Here at the shop the wife and I just returned from a 2 day buyer show. W.L.Baumler puts on a great show held at Saw Mill Creek resort. I like the fact they are a local distributor right here in Lorain Ohio. Its always nice to get a small jump on anglers looking for the newest products to hit the market. I will take the opportunity to tell you about a few really cool new products. Pictured above is a sample of Koppers Live Target Bait Balls. All I can say is WOW! Im not sure Ill ever catch a fish on one but this whole line is really awesome looking. They come in a variety of sizes,shapes and even a wide range of bait fish choices. On looks alone I have to try them. Reef Runner has also brought a new bait to market called the Skinny Stick. Its a 4 1/2 body length and a unique flat sided, slender shape. It can be trolled from .5 to 3.5 and reach depths of 21 to 24 feet. This bait will for sure be a hit on those spring Western basin walleye. This bait offers another bonus as all components, including the hooks are designed, tested, and made right here in the USA. Look for more updates and new products in days to come.

Night walleye fishing is still top notch. Troller's and casters alike are taking fish from 72 to Huron. Husky Jerks , F18s and Perfect tens are all working well. The day bite has also been good in 25 to 35 feet running baits about 10 feet down.
Steelhead fishing is finally picking up with good reports from Chagrin, Grand and Conneaut. Jigs , minnows , spawn as well as large fly's are all taking fish. Ice and slush can be tough first thing in the morning and a freeze up is possible. Tail outs and slow water has been the best bet.
The past week we took a boat up Vermilion and trolled Flatfish 25 to 40 back and had good success boating 7 in a few hours. Silver blue and silver chartreuse were both good. As long as the water stays open the low river and harbors will stay good.

Colder temperatures and rain fall has brought a run of dime silver steelhead into Ohio's rivers. Look for the numbers to increase as days pass. Fishermen have been catching on a variety of baits including fly's, spawn and jigs.
Walleye fishing is at its finest, day and night fishermen are all catching fish from Cleveland to the Islands. Guys are running stick baits ,f18, perfect 10s and Huskys, in a variety of colors with firetiger and clown being best. Shore casters are also catching fish from almost any ware they can gain access to water. The bite seems to start as early as 8:00 o'clock till dusk. Husky jerks are top producer as well as rattle traps for guys fishing deeper water.
Remember to thank a Veteran today for all the freedoms we can enjoy because of they're sacrifices.
