LEADER IN MAUMEE /PERRYSBURG LONGEST JACK TOURNAMENT–22.75 INCHES

Conditions have remained very steady for the last few days. We are still seeing limits of walleye being brought in. I went to bluegrass yesterday oand got a limit of jacks in about 30 min-great to see they are still in there. Each one I caught had completely bitten/ swallowed the hook and when I cut their bellies open they were mostly empty so they are definitly hungry and agressivly on the hunt. We saw some females brought into the shop as well so this bodes well for the rest of the week.

We have seen a few nice stringers of white bass , mostly caught in the slower waters near White street and Orleans Park.They are still in the early stages of moving in, but when they do it will be a massive influx.

All access areas are fishable today with yesterdays hot spot being bluegrass island once again. We also saw a few limits taken near Ft Miegs , along the Towpath and Jerome Rd Rapids.
