The Boardman Campout had a combination of beautiful days and windy afternoons. Walleye were few and far between with only a few boats registering success. With the overfishing of walleye in the Boardman area as a result of the removal of limits, anglers had to be satisfied with channel catfish and perch.

A boat was not necessary to catch Pin Fish in Boardman this year. The most prolific fishing area was on the Boardman Marina Dock. A total of seven Pin fish were caught during the Boardman Campout, the majority caught in the marina. Definitely a reason to sign up for next year’s campout!
