We only saw a handful of walleye come in yesterday. It would seem that due to the long period of low water, the remaining walleye will not be coming upriver from the bay. I would be surprised to see a big white bass push anytime soon. The strong NE wind makes the river appear to rise a few inches at any given moment. But then when the wind dies down, the water drops back. That was happening all day yesterday. Stronger than usual winds are forecasted for a few days, but no rain is coming. Good luck down there.
In just over one month my blog got 6000 hits. That's really cool. Thank you to all the Walleye Warriors out there!
My totals for this year so far are: 44 walleye caught and of those I took 25 home. That's quite low as compared to my yearly averages.

doc and fisherboy can you explain to me how i can catch catfish out of the maumee. I heard its really good around buttonwood around june/july
Caught 4 in less than an hour today
were a lot of people catching them hookeye
Was not at maumee. Found a new glory hole in fremont!
There are only a few things you need to know about cattin' on the river.
#1: take beer
#2: catch fish
#3: Go old school by casting rubber worms with the 3 hooks in them, tipped above it with a small egg sinker
#4: get the hell outta there before dark or the ranger will ticket your truck
#5: the good spot is just above and below the rapids on the Maumee side just upriver from the 475 bridge. Buttonwood/Bluegrass gets too low.
you can actually catch them on a plow jockey rubber worm? and are you talking jerome road like down where they walleye fish
Hookteye so you got 4. Big deal! I got 89. Jigs that is. Did not fish today. I understand that the WE are more or less trapped at Fremont since the water route out is too low for them to get out of 1area. Or so I was told. This happened a long time ago behind the golf course (now a close area). & that was when the limit was 10.
Hey Doc, you forgot to mention don't challenge ol Dbldip to catfish or you will end up with a mouthfull of slimy wiskers.
Yes fisherboy this is true. I do believe they could get out but they would have to travel through some real shallow water and I also believe that any rising of the river and they will be gone til next year. Anyway got 4 today in little over an hour plus handed off rod to dad for his final 2!no action at all at the great maumee? Not even the deep holes along fort meigs? Good luck and for once I'm praying for no rain!
hookteye where are you fishing at? i would like to catch a few more walleye this year and the maumee is not producing.
The Birdman, Graybeard and Myself went down and were later joined by Fisherboy. I got 1 small jack and threw back to snagged females5-6 lb. Birdman got 2 nice ones, Fisherboy had 1 when we left and Graybeard got the ol Gooseegg. Pretty darn slow even with junk fish. The one female was still hard with eggs.
Hookteye just the 1 today. Tempted to drive to Fremont for 4 (?). I understand there are quite a few dead WE in the area & no current to speak of. Wish the Maumee had a natural dam to keep the fish in. Enjoy the fishing while you can. There has to be a finite number holed up. But I do know where the WB are holed up in the Maumee. Saw a bunch of them at the bait store.
Seen 50-60 dead eyes in a very small area. Very unfortunate. You still fishing "your spot"?
Yes I am.
Yes I am.
I want to get out fishing today, it doesnt matter what i catch, i just want to get out..Any suggestions where to go, just want to fish somewhere????
davis...if you dont care where your going or what fish you catch. You could always try walmart. They have a wide selection that you can catch
Couldn'tdo it. #4 proved elusive.2 spawned out females & 1 partially spawned out (perhaps fully) 26". Birdman got 4 & dpldip 2. He left early. Hated to quit with 3 but a guy voluntered to carry the fish back to my car which saved me at least 5 stops.
Not 1 WB. Saw a guy with a shitload of them. Glad it wasn't me having to carry them.
creative answer eugene...id rather not support your part time no benefits job..still suprised minorities work there actually..Cant wait til you actually have some intelligible things to say on here, thanks tho, i will check it out i guess.
4 eyes yesterday plus 2 handoffs to dad. Only 1 today plus my buddy got 1, snagged 7. Bite was off...colder air temp this morning. One of the 4 on thursday was a spawned out female measuring 31inches and weighed 10.2lbs. She is going on the wall. See u got a nice stringer yesteday fisherboy. Any luck today?
31" & 10.5 lbs being spawned out. WOW. Def 1 for the wall.
Don't know if I posted it but a while back I had to throw back a 31inch "unspawned one. It would have been nice to have weighted it. Well maybe not-I might have been sicker.
Only got 1 today. Not too exciting with only 1 WB & about 4 junk fish.
Got call tonight about a lot of WE being caught off a pier in Lake Erie about 25 miles from my house. Interesting but since I'm too lazy to go to Fremont ditto for that.
Susposed to be crappy out tomorrow but unless its raining I'll try again.
