My Way

Gone but never forgotten R.I.P. Mr. Fred Fails Today I learned of the loss of a very special person; Mr. Winfred "Fred" Fails. Mr. Fails taught at Waite High School (Toledo Ohio) for 33 years, he also ran a boat repair shop on Wamba Ave. right behind the Netty’s on Dorr St. Mr. Fails was a friend, a fellow fisherman and my boat repairman. Mr. Fails docked with me at Meinke’s Marina. He will be sadly missed. R.I.P. Fred

Salmon Fishing Can anyone tell me when does the Salmon begin running?

Very Interesting

What size motor did this come off of?

Yes, many limits still being taken out of the river; Buttonwood Park,and Jerome Rd rapids areas, I'm sure with today's rain, the river has risen quite a bit...

I fish out of Meinke Marina, the hot spot has been around Turtle Island. Sometimes I head east in front Davis Bessie. Sent from my SM-N910V using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Fish On Western Basin Was a little ruff last weekend due to the mud, but its do-able, only will get better from here on out...

They were getting eyes trolling around the cans, at least last weekend (Sunday April 2) the water temp was 40 degrees, using shorter leads on the Bandits & Khaki at 25 back, speeds between 1.5-1.8 mph. But that was then, today winds gusting at 48 kt, waves 4-5 ft. Tomorrows forecast not much better; 23-26 kt, decreasing to 17-20 kt in the afternoon waves 3-4 ft., the Western Basin will look like chocolate milk, it will take days to clear up.

Please keep updating, I've heard good things about the Detroit River, looking forward to fishing it this season...
