Gambler Rig worm harnesses.  Double Spin n Glos that are more speed tolerant at higher and lower speeds.  They will not hang bottom if you slack a side on a turn too!

Hey Gambler, nice to see you on this pond ... Lol.

I usually make it to Erie a couple times a year with my buddy Jim.  It is a nice change of pace!

A bunch of customers store them in bass plastics file bags.  I use zip locs also after they dry.  As far as them out fishing cowbells, some days they do and some days they do not. I have found when currents are heavy, traps out produce cowbells.

Alewife are present in Lake Erie but they tend to makeup a small percentage of baitfish base.  Believe studies show the shallower nature of the lake and ice cover tend to limit alewife.  Emerald shiners, rainbow smelt, perch and now gobies seem to be what walleyes on east end are targeting.  I don’t usually see alewife if I happen to check stomachs.  Interesting how the forage base differs one lake to another.

Like Ontario, the two harsh winters a couple years ago more than likely put a dent in what was left in the alewife population in Erie.  The fewer alewife the walleye eat, the less thiamine deficiency they will have and better reproduction.  Two years ago, the walleye we cut up had small alewife, gobies, and perch in their stomachs. 

I would think the walleye population boom is to the decline in alewife after two very harsh winters a couple years ago.

Congrats to your son on his PB!  Glad to hear my rigs were a help!

The niagara shortage seemed to get worse after the two severe winters we had not too long ago.  I have heard that the alewife took a huge hit in Erie and that would definitly put a strain on all of the other food sources.

  We targeted lakers on Monday am. out of Dunkirk, we boated 25 lakers & got 7 eyes as a bonus. we fished 85-110 fow between the stacks & the Portland ball to the west.  All came on Gambler rigs within 10ft. of the bottom.  We had a good day!

Were those walleye caught on Gambler Rigs behind cowbells or on my new Gambler Rig worm harnesses?

Thanks guys!  Lots of good info here! 

I have been a member of the Lake Ontario United forum since the beginning.  I am the owner of Gambler Rigs Custom Lake Trout lures (and now walleye lures).  I fish Lake Ontario mostly but fish Erie walleye and perch on occasion.
