Hello and welcome

There is a end insight Mike I feel like the guy in the kingsford commercial he says it was cold and everything was white his friends tell him it was only winter buddy ... We had a low of 21 this morning I have my outboard covers in the living room warming up so I can wax them the woman isn't very happy but it give me hope !!! Can't wait for the reports to start rolling in

Amazing That is a work of art !!!

Wow..  There almost to nice to fish with !!!  Is that paint or some kind  of plastic overlay (wrap)   

Color suggestions guys ??

Thanks Andy ..

Lures with a twist.. where can I find the spotted confusion ? I would like to look at that other colors as well !! Thanks Paul

Lol yellowpike  you know what you like i'll give you that !!!  I have a bunch but i'll bet there the wrong one's

I am a big fan of thunder stick they have great action at almost any speed if they improved  the colors I'm sure more guys would use them ... I cant tell you how many browns I've caught with them over the years and I see in your picture they are working on the colors

Hello. And welcome steelhead 

Welcome Old Man  !! I see you know Justin (justintracytrolling) from Otisco and was wondering if your the older fella I talked to last spring about fishing beltzville Pa ? I was the guy drilling the penn east pipeline under the lake

I Can't buy a walleye on a thunder stick, 20 years fishing erie from Port Clinton to Buffalo and never caught one on a Tuesday stick.

That's only because I have a ton of them and think they have good action ... gotta start buying the stuff I know will never work and i'll kill um

Yes King Slammin it seems like most guys like stingers

Harnesses, more harnesses, and Bay Rats. 90% on Leadcore, and 10% on Torpedo Divers. I gave up on Renosky's years ago, they are JUNK, Hooks bend and pullout, body's fill with water, and they break apart at the seams. Reef Runners are made to troll slower than we fish in the Eastern Basin and will wash out at speeds over 2 MPH.

what about thunder sticks ?? they troll well at 2 mph

I'm running 10# flouro leader on all my rigs. I've tried running shorter leads..but longer ones seem to work better for me. To be perfectly honest..my downriggers are the worst producers in my Arsenal for walleyes. Work fine for everything else, but not for eyes.

I have heard that from others do you run spoons off the riggers ? Some guys say its because the water has cleared up over the years and the ball spooks them but if that's the case it seems like dipsey's wouldn't work .. Starting to dislike this fish !! my plan is 2 downriggers 2 dipsey's and 2 off the big boards if I cant get them with that i'll tuck tail and head back to lake O for salmon

Chris if the paint stayed on your stinger spoons  how far behind the ball would you run them ? (only kidding I have a bunch) what colors do you like ?

If you could only fish three baits what would they be ? I have three spoons I will not start salmon fishing without they may change at some point in the day but I always start with them and was wondering what others would have to start there trip with on Erie

You just let me know what you drink and i'll pick it up on my way !!

Thanks again Chris you have been a big help it would be my pleasure to buy your dinner if we meet up ... 35 bucks per man is good deal I like the layout of the place as well  I ran a shake down yesterday on a local lake got a few browns but more importantly the boat ran great !!! July is a perfect time for me we do a 10 day trip to oak orchard (lake O)  the week before  Memorial day every year and I hope to get over to Erie one day for perch but that will be in the buffalo area.. Good Fishing to you !!!

Thanks guys I looked up the theater motel online the rooms look good the only thing they didn't have on the website was room rates but that's ok I have the number in my phone and address in the gps now all I need is some reports saying its time to fish.... Paul

SOLD

Thanks TooNuckinFutts but I found the princecrafts on craigslist over by buffalo the guy shipped them out today ... now I have to figure out how to close this and my other classified post ! Thanks again

I'm glad you enjoyed them Mike !!. It was a pleasure to meet you if only for a short time i'm sure our paths will cross again on lake O or Erie.. There's nothing better then sitting down with friends and family for a nice fish fry that      Reminds me Justintracy from this site and LOU has a walleye event on Otisco in May you fish in the morning come in to great food and very nice people I really enjoyed that last year hope to go again this year !! Ttyl

Lol .. Your right Mike I thought about camping for a minute and only a minute that's for young folks !! it hurts just thinking about sleeping on the ground
