are these rods and reels or just reels ?

Thanks for the report , heading out there tomorrow. Probably gunna start out from Brockton .

Yes it is , it's nice that you can slide riggers and rod holders in any order you like . My boat is 18' and it blocks off too much of the stern for netting  ect . for my liking. I like the track sections on the gunnels leaving the stern open . 

Bert's track system trolling bar with spacers and end caps . Used but in good condition $375.00

RAM tube rod holders on ram ball mount with Bert's track adapter plates . (2) available $55 each

meet in Rochester or buffalo , shipping for rodholders , buyer pays .

When the walleyes are tough out of Dunkirk the lake trout always save the day . Go out to 100' + and get your riggers right close to the bottom . We caught a 14 pounder last week doing just that .

I was afraid of that....

Thank you ! I would love to go to that show Saturday, but already committed to take a youngster on the youth turkey hunt this weekend. I'll just call and get the rate info.

Thanks Again.

I'm looking to get a slip this summer for July & August in Dunkirk . Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get one , security or price differences . It's seems there are a couple places that have them . Thanks for the help !

Are these still available and where are you located ?

We fished Dunkirk today too, got on the water at 9am fished until 3 . Boated 15 eyes kept 8 between my dad and I. Keepers were 18-29" three between 5 & 6 1/2 pounds. Best bite was from 11 am- 1:00 in 95-105 feet of water. Bigger fish were suspended 40/100. All on harnesses. One 10 pound laker too , abfun couple days for sure ... now back to work tomorrow.

We spent the day at Dunkirk ... west of harbor from 65-85 FOW. Fished from 8-3:30 six rods, two on riggers two with snap weights and two with 6oz bottom bouncers. Boated 19 walleyes, 2 perch and a sheep . Brought home 8 eyes and two perch .  No big fish lots of skinny 13-15" future freezer fillers that went back strong .The best technique was popping riggers up through fish with watermelon harness blades and a old school June bug spinner with a crawler . My dad (70 yrs old) insisted on trying it " like the old days ". I had my doubts but it took 8 hits off the rigger!! I'm a believer . We lost a few on the way in including what would have been the big fish of the day . Not a quality day but a good quantity day for a few rookies. Thanks for all the tips on here !

Todays weather report for Lake Erie from Buffalo to Dunkirk was supposed to have been North at 10 mph.
Instead it ended up Northeast at 15mph and 3 to 4 ft waves in short duration.Client grabbed windshield on big wave and it pulled apart,glass is pulled out of frame at bottom.So had to idle in from SP to SBH at 5 mph so as to not break the glass.All that and only 2 keeper eyes!

Do you think tomorrow's fishing will be better with the forecasted south/ southeast wind? Or did today's blow mess things up for a couple days ?

  My brother got 13 keepers with 6-7 short throw backs yesterday out of Dunkirk 80 fow all colors worked sticks & harnesses.

That's the second time today I've heard about 80 FOW out of Dunkirk being hot... I'll check it out later in the week ! Thanks for the info ...

Thanks! I'm headed out wed for a few days , looking to put a few in the freezer. We're thinking of Dunkirk to start. Dandy walleyes by the way !

Most fish you caught suspended or bottom oreiented ?

Thanks, last time I got out a couple weeks ago we were exactly where you recommended . Maybe I'll just start on my same waypoints !

I'm headed for a three day walleye trip weather permitting wed july 26- fri.  Which port would everyone fish out of. It's just my dad and I , we have done decent out of Dunkirk before but will go further west if it's fishing better currently. We aren't trophy fishing just looking for keepers.. thanks in advance .

I got there at around 7am and still found a spot near the launch.  Others were parked near Lakeshore Drive behind demetri's.  The problem will be the idiots that will park behind your boat trailer knowing that you have to get out of there sometime.  We saw a few of those when we pulled out at around noon.

Thanks ! I don't mind walking I was just concerned even that lot may fill up tomorrow!

Caught 9 keepers this morning and threw 4 back.  West of Dunkirk in 65 to 70 ft of water.  8 color and dispeys 180 back on 3 setting were working today. Only fished from 8 to 1130 AM.

How was the parking for the launch? I'm going tomorrow and was wonder f how nuts it will be. I'm sure everywhere will be busy with the holiday.

I was wondering too , I'm looking for a slip for the month . I left a message last night for the marina in Dunkirk but haven't heard back. If I do I'll keep you posted.
