Maumee River Walleye Run 03-09-2023 First Walleye Of The Year

Fished in the Maumee River for the spring walleye run on March 9th, 2023, with all the rain we had in the pass 2 weeks the river level is still high but slowly dropping and the water temp also rising slowly in to the low 40s its very close to the spawning conditions, some fish already show up in the river now but no big number yet, but its a star. Good luck fishing to everyone and stay safe! Tight Line!

We have been seeing a lot with the same type of tumors on them. Still fun to catch.

One is better than none, don’t give up, you will do better next time

[@northernwaters.anglers.nation]

People this river is full of uneatable fish .. that's why they are so many of them in there local people don't eat them.. most sell them to the restaurant in town lol ..

[@topgunne12]

yooo whats up man?? good to see you were out yesterday.

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

[@baylormustaine983]

I was also out yesterday but I unfortunately came home with nothing.

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

[@baylormustaine983]

@@d-dayfishingworld7929 Just got home from fishing and wanted to let you know that I caught my first ever walleye today!

[@landingtrouties]

The alarm going off mid hook set 😂😂

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

The alarm is call for fish to bite 😂😂

[@forestbirdoutdoors3346]

That Stradic CI4+ has certainly lasted you a long time! Is it your favorite reel? i bought a shimano vanford, the stradic CI4+'s replacement, but the durability is not the same in my opinion.

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

Definitely

[@JeremyReger]

well now my heart is racing.. I gotta leave and come now haha

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

Good luck to you

[@randomthoughts1646]

When can we go fishing together my friend? This is Eloy, the big Mexican, that ate at China one.

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

Anytime you want it to

[@bobsantell]

Not using a grub, seems like snagging to me.

[@wolflitzer1230]

Not true. These fish hit bare jigs. It's a reaction strike. Can you snag? Yes, but you could with a grub tail.

[@moremut]

Did you use anything on that hook? I didn’t see anything

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

Your are right there’s Nothing on the hook

[@moremut]

@@d-dayfishingworld7929know thats what i call a great fisherman. I’m trying to look at your videos and find out the best way to catch bass and walleye here in Michigan where it’s tough and other fish I am going to try swim baits and the grub soft plastics I love using the tubes. I think they are one of the best and Texas rigs but I like the way you were doing it I’m gonna try that

[@cnmrosko]

No plastic grub?

[@lilptt7904]

Jig head only is the most popular way now

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

Yes no tail

[@hvacguy1127]

Really? No grub? Thanks for the report. What camera do you use?

[@stevenielsen4338]

Where did you say you parked at. And no plastics on the hook?

[@d-dayfishingworld7929]

Orleans park parking lot, and yes no tail on the hook

[@northernwaters.anglers.nation]

Nasty river don't eat these walleye..

[@wolflitzer1230]

Water is cold, fish are so fresh they're translucent and you can see their blood line. Absolutely nothing wrong with them

[@northernwaters.anglers.nation]

​@@wolflitzer1230lol ask the state u must not be fr a round here .. them fish have the same warning as lead .very nasty in the Sandusky river and Maumee... Back in the 80s the river was a big septic tank for the City.. the walleye don't taste nothing like walleye should.. people fr Maumee most people won't fish or even touch that nasty water.. fish are full of motor oil too sick man.. bout like eating a meth hamburger lol ..

[@avasophia1442]
