As we all know, weather plays a big role in shing. Thissummer has been up and down in the temperature divi-sion, and weve had more rain this season than we havethe past couple of seasons. While it might not be desirablefor those that like to sit by the pool and tan in their bikinis,the good news is its been a blessing for the walleye angler.After all this rain, the cooler than normal temperatureshave kept the algae bloom down, and the shing is stillproductive for walleye and perch.

Hot temperatures after a big run off would have turnedthe Western Basin into a bowl of pea soup, like we haveall experienced in previous years. Yuck! But, thankfully,the cool nights and cooler days have kept the bloom likethat from happening. While there are still areas that showsome algae, its nothing like weve seen in the past.

As for the shing, the cooler temps have helped keep alot of the big sh from moving too far east this season.Many charters are still reporting great catches on this sideof the lake, with many of those sh being Fish Ohios(walleye that are 28 or better). There are also reportscoming in that show the sh are moving closer to shoreand in shallower water.

As I have mentioned before, walleye do not like hot wa-ter and will seek out a comfortable temperature near the70 degree mark. When the Western Basin is too warm, thebig sh move east to deeper water. The shing out in frontof Cleveland, Geneva, and Ashtabula has been phenom-enal this summer, but unlike previous years, the WesternBasin has had its share of success too. I cant rememberthe last time a specic area or two held big sh for as long

as it did this summer. For months the charter boats wereworking an area east of Pelee Island and the weather buoywith much success.

With the cooler days and nights, the walleye have beenmoving shallower and closer to shore in areas in andaround Huron to Vermilion. To the west, from Davis Bes-sie to the intake, has been producing smaller sh, but ingood numbers too.

So, if you dont want to make long runs, dont hesitate tostart looking shallower right now.

Holy Assumption Orthodox Churchin Marblehead on Sunday held the an-nual Halupki Festival, a celebration ofCarpatho-Russian foods and culture. Thefestival at the oldest Orthodox church inOhio featured not only halupki (cabbagerolls) and other foods such as pierogi andpoppy seed rolls, but also day-long polka

music and the art of pysanky, intricatelydecorated Ukranian Easter eggs.

Pysanky are believed to contain greatpowers. There is a belief that as long as eggdecorating continues, the world will exist,and that when there are many pysanky,love conquers evil.
