I pulled the boat Saturday afternoon in order to get some much needed cleaning and maintenance done before I drag the boat to New York next weekend for a week of salmon fishing on Lake Ontario. Today, I got the cabin detailed, a 2nd graph/screen installed, and the outside power washed before I called it quits for the night. Tomorrow evening I’ll work on detailing the exterior and getting the boat rigged for salmon fishing.

Mid-Week Update:
We arrived in Point Breeze on Sunday afternoon. After getting settled into our AirBnB we headed out for a couple hours in the evening for an evening shakedown. We finished with 3 decent Steelhead before pulling lines and heading back to port. Sunday morning was about as perfect as it can get. It took us a bit to find the fish, but once we did, it was chaos on the deck. We finished with 4 Kings and 8 Steelhead for a boat limit. We woke up Monday morning to some heavy winds and waves that were supposed to build as they day goes on. We headed out to see if we could make the best of the current conditions. We picked up 2 Kings before the waves and developing storms sent us seeking refuge back on land. Here it is Tuesday and looks as though the day is going to be a total loss due to wind and waves. Hopefully Mother Nature has better plans for tomorrow.

Strong Start to Point Breeze, Now Waiting on Weather

The day started out a little bumpy after yesterdays blow day. We went right back out to where we finished on Sunday and found a decent batch of fish. We finished the day 14 for 19 with 5 kings and 7 steelhead going into the cooler for another boat limit. We released 2 steelhead caught while clearing lines at the end of the day.

After a successful walleye trip in early August, Todd came back today to give perch fishing a try. These guys stayed on the rail all day, which paid off with 90 perch that weighed in at 26lbs. It was a very light bote with quite a few shorts that were theown backnti be caught another day. Blue perch fly rigs seemed to work best. We were north of the Toledo Harbor lighthouse in 21’ of water. I still have several days open in October. Give me a call and shoot me a message if you’d like to secure your date to fish for some Lake Erie Gold!

Big Perch Day North of the Lighthouse

Haven’t posted much in a while, mostly because there hasn’t been much good to post. I had a perch trip on 9/27 I believe we caught a total of 28 yellow perch. I switched things up on 10/2 and chased walleye. The wind blew out of the east for two days prior to this trip, which I believe shutdown the bite, we finished with 1 walleye.

East Wind Struggles on the Bite

With perch catches still very hit or miss, today I opted once again to search for some walleye. We finished 5 short of a boat limit, but did manage to pick up a dozen perch and a couple cats for the customers.


Targeting Walleye Pays Off with a Mixed Bag

Kevin and their crew joined us for an early morning trip in fall with clear conditions throughout the day. Water conditions at Reno Beach were perfect for our planned fishing approach. We headed out with Reel Therapy Sportfishing ready to put our techniques to work.

We focused our efforts on bottom fishing and still fishing using bait fishing methods throughout the morning. Reno Beach provides excellent structure and depth variations that make these techniques highly effective for targeting fish in this area. The combination of still fishing with natural baits and bottom fishing allowed us to cover different water columns effectively. We didn't stick a trophy on this run, but every cast and minute on the water was worth it.

Lake Erie Walleye: Multi-Technique Trip from Reno Beach, Oregon

Action-packed day from the get-go! I took Jeff and their crew out for a 5-hour walleye trip on Reel Therapy Sportfishing in Oregon, OH this summer. We launched early in the morning, hitting the water around sunrise. The weather was partly cloudy with a chance of rain, but that didn't dampen our spirits as we headed out to Reno Beach. Water conditions were decent, and I was optimistic about our chances. With four anglers aboard, we had plenty of hands on deck to cover some ground and try different techniques. It's always a pleasure to guide folks on these waters, especially during the prime June/July season when the walleye fishing can really heat up. Reel Therapy Sportfishing is all about providing the best experience, and I was determined to make this trip live up to that promise.

With our gear rigged and ready, we started the day trolling, which is often productive for walleye in these parts. As we worked the area, I kept a close eye on the fish finder and adjusted our speed and depth to target the most promising spots. We mixed things up by switching to some bottom fishing techniques, dropping our lines to where I suspected the walleye might be holding. Later, we tried casting to cover more water and give the crew a chance to work different presentations. Despite our efforts and the variety of techniques we employed, the fish weren't cooperating as much as we'd hoped on this outing. But that's fishing – some days are slower than others, and it's all part of the experience.

Even though we didn't land any trophies this time, the crew stayed positive and enjoyed their time on the water. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, appreciating the day out on Lake Erie and the chance to hone our skills. These quieter days on the water can often teach us just as much as the ones where the fish are jumping in the boat.

If you're thinking about coming out for some walleye action in Oregon, OH, I'd love to have you aboard Reel Therapy Sportfishing. Our 5-hour June/July trips are a great way to experience the best of Lake Erie fishing. Whether you're an experienced angler or new to the sport, we've got the knowledge and equipment to give you a shot at some quality walleye.

Plus, the views of Lake Erie and the camaraderie on board make for a memorable outing. Don't let a slower day discourage you – it often means the next trip could be the one where everything comes together for an epic bite.

Snuck out for a few hours yesterday afternoon for a family trip and made quick work of a boat limit. Big thanks to Al Szuch Live Bait for staying open to clean our catch.


Fast Limits and Family Time on Lake Erie

Saturday morning I had a group of 4 from Southern Ohio out for a short trip. These guys were pretty hard core, staying on the rail all morning despite the wind and rain. Saturday afternoon had a couple of guys in from the Indianapolis area celebrating the birthday of their Father in law. The afternoon started out very slow, until we found an active group of fish in the last hour, boating an additional 14 fish for the cooler. Now is the time to reserve your date on the lake this summer by giving me a call or shooting me a message at 419-367-7530.
