Raycaster Posted August 29, 2019 Report Posted August 29, 2019 A friend was looking for a charter the end of Sept for Balsam/Cameron, any suggestions? Thx ahead.
David Chong Posted August 29, 2019 Report Posted August 29, 2019 Greg Klatt would be awesome! Brent Bochek also guides on Cameron!
Raycaster Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Posted August 29, 2019 Thank you for the replies, Will make inquiries.
Raycaster Posted September 29, 2019 Author Report Posted September 29, 2019 Had our charter with Greg Klatt yesterday on Balsam and it was exactly what we wanted. We have fished over 10 yrs on Balsam and do OK but if our usual spots and techniques weren't working we were in for a slow day. Basically Greg gave us a Plan B,C and D with great technique instruction and rod and line presentation that is sure to increase our success. Discussions about weed/rock formation were eye opening and can't wait for next year to use this new knowledge. Big thanks to Greg for teaching a few "Old dogs New tricks"! 1
Terry Posted September 29, 2019 Report Posted September 29, 2019 Greg is the man Im glad you could get out with him
David Chong Posted September 29, 2019 Report Posted September 29, 2019 Greg is a great angler & very knowledgeable guide! Glad that you had a great day! 1
Raycaster Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 I think the total for the 3 of us were 8-10 walleye and 5-8 bass. We broke off 3 lines that could of been pike. We ran light action rods with light line and didnt target Pike as we already do pretty well with them. I think that total was great as we always find it tough in the Fall. Followed up yesterday by myself in the brutal weather and ended with 2 small walleye and lots of panfish, impossible to stay on spot as it was whitecaps all morning. Calmed down in West Bay with a nice fat 5lb Bass off Ant Island. Beautiful fish but no fight. 1
cisco Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Thank you. Haven't been there in a while and nice to hear good results! A weird slot there. Any of a size to be kept? Last time out we 3 got 5 walleye and one was ok to keep but just barely so got released. Edited October 5, 2019 by cisco
Raycaster Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Cisco, The small ones under the slot size really make you ask yourself " do I really want to fillet these"? I threw them back and kept the bass hoping for pike or 2 but when no pikes volunteered I threw the bass back too. Can't help thinking about the charters on St. Clair that have a clothes line of walleye hanging! Edited October 5, 2019 by Raycaster 1
