
Walleye fishing is great. We have had early limits the last couple days. We have taken a lot of nice walleye in the 4 to 5 lb range. Fishing less than a mile from the marina.
 
 
3/26/2006 9:31:18 PM
The Sea Breeze Boats are in the water!!!!!!
 
 
We are back in the water after a long winter. Some of the Sea Breeze Team have caught walleye over the last several days. Some big ones are starting to get hungry. The weather looks great for this week. Walleyes will get even more active in the early part of this week.
 
 
9/4/2005 12:20:58 PM
Walleye and Small Mouth are starting to turn on
 
 
Perch are still very active. The walleye and small mouth are starting to turn on. Cool nights are slowly lowering the water temperature.
 
 
8/11/2005 5:14:45 PM
Yellow Perch Limits
 
 
We are taking limits of yellow perch almost every day. Walleye are slow due to unusually hot weather this summer. They will turn on as soon as it cools off a bit.
 
 
7/17/2005 11:47:26 AM
Lots of Walleye
 
 
Still catching lots of walleye. Most of them are 14.5” to 15.5”. Yesterday I took 2 guys out and we caught about 40 walleye and had 16 nice keepers.
 
 
6/28/2005 7:48:44 PM
LIMIT OF WALLEYE
 
 
Capt. Ron (Sea Breeze Too) took a limit of nice walleye today with a family from Illinois. Capt. Tom (Sea Breeze Six) boated a 27.5-inch walleye today. All of the walleye were caught casting weapons.
 
 
6/26/2005 6:56:17 PM
Bass Season is open
 
 
Bass season opened yesterday. We have been taking some nice ones. Lots of them are in the 3.5 to 5 lb. Range. Walleye have slowed down do to the mayflies but we expect them to pick up within the week.
 
 
6/20/2005 10:41:30 AM
40 - 100 WALLEYE A DAY
 
 
Walleye fishing has been great the last couple weeks. We have been catching between 40 and 100 per day. Most of them are from the 2003-year class. I have never seen so many fish in one-year class. A lot of these fish are 14 to 15 inches. It will be awesome when they get a little bigger. We have had a lot of big ones too. Capt. Ron took a 30-inch trophy Saturday. The Sheep head are hungry too!
 
 
6/1/2005 4:38:36 PM
White Bass are HOT
 
 
The weather is great again today. All the boats are averaging between 20 and 30 walleye per day. The white bass are hot. You could catch 100lbs. A day if you want too. We use twister tails and catch then almost every cast.
 
 
5/29/2005 5:01:23 PM
31.25-inch Walleye
 
 
We landed a 31.25-inch walleye yesterday. We have had at least one over 28 inches for 6 days in a row. We have had lots of happy fisherman in the last couple weeks.
 
 
5/25/2005 4:35:57 PM
Walleye over 28 inches
 
 
Fishing is getting back to normal after some cool weather moved in last week. We have had walleye over 28 inches for the last 3 days. Most boats are averaging 25 to 35 keeper walleye per day.
 
 
5/20/2005 9:13:19 PM
Lots of 4lb Walleye
 
 
The last week has been good for the most part. We are still taking lots of 4lb plus walleye. It was windy today but the forecast is good for the weekend.
 
 
5/10/2005 9:48:11 PM
Great Weather
 
 
Fishing is still good. The weather has been great for a long time. We are working for the walleye and taking limits on and off. Our biggest walleye was 6 pounds today.
 
 
5/3/2005 1:32:14 PM
All Sea Breeze Boats Limited Early
 
 
Waves were less than 2 foot. It was a prefect walleye chop. We took a boat limit of 42 walleye today on my boat. All of the Sea Breeze Boats limited out early today. They are still biting on jigs and minnows about a mile from the marina.
 
 
5/1/2005 8:43:08 PM
Walleye Limit is 6 per person
 
 
Walleye limit went up to 6 per person per day today. We had limit catches on several of our boats. The weatherman was wrong again, it turned out to be a nice weekend on Lake Erie.
 
 
4/28/2005 9:53:49 PM
Great Walleye Fishing
 
 
The last couple days have been great for walleye. It has been cool but the walleye are still biting. It looks like another good day tomorrow.
 
 
4/26/2005 8:35:38 PM
45 minute limit
 
 
We fished this afternoon about one mile from the marina. We took our limit of walleye in about 45 minutes. The biggest was about 5 pounds. The water clarity was good.
 
 
4/24/2005 11:15:19 AM
Windy!
 
 
Friday was great fishing but the wind started blowing from the Northeast in the afternoon. We canceled the weekend. Hopefully everyone can reschedule.
 
 
4/20/2005 10:25:10 PM
LIMIT BY 7AM
 
 
We had another fantastic day of walleye fishing on Lake Erie. We captured our limit of walleye before 7AM. The biggest today was 7lbs. Still fishing only a mile from the marina.
 
 
4/19/2005 10:02:27 PM
31 inch Walleye & a 5 lb. Bass
 
 
We had all our fish today in less than a half hour. Catch n release was the program after that. We fished within 1 mile of our marina. Jigs & minnows were the ticket. The day was topped off with a 31inch 11lb. walleye & a 20-inch 5lb. small mouth bass. They are both going to the taxidermist.
 
 
4/18/2005 2:21:49 PM
LIMIT CATCHES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR
 
 
We have had limit catches of walleye in less than an hour the last few days. We spend the rest of the day catch n release. Some groups have handled over 100 fish per day. The water is flat calm now and the weatherman is promising us 80 degrees tomorrow.
 
 
4/6/2005 8:34:30 AM
Great Weather
 
 
The weather has been great recently and so has the walleye fishing. Limit catches are no problem. We have seen a couple of trophies too.
 
 
4/3/2005 10:28:21 AM
WALLEYE ARE STARTING TO BITE
 
 
We have had a couple good days this week. We limited on 3 to 5 lb. Walleye with no problem. The best thing is they are biting about a ˝ mile from our marina in 8 foot of water. Yesterday it was too windy to fish. We are holding off this morning in hopes that this afternoon we can get back on the water.
 
 
3/18/2005 10:21:15 PM
Spring is here
 
 
Ice fishing was great this year. The lake is open out front of the marina, but some chunks of ice are still floating around. Our marina has a lot of ice on it, but we should be able to get the boats in the water next week. Some nice walleye have been caught this week around A can. This year’s outlook is great with the 2003 hatch coming into play mid summer. We will still catch the quality walleye that you have gotten used to along with lots of hungry good eaters.
 
 
10/31/2004 11:19:08 AM
Done for this year
 
 
I pulled the boats out yesterday. We planed on fishing a couple more days but Mother Nature had other ideas. It is time to go duck hunting anyway. We will be catching BIG walleye starting mid March. See you then!!!!!
 
 
10/4/2004 12:18:36 PM
Fall bite is on
 
 
Fall fishing has been Great. We have had some tough days but we have also had some days that we caught a limit of Perch & a limit of Walleye too. We moved our boats to Huron, Ohio. It is a 30 min. car ride. Lots better than a 2hr boat ride. Some years it is a better fall bite in that deep water. This is one of those years. I still have boats in our marina fishing for Small mouth bass. The bass fishing has also been good the last couple weeks.
 
 
8/18/2004 10:09:36 AM
Best fishing of the year
 
 
This is the best August ever! We are having the best fishing of the year right now. The walleye seem to be moving closer to the marina too. It looks like the walleye my stay active through fall.
 
 
8/9/2004 9:16:43 AM
Great Weather

 
The weather is almost too nice. The water temperature is a little cooler than normal. This should keep the fish active longer into the season. Our limit catch of walleye weighed in at 85 lbs today.
 
 
7/28/2004 10:57:29 AM
Great Fishing
 
 
We have had some windy cool days for the end of July. Walleye fishing is still great! The yellow perch are starting to fire up too. I predict Aug. will be a great fishing month.
 
 
7/17/2004 4:22:55 PM
We are on a roll
 
 
Fishing is back to normal. Our boats took limit catches of walleye the last couple days. We are averaging 2-3 lbs. I think we are back on a roll!
 
 
7/9/2004 9:49:53 AM
Mayflies have backed off
 
 
Fishing has been up & down since my last report. I have been fishing every day sometimes 14hrs. Then my computer went on the fritz. I think the mayflies finally backed off. We took limits of walleye on all my boats yesterday morning. The temperatures look like they are going to be normal for the weekend.
 
 
6/18/2004 9:58:59 PM
GREAT FISHING WEATHER
 
 
Things are looking up for this weekend. I took 34 walleye this morning. Some boats didn’t do as well. Hopefully the walleye are getting sick of mayflies. Despite the afternoon thunderstorms, we have not missed a day on the lake since May 2nd. Some years Mother Nature would have kept us at the dock 2 or 3 days by now.
 
 
6/15/2004 8:51:47 PM
Mayflies 
 
 
Mayflies are everywhere, I can’t remember seeing so many of the carcasses on the water. Walleyes are gorging themselves on them. This has taken a toll on the catch rate the last couple days. This should not last very long.
 
 
6/10/2004 5:44:33 PM
NEW 34' BAHA CAT
 
 
Today Sea Breeze Three had a boat limit by 9:15 Am. I took a 30” walleye onboard the Sea Breeze 5 boat today. Yes, that’s right we added another boat to the fleet. It is a 34’ Baha Cat. I have been fishing all day and rigging the NEW boat the rest of the night. Hopefully I will be more up to date with the reports in the future.
 
 
5/30/2004 5:38:36 PM
GREATEST TRIP EVER
 
 
Walleye fishing is phenomenal. We have been catching nice fish everyday. A long time client told me today, “this is the greatest Lake Erie trip ever”. One of our boxes of walleye (36 fish) weighed in at 112lbs.
 
 
5/23/2004 9:49:11 AM
ONE DRIFT LIMITS
 
 
Walleye fishing is great. The white perch & drum are starting to get active now too. One of the Sea Breeze boats took a boat limit on one drift yesterday afternoon.
 
 
5/20/2004 7:20:00 PM
More limits
 
 
It has been great since my last update. We are still catching limits of NICE WALLEYE. We have been catching them on bottom bouncers and harnesses or weapons tipped with night crawlers.
 
 
5/14/2004 10:22:53 AM
BOAT LIMITS
 
 
Walleye fishing has been up & down for a week or so. Yesterday they started feeding again. We took boat limits yesterday! This looks like a great weekend coming up.
 
 
5/9/2004 10:43:53 AM
Happy Mothers Day
 
 
We have been averaging 20 fish per trip the last couple days. A lot of 4 to 5 lb walleye & some 4lb bass are starting to show up too.
 
 
5/5/2004 7:27:07 PM
Nice Walleye
 
 
Limit catches of nice 3-4lb walleye today. We fished 2miles from the marina. It has been cool on the lake but it looks like warmer weather is coming.
 
 
4/30/2004 6:17:55 PM
Limit goes to 6 tomorrow

 
The walleye were hungry again today! The limit goes to 6 per person (no possession) tomorrow. A walleye limit of 6 will not change till March 1st.
 
 
4/30/2004 9:56:39 AM
Slow

 
Yesterday was our first really tough day. Hard southwest winds made the boats drift too fast. The waves were small since we fished close to shore.
 
 
4/27/2004 9:46:21 PM
More great walleye fishing
 
 
We have had some tough weather but, the fishing has been GREAT all week!
 
 
4/23/2004 9:11:18 AM
Illinois Outdoors
 
 
We taped a fishing show with Illinois Outdoors Tuesday. We fished close to home again. Plenty of 3 to 5 lb. Walleye. It has been a great spring so far.
 
 
4/19/2004 10:20:44 PM
Windy 
 
 
The weekend was great! We caught lots of nice walleye. Gary Garth & his 13 year old daughter fished with us the over the weekend. It was hard to talk Sara in to going home. Today winds of 30mph plus kept us off the lake. The forecast looks good.
 
 
4/16/2004 2:45:17 PM
warm 75 degrees!
 
 
We caught our limit in one hour today. We sorted the rest of the day and our biggest was 291/2”.
 
 
4/15/2004 8:29:46 PM
Weekend is looking GREAT
 
 
Windy weather slowed the bite down some the last couple days. Nice weather today brought clearer water and lots of walleye. Looks like a great weekend coming up.
 
 
4/11/2004 9:21:19 PM
HAPPY EASTER
 
 
Walleye averaging 3 to 5 lb. were the norm the last few days. Limits have been taking less than one hour. We took a 32” walleye yesterday. We have had several other big ones too. Today the weather slowed the bite down some. My first boat to limit out was Sea Breeze Three @ 10am. I will take that any day! The walleye are within one mile of our marina.
 
 
4/8/2004 10:58:35 AM
Walleye Walleye Walleye
 
 
Despite some windy days, we are still catching limits of walleye everytime we go out. We caught several BIG ones too. I expect it to get even better soon!
 
 
3/30/2004 2:16:33 PM
We are catching walleye
 
 
We have been limiting out with about a 5lb average on walleye. This has been going on for about a week. If you like to jig fish or blade bait for walleye, NOW is the time come to Lake Erie.
 
 
3/5/2004 10:22:02 AM
Lake Erie is open water
 
 
West winds of up to 45mph and temps to 70 today will take care of the little ice that was left. As soon as the wind dies boats will hit the water. Years like this usally produce TROPHY WALLEYE the end of March & April.
 
 
2/10/2004 9:49:20 AM
Lake Erie is 95% ice

 
The ice is very unsafe do to ice cutters. Some fishermen with airboats are having limited success( 1 or 2 fish). We will start fishing as soon as the ice breaks up. The end of March and April is the time to catch TROPHY WALLEYE.
