Lots of boats fishing Alter rd. About 50 - 100 yards from the wall. everyone getting fish from what I could see. We picked up 9 nice sized eye's. I got 6 on black plastic Wyandotte Worm with stinger, so plastics are in. Hopefully no more live bait needed, but I'm sure that the muddy water made black the hot color for the day. Was a great day on the water with Neil and Mike as usual. Bumped into some familiar faces. Huntingmaniac, great to see you again. And finally met Ahartz. About time eh! :lol: Happened to be right next to Andy just as he hooked this hog. Nice fish!!!
 

 
Here's our 9 fish.I'll say it again today. The fish are definately bigger on average this year. Lets just hope for a good hatch again and the DR will be kicking ass for years to come.:coolgleam

Nice going guys.

Nice going. 

The DNR said the conditions are right for a successful spawn this year. I hope that with all the egg filled females that I've seen & heard of guys keeping that it doesn't hurt too much.

What have you seen?

I hope to get out Sunday morning for a few hours.

I've seen guys at the docks & on the river putting females full of eggs into their live wells or coolers. I also saw plenty of pictures of guys with them in posts on various sites. They have every right to keep them but it's sad to see that happen.

How can they have a right to keep them if there out of season? They can't.

Walleye Greg, not bass.

Makes sence. With all the years of eye fishing going on and the millions of fish I can't see any harm being done.

Think about the commercial fisherman.

Actually the commercial fisherman limits have be reduced for this year in Lake Erie because of the declining walleye population.

I've read & been told that in a few years the SCR will have a better spring run for walleyes (with relation to size) than the DR. Lake Erie's population has been on the decline due to the poor spawning & over harvest in the last 10 years (except 2003).
