Business note: We have to create a new Facebook page it will look the same as the old, and function the same-  but for some reason we’ve been locked out of the old site, Facebook etc etc so we have to start from scratch.. it will be titled “Maumee fishing kayak and shooting outfitters”. – like and follow.

As always the reports will be posted on our website  even if facebook/instgram sharing isn’t working. maumeetackle.net click on   river reports

White bass and walleye bite has been slow-cold nights  last week and high water slowed it down. Walleye on the way out -white bass just starting up.

 

White bass caught on ultra-lite equipment, will outfight about anything in the river… except probably  smallmouth bass. If you find a bunch of those big female white bass, you can wear yourself out just trying to get a dozen or so landed.When you land on a good school of them, the action can be fast and furious.
