Rainbows and Yeck Spoons Top Off My Year

yeckspoons The Best Rainbow Fishing Season I Remember

Yeck Spoons Rule

Well I remember posting quite some time ago that it appeared the rainbow fishing was setting up very nicely out of Wheatley. I would say that is turning out to be an under-statement. I went out again Saturday and took an older friend with me in the SS Minnow.

We had another great day and rainbows were there to be taken again. We really had a lot of fun and we had 21 fish on. As with that game we lost a bunch of them but we did manage to boat 9 rainbow trout and 5 walleye and most of the fish were big. I can’t ever remember the season going on so long and so consistent.

Nothing changed with my baits. As has been the case the whole season – I could have fished my 2 favorite colors of Yeck Spoons and my custon painted color that I call RDP. Yeck spoons are simply the best. Now I just need to convince them to paint my RDP and send me some  “Black Demons” and my my lure dreams have all come true.

Fishing Lake Erie

Fishing in Western Lake Erie is arguably the best all around fishing in the world. Things have been going quite well in the Wheatley area so far this year.

Fishing Lake Erie

I have had a lot of fun the last couple of weeks. Although I have caught fish the last seven trips out, Saturday morning I GOT SKUNKED. See Jason, (one of my readers just getting into the fishing game) it happens to everyone. I don’t know if I need to move away from my little favorite spot. Last I heard, rainbow fishing was slow Saturday morning but they were catching a few more 8-10 miles east of there. I may need to run east next trip but the location I have been fishing in my S.S. Minnow at 4.5 miles out was really handy. Stay tuned – lots of Wheatley rainbow fishing to come!

Walleye Leamington June 12 2011

Walleye fishing is here on the north shore of lake Erie near Leamington. This nice box of fish was caught a few miles west of Leamington on Sunday. The largest was 27 inches long and there were a few JUMBO perch in the box as well. These fish were caught using bottom bouncers in 24 feet of water. About 3 ounces of lead and 1.8 mph with about 50 feet of line out.

There were reports that pink/purple combinations were catching fish as well.

In the pictures are my son Trevor Henricks and his 77 year old father-in-law, Ernie Grant. Ernie fishes more days each year than most charter fishermen and lives to go moose hunting in which he fully participates every year.
