Barcelona you can stay at the Theater motel make reservations now 716-326-2161 worm harnesses on lead core Dipsey's or downriggers if the weather is and has been stable you'll do fine !!! Good Luck 

Sorry about the late report but that trip gets harder every year {5 hours one way} Fished Saturday and Sunday in 50 to 65 fow the fleet was a little east so we went west just past the perch nets  2 man limit in 3 hrs on Saturday and 1 hr on Sunday running four rods dipsey's on a 3 setting out 90' and 100' downriggers  22' and 32' all worm harnesses anything with gold or copper .. So all you guys that live 4 5 or 6 hrs away and always wanted to fish Erie the good old days are right now !!! 

I asked the same question a long time ago and the word is they don't work as well as the real thing … wash your worms and keep them on ice packs 

This must be white boat john from oak orchard .. i'll tell you one thing you couldn't have found  2 better guys to go with on erie or lake O  we will be staying next door to Ed for 10 days in 2 weeks and hope to get Dennis out on our boat  great couple guys !! Good to see your still around we talked a couple years ago at captains cove

How long are your harnesses, how far apart are your hooks, do you ever use 2 blades on a harness?

I cant speak for everyone but my hooks are about 4 inches apart and as far as blades I have tied a bunch of double blades but since I don't have a lot of confidence In them  they don't see as much time in the water as my single blades  ( not saying they don't work everything has a time and place ) I have a regular program and when I start to change that fishing is slow. I fish late June to September around Barcelona and run 6 rods 4 harnesses ( a lot of gold ) and 2 rapala taildancers ( purpledecent and a custom painted wonderbread ) sorry to be so long winded but I hope this helps... Paul

I would say most of the guys on this site fish NY and my guess is you want to fish Ohio if so there are a couple sites that maybe more helpful www.walleye.com and I think Ohio outdoors

I think we can work something out  here a few of some of the I tie a few years ago I tie all my own now let me know what you lie 

2 and 4 from the top will fill the box !! I use that blade with brown and red beads call it the ( Get R Done ) downrigger leadcore dipsey don't matter

The chamberlains basically eliminated the amount of fish I would drag due to my Scotty releases not popping with lite bites.  I use them now for all of my fishing...kings to walleye. 

During setup I notched the brass thumb screws with a dremel...marking my desired settings for walleye vs steelhead vs king salmon.  Takes 5 seconds to adjust now.  

Very good idea !!! if we ever get this season started I will do the same thanks for the tip

A lot of guys seem to really like them I'm not crazy about twisting my line up or having the release above my ball but that's only because its new.. I'm one of them guys that's not crazy about change but if it keeps me from dragging one fish i'm sure i'll learn to love it !! Good Luck 

Sorry about your loss !!   I'll be staying at 4C's for 10 days in may been doing it for about 12 years had a boat up there for a few years  and now fish out of Barcelona every chance I get the rest of the summer most of the time I post after the trip 

Just ordered 3 one for a back up from Fish USA .. Thanks guys !!

Russsel  let me call andy he may want them 

Good idea lineman I'll check youtube now !! Thank you

Thanks J.. I was also wondering do you have any trouble with hook set on bigger fish I know walleye are hard mouthed I cant tell you how many walleye come undone in the net and that's with cannon releases
