GENTLEMEN THIS WAS A RECORD RAINFALL AND COLD FRONT, COLD WATER IS HEAVIER THAN WARM WATER AND SINKS DOWN THROUGH THE WATER COLUMN AND REALLY SCREWS UP THE FISH AND MAKES THEM GO NEUTRAL IT'S MORE THAN A DIRTY WATER THING, IT'S SORTA LIKE SOMEONE THROWING A BUCKET OF COLD WATER ON US. AS FAR AS I KNOW THAT MAKES MAN NOR BEAST HAPPY. MY NORMAL RULE OF THUMB IS 3 DAYS AFTER A COLD FRONT WITH COLD RAIN. IN THIS CASE I HOPE TO GO OUT THURSDAY THAT'S 4 DAYS FROM SATURDAY AND THEN WHO KNOWS? ALTHOUGH IT'S ONLY MY 2 CENTS WORTH IT'S BASED ON YEARS AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WHERE I LEARNED THE HARD WAY AND WASTED A LOT OF TIME AND GAS MYSELF. TIGHT LINES

ONEDIA LAKE: I JUST GOT A REPORT FROM A FRIEND THAT WENT TO ONEDIA FOR A WEEK 2 FAMILES TWO BOATS GUYS THAT REALLY KNOW THE EAST END OF THE LAKE. HE SAID IT WAS THE WORST WEEK OF FIUSHING IN 20 YEARS. LOTS OF FISH MARKS, LOT OF BAIT, MAYFLY HATCH GOING NUTS. THIS IS THE 2ND FRIEND OF MINE THAT WENT TO ONEIDA WITH SMILAR RESULTS AND THE SAME CONDITIONS AND THESE GUYS ARE SERIOUS FISHERMEN. THIS SOUNDS A LOT LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON IN ERIE THIS YEAR BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THE UNSTABLE WEATHER IS A CONTRIBUTOR TOO.

SHOULD THERE BE ANY DOUBT IF THE LORD MADE IT RAIN FOR 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD BE FLOODED!!! NO DOUBT IN MY MIND. HAVE A BLESSED DAY. NOAH

FUN FUN, REASONABLY LIGHT TACKLE I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY DAUGHTER AND GRAND SON INTO A DAY LIKE THAT. LOT OF GOOD SHEEPHEAD RECEIPES ON YOUTUBE AND HOW TO CLEAN THEM SO THEY TASTE GOOD. I AM NOT KIDDING. I'VE EATEN A FEW SMALL ONE TASTED FINE JUST NOT MUCH MEAT ON THE SHOULDERS. MY BUDDY KEEPS A JUNK FISH COOLER ON THE BOAT AND FEEDS THOSE FISH WHOLE TO HIS LABS AND BEAGLES. SHEEPHEAD BEST FIGHTER IN ERIE OTHER THAN A BIG MUSKY, CAT OR STURGEON. CLEANING A SHEEPHEAD IN THE CLEAN STATION WOULD GET ANYONE SOME MIGHT STANGE LOOKS. SORTA LIKE COOKING RATS!

SOUNDS LIKE A REASONABLE EXPLA NTION ONLY OTHER THING I CAN THINK OF MAYBE THERE NOT WALLEYE MARKS BUT WHO KNOWS?

I HAD A DAY LIKE THAT OUT IN FRONT OF THE SBH BETWEEN SENECA SHOALS AND THE LINE 5 YEARS AGO. THERE WERE AS MANY FISH ON THE SCREEN AS I HAD EVER SEEN AND WE COULDN'T BUY A BITE OF ANY KIND. SO WE FINALLY QUIT TOTALLY FRUSTRATING. TO MUCH BAIT?

THX HOW MANY GUYS AND HOURS IF U DON'T MIND.

GOOD LUCK LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MADE OUT.

THE CATT: I JUST GOT A REPORT THAT THE CAT FLOODING WAS SO BAD THEY WERE PULLING BOATS OUT OF THE CREEK!!!! IT'S RAINED JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY IN JULY. GREAT FOR ZUCCHINI AND CORN BUT NOT GOOD FOR FISHING. WE NEED SOME STABLE CALM WEATHER.

MAYBE TO MUCH BAIT?

THX FOR GREAT DETAILED REPORT AND THE SCREEN SHOT. ( I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT) YOUR RIGHT SOMETHING FISHY IS GOING ON!!

THAT'S A TOUGH 7 HOURS LAST YEAR WAS TUFF. THIS YEAR SEEMS LIKE TUFF START AGAIN. WHERE ARE THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF WALLEYES THEY SAY ARE OUT THERE? WHERE IS THE DEC WITH SOME SORT OF AN EXPLATION?

PROBABLY BOTTOM BOUNCERS BB'S

THX. I JUST TALKED TO A FRIEND THAT WENT OUT OF THE SBH TODAY AND FISHED THE LINE GOT ONE EYE AND 5 SHEEP. I THINK WE JUST NEED A STRETCH OF STABLE WEATHER SO THE FISH WILL BUNCH UP AND BE AGGRESSIVE. I JUST DON'T SEE ANY GOOD STABLE WEATHER IN THE NEAR FUTURE! BUMMER.

COOL, LET US KNOW YOUR FINAL TALLY ETC,!!!!!

GOOD JOB THX FOR REPORT!!!

THX

HOW DEEP PLEASE? GREAT JOB.

I SAW THOSE FLOATING LEFTOVER SKINS (FOR LACK OF A MORE SCIENTFIC NAME) ON ERIE LAST WEEK LOTS OF THEM I BELIEVE THEY ARE THE LEFTOVER PRODUCTS OF A MAYFLY HATCH WHICH CAN SLOW THE BITE CONSIDERABLY. SOME FRIENDS OF MINE WENT TO ONEIDA LAKE LAST WEEK AND STAYED SEVERAL DAYS ALMOST A WEEK. THEY TOLD ME BETWEEN THE WEATHER AND THE MAYFLY HATCH THEY ONLY CAUGHT 11 WALLEYES. THEY IT WAS THE WORST WEEK THEY HAVE EVER HAD ON THE LAKE EVER.. FYI

CHALLENGER 3 D WORM HARNESS $5.99 EACH AT CABELA'S, FISH USA.

THX FOR THE REPORT. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!

EAGLE CLAW LAZER SHARP SIZE 1

YOU ACTUALLY GOT SOME WALLEYE BITES BETTER THAN MOST. I TIE MY OWN HARNESSES EASY LOTS OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS. I USE 25 LB P LINE FLOROCLEAR. NEVER HAVE AN ISSUE CATCH PLENTY OF FISH WHEN THEY ARE BITING. SOME GUYS USE WIRE TO MAKE HARNESSES TO CATCH EYES SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE 25 LB TEST BEING TO HEAVY OR STIFF IT ISN'T BEEN USING IT ON ERIE FOR 8 YEARS..

SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT THIS YEAR BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS? LAST YEAR WAS TOUGH FOR ME BUT THE LAKE THIS YEAR IS ACTING VERY STRANGE. UR EITHER ON THEM OR YOU NOT! EVEN THE PA REPORTS SAYS THE FISH ARE HARD TO FIND.
