Last night the casting bite was awesome once I figured out what they were after. Who would have thought this overly simple presentation would be the ticket… Some days we have to go back to basics.
is cool.

Good morning friends,
Most of us have talked about this on the boat, but I haven’t really published here. A couple years back I started a project creating planer board lights for nighttime trolling for walleye. That random idea has spawned a series of different products in a various industries, so if you get a chance, take a look at all the things my family, friends, and I are making. We’re making it all in Edinboro, PA. Everything can be found at www.lakeeffect3d.com. Give a follow at Lake Effect 3d. Thank you!

Magnetic planer board lights, Fixed mount planer board lights, Planer board releases, rod racks, Bow Racks, Storage Hooks. Curtain hold backs, custom wall art, custom wall signs.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time!
I had the pleasure of some regular and some new guests together for Tuesday and Wednesday this week. We were met with a beautiful lake that I can only be grateful for.
Mild temperatures, a calm lake, minimal bugs and fantastic fishing.
I couldn’t be happier with how the season is setting up.
We had a great time telling jokes and reeling. Regular doubles and a triple during a FaceTime call colored these two days. 🎣🎣😂
It’s time to get on the water. Make sure you pick up some worms! They are on fire!

Day one began with an empty parking lot and a beautiful lake. The crazy fog from Monday hampered my scouting a bit so we struck out to deeper ground and better fishing from past experience and a little prayer. Marking Fish at speed is a superpower on board and it wasn’t long until my graph showed me what was looking for. We set up quickly and started catching just as quickly. It was definitely a May screen, but a June bite at times it seemed like we were waiting for bites, but at the end of the day the 24th Fish hit the net after only a few hours of fishing what a fantastic day.
Day two had a similar start, my research from the night before and our experience from the day before, said that we were on one of the best bites of anyone I knew. We headed for the same grounds and we set up a little bit shallower as the sun was rising. The first Fish was on the line before the rods were set and there wasn’t a dull moment all morning. What a blessing to have such a great morning.

Late launch to avoid the rain, but it didn’t matter today, back after it on the “lakeye” grounds. 😂😂🎣🎣🦕🦕

It’s hard to imagine we accidentally caught their limit of walleye in addition to all the lakers…
Maybe we should call this lakeye season 😳😂
We’re just getting started! Let’s go!!

Better by the… Bakers dozen ☺️😂

In the morning, we were met with the thickest blanket of fog I’ve seen on Lake Erie in a long time, maybe ever… but, we took our time and we made our way to where I had a couple quick catches just the day before. I was further west than I would have liked, but I knew there was going to be a crowd to my east… I set up the gear with high hopes and proceeded to catch nothing for the better part of an hour, so much for plan A 🤦🏼‍♂️
Just as I threatened the fish with pulling all of our gear and running east to where I finished up the day before we hooked up, we landed that fish after a short tussle. That was just enough to keep us interested for about 20 more minutes until I pulled the gear and ran about 1.5 miles over there anyway.

Once there, we were in some boat traffic, but picked up a few more fish. They were spotty but we were moving rods, so that felt great.
From there we hit another dead patch, so I made some direction changes and that was the game changer we needed. We hit some slightly deeper water and then it was great. We pulled two doubles and some more singles once we found that line. At the end of the day we had gone 13 for 15 on lakers and added a touch of sunburn and some sore face muscles from all the laughs.

So, When you take pasta to eat on your boat, but you aren't smart enough to bring cutlery... You improvise, I mean, it's called a spoon right? So, as I'm admiring my "redneckedness" and capturing this photo to impress you all with how refined I am, I glance up at my live scope and can see my cowbells climbing off the bottom with a fish swimming behind them... Yeah, we've got a... FISH ON! SO, I'm solo, about to enjoy my lunch with high performance utensils and now it's game time. At the end of the madness, I was lucky enough to have the the first slimy dino of the season hit the deck of . Time to get after it tomorrow.

Yes folks, we're ready 😁🎣🐟 If you don't already have your dates for dinos grab them quickly I only have a few left.
