Thursday and Friday were almost opposites. On Thursday I headed for the fish I’ve been on for a little while and they were mostly MIA. I had a great looking bunch of fish on the screen… We worked at bit more than “normal” to put together a box of 18 great eaters for my guys, but if you know my brain gremlin, I was trying to find the “bigger, better, faster” version of the day. These guys clean their own fish and you know I forgot to take a cooler pic. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Friday was another story, I returned to some of my stomping grounds from earlier in the season and graphed until I had a “happy screen” again, but this time it was game on. The walleye were flying, the size I was hoping for was back and we capitalized on the opportunity. Two more days of repeat guests can’t be beat. It was awesome to catch up! Enjoy the fillets everybody! #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyesImage attachmentImage attachment+1Image attachment

After we had weather cancellations twice last season it was my pleasure to get these guys on the water on the first try this season. They may have had to wait until their next visit to the area to make it happen, but it was worth it! The fishing remains crazy! The lake couldnt have been nicer and the fish were still chomping. My little guy fished like he was twice his age, landing numerous walleye and one 28 inch monster on his own. His fishing future is bright for sure! 68-75 FOW was the target, and suspended fish 40-50 feet down were the goal. More Jr Thundersticks and worms loaded the boat on riggers and dipseys. The good ole inline weights are still plugging away also. anywhere from 75-120 feet of line out on those and my speed is still 1.3-1.7. Taking a couple days to catch up on some other projects and avoid some storms, but back at it later in the week. #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyesImage attachmentImage attachment+3Image attachment

Birthday week finale Yesterday put the lid on another fantastic birthday week on the water and what a week it was. Gross weight and speed of boat filling were both impressive measures this week. Im incorporating some more shallow stick baits these days to avoid the sub legal fishing that are making their way to the area, but yesterday it didnt seem to matter. Shallow Jr Thundersticks and worms have been the primary offering here and they have both helped to send many pounds of fillets home. Targeting suspended fish has been classic. Ive been using dipseys, inline weights (3oz), bottom bouncers and riggers to make sure Im dialing in the depth, and baits have been mixed. Colors are leaning toward chomes lately with chartreuse also producing. Get your stuff to the right depth and theyll eat :D We still focused on 65-75 FOW and just stayed on the biters when we found them. The celebration continued into the morning yesterday with my repeat guests were treated to some of the heaviest and fastest fishing weve had all season. I was also treated to a very portable cake :D. It was definitely a Fish On kind of morning. We barely had time to take any photos trying to keep the rods running with all the big fish that were hitting the net. The second crew were able to join me a little early after we had such a fast morning and we headed right back to where I finished the morning and by grace the fish were still hungry. The number of 20+ fish in the area has been awesome, and we were able to stack the boat in no time. The key to the later bite was George Straight pumping through the speakers and worms doing most of the work on the rods. It was truly and awesome day, we were all lucky to have had a string of days with fishing this good. With July coming to a close Im taking a couple days to focus on some other projects then Im back on the water later this week. See you soon! #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyesImage attachmentImage attachment+6Image attachment

Trip number two from 7/8 was a last minute adventure. The lake was just too good to be true for the morning crew, and I had some time in the evening, so I made a call to this duo and they were able to make it happen in a hurry. We hit the same grounds as I did in the morning with a similar program and the results didnt disappoint. We had a shortened window of time with the evening launch, but the lake and the fish cooperated nicely and we were able to load the livewell in no time. Its been a blessing to watch so many of these kiddos grow into their own fishing ability and today was an awesome example of that. Ive been lucky to witness this young man go from barely knowing the best way to get a walleye to the boat to watching him jumping to grab rods the second they get a bite. What a blast, and what a rush! Awesome times on a beautiful lake, and I was heading to do it again the next day. That reminds me, let me know if youd like to be put on the on-call list and maybe we can make this happen for you too. #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyesImage attachmentImage attachment+1Image attachment

Catch up post from a little bit ago. Father and son a long time coming. A graduation present, and what a gift today was. A gift certificate for a graduation present a while back connected us, and luck would bring us together. I had a last minute cancellation and they happened to be available. Crazy how that happens. We were met with a beautiful lake and some hungry walters. It never gets old introducing new folks to the crazy fishery we are so lucky to have. We hit the deeper side of the south side of the trench to start our day and the fish didnt give us a ton of time to do our thing before they started in on us. The fishing has been nothing short of amazing lately and this day played out that was as well. Dipseys rods continue to do a ton of work for me. We had a hard time keeping 4-6 rods in the water until it was time to wrap up our walleye adventures and head for the sheep grounds. A little bit of jigging, and then we were headed home to pack up their catch. Harnesses continue to produce for me. Colors dont seem to be as critical as depth, and dialing depth has never been as easy as it is with live scope. The way my unit is set up, I can see the harnesses and even the swivels on my lines at depth, so dialing in the baits to the fish has never been more precise. #garminlivescope #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyesImage attachmentImage attachment+6Image attachment

Glass lake and hungry walleygators. Doubles for the day started off the day with a new crew that I’ve been looking forward to fishing with. Our email and text exchange prior to the trip had me primed for the hilarity that we had today. We had a great time and man did these guys smoke them in the rods today. Only a couple of their fish came unbuttoned all morning. If you can call it “all morning”. We had a million of our closest friends at the launch this am, that lead to a delayed start. A long-ish boat ride was made shorter thanks to Yamaha Outboards and we were in the honey hole in no time. The rods were flying and the shenanigans were plentiful. Overall the game plan was the same as normal, but our target depth was a tiny bit shallower all day. 65-75 FOW. I went slow, I pulled worms, and we filled the livewell a couple times 🎣🎣 Fishing remains crazy, if you like to get out you better get to me before it’s too late. Trip two of the day landed some more great for a family trio that were 2/3 completely new to walleye fish and 1/3 completely new to fishing total. Who would have thought a first ever fish catch would happen today and who knew it would be a 20”+ walleye. Great day overall, now sleep, back at it tomorrow. #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyes .Image attachmentImage attachment+1Image attachment

We had a blast, and can’t not wait until next year! We have not laughed like that in a while. Thank you for being the kind fun human you are and giving us memories we will have forever!

Go man go love to see this for your people you are a great host

Nice job Rob…

Double boat duty today! Thanks to Ed Soboslay for joining in the fun again this morning. Coming off the crazy conditions yesterday we knew it would be a puzzle to solve out there today. We headed to some familiar territory and it was a little off. I started a little in the shallower side and had a decent bite right out of the gate. We had rods moving constantly until we hit the 75 foot line and it dried up in a hurry. We were both filling our boats in short order. One slide north for me, a reset further south and our second short north slide loaded the livewell with some great fish this morning. It was a pleasure to join my guests in celebrating a retirement and new beginnings with these fellas. Overall we had a great morning and despite our plan taking some tweaking we still had a quick trip overall. Fishing was best for me in 65-75 FOW and we’re still targeting fish that were hovering around the 40 foot mark. Great times on the big pond this morning! Meat bags for days!! #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyesImage attachment

3 devs and a grandfather walk onto a boat. 😆 I know that’s not the typical setup for a great joke, but it was the plot and setting for what turned into a pretty amazing day on the water yesterday. I had the pleasure of hosting two fellas and their dad today. These fellas are living that software development life that I spent most of my career wrapped in. It was refreshing to chat about all the crazy stuff that we’ve all dealt with in the technology world while experiencing another amazing walleye bite. There were fish coming in one after another and the nerdy references were flying. The guys were spot on with the rods, and as luck would have it Dad/Grandpa was the lucky dog of the day. It seemed like every time he grabbed a rod it had a big fish on it. We spent most of our time in 70-80 FOW chasing a line of fish that are suspended around 40 feet down. As long as the gear was in that neighborhood we were getting consistent bites from solid fish. Gear choices were all over the map. I’m still slow rolling around 1.3 - 1.7 mph with worms. Chartreuse based colors seemed to do best yesterday for some reason despite the sunny conditions. Bottom line, get out there and get your stuff in front of the suspended fish and you’ll be set. The bigger fish seem to be on the higher side. We wrapped up their walleye catching around 8am, pulled all the gear and headed for sheep country. From there we spent the remainder of our time using my live scope to vertical jig blade baits into the mouths of some hungry sheephead on medium lite spinning tackle. I’m still having a ball watching fish take all kinds of baits on the live scope, what an incredible tool it’s become. Oh, and it’s super fun too! The jigging bite can be a little tricky on a day that was blowing it was, but they guys managed to pull in a healthy number of them before we decided to head in to clean their walleye. #willfishforsmiles #chasingdreams #chaseyourdreams #fishforsmiles #gofishwithryan #fishingislife #fishingtrip #lakelife #fishing #letsgofishing #cdgallery #lake #erie #lakeerie #walleyefishing #walleye #fishingboats #fishing🐟#walleye #laketrout #laketroutfishing #walleyesImage attachmentImage attachment+7Image attachment
