I SPOKE TO JASON HEAD OF ALL THE DEC BIOLOGISTS FOR L. ERIE NYS YESTERDAY. HE TOLD ME THE ESTIMATED POPULATION OF WALLEYES IN ERIE THIS YEAR IS 80,000,000 AND THAT'S JUST 2 YEAR OLD PLUS AND THEY DON'T COUNT 0'S AND 1'S. FYI.

No problem. From what I’ve seen over the last 9 years is the lake just keeps getting better and I’m sure it’ll remain like this for years to come. Id be fine with a few less eyes around but more perch lol

SUPER THANK YOU I'VE ONLY BEEN BACK ON ERIE SINCE 2013 AS I MOVED EAST TOWARDS ROCHESTER!! THIS TIME OF THE YEAR I LIKE TO STAY AT THE CONDO'S AT TIMES.

Thanks Cisco, this was out of SP trolling east. I’ve put countless hours on that lake since getting my first boat at 18 years old. But having a couple million fish around our end helps too

CONGRATS TILLER YOU ARE THE FISH KILLER!!! DID YOU GO OUT OF THE SBH OR STURGEON PT PLEASE?

First trip back out in a few days, fished out at the line 73-68fow. Fish were tight to bottom and gradually suspending higher as the morning went on. 26 landed with the first big fish in the boat today coming in at 30.125”. Copper orange, watermelon, and dark green orange were the best harnesses today.

GOOD LUCK LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR REPORT.

Water too warm downtown, Head out past Sturgeon Point west.

Went out of the Cat this morning, got a 2 man limit on riggers & dipsys, 1 perch and 1 huge sheephead. Stayed in the 50's primarily. Saw a stack of perch around 52', was tempted to spot lock for some but it was too hot, wanted to get off. It's too easy now, it can't last.

I use three ways with about a 12 inch lead to the weight and a 3 foot leader on the harness. I don't use real heavy weight (3 oz max). You can drift effectively if their is enough wind. I like a min speed of 1.2 and use the electric motor on light wind days. I will adjust speed from 1.2 - 1.8 but usually end up at 1.4. I always have at least one bottom bouncer out, but the later we get in the summer typically the lead core and downriggers perform much better.

What do your bottom bounce rigs look like. I think there 3 way rigs with heavy weight on bottom dropper maybe 18 inch down but how long of a lead to harness or stick. Can you drift as effective or do you need electric troll Sent from my SM-G781V using Lake Erie United Mobile App

After yesterday’s failed perch mission it was back to the eyes today. Typical program 7-9pm, went a bit deeper than I’ve been fishing in hopes of picking up some bigger fish. Started out in 67fow working in. Fish were scattered in the bottom half of the column. 3,4,5,6oz bb crashing bottom only once. Slow and steady pick to start with a couple of chunky 24” fish. The sun started setting as we entered the upper 50s and the bite turned red hot. Constant fish on every size bb. Any harness with dark green on it has been stellar all season. Ended with 19 landed and released.

Same here had a great day took two newbie friends never trolled before and they had a blast. launched out of sturgeon went west down by the catt we caught over 30 fish we only kept 6 Ithink they are hooked they loved it riggers leadcore and dypsies all took fish 50-65 foot was are best depths.

👍 👍 👍
