I'm trying to be a mediator here, but this site should be for fishing information where & when etc. , not a disagreement between 2 people. There is a way to message each other if you want to have a discussion, so the others don't have their phones going off constantly. And for cisco kid, please turn off your caps lock. If the other fisherman that use this site disagree with me, just say so & I'll butt out.

Went off the Catt today & headed north to 77 fow', slow ride out. Trolled south with the waves. 2 man limit in 2 1/2 hours, all on purple cisco & lime green harnesses. Hot action between the riggers and dipsys. When we were breaking down, we were dragging 2 & released them. Things are back to normal after the upturn.

Great job Schultz, I bet those kids had a ball. They remember these outings forever.

Fished out of the Cat today, went out at 7, back in by 9:30. Started at 55 fow, by the time we hit 70 fow had a 2 man limit, all on harnesses. Fish got bigger as we got deeper. Nice off shore breeze. Released 2 shorts, lost 1 at the back of the boat. Getting too comfortable with these easy limits.

Went out of the Cat this morning, got a 2 man limit on riggers & dipsys, 1 perch and 1 huge sheephead. Stayed in the 50's primarily. Saw a stack of perch around 52', was tempted to spot lock for some but it was too hot, wanted to get off. It's too easy now, it can't last.

Fished off the Cat yesterday, in 55' straight out and went out to 73'. By the time we got to 73, we had a 2 man limit in a little over 2 hours. Purple was the best color for us too. Most fish were suspended around 52'. It's easy fishing right now, just about anything works.

Fished off the Catt on Monday, headed west off Center Rd between 78 & 88 fow. Got a 2 man limit on harnesses & dipsies. Riggers about 7'-10' off the bottom. Dipsies on 3 setting at 175' back. Riggers did a little better than the dipsies, & faster to get in the boat. Several of the walleye were over 25", the rest good eaters 17-21. Wasted more than an hour trying to find perch that we had marked earlier, went back to several spots & they had moved. Went out at 8am, back in by 2 pm. Great day on the water.

Went out for perch today off the Catt, found some in 62 fow between the windmill & Evangola State Park. Ended up with 60 on salted emeralds. The guys next to us with live Golden shiners from Miller's did well also. We ran out of bait & headed back to the creek, had an early start to cleaning. It was a calm lake out there today.

We trolled, thought about bottom bouncing but too lazy to change everything over.

This was not my first time out, but the first time I posted this year. We got to Miller's by 645 am & he was out of worms, so we had to run down to the Rez. We started around 53 fow, but it got too crazy with all the boats so we headed out to 56-57. When the wind turned out of the north, we trolled west towards Dunkirk. We had a lot of action. We returned 6-7 shorts, probably about 8 silver bass, 1 perch, a huge sheephead, but we got our 2 man limit in about 5 hours. When we were breaking down, we were dragging 2 that were returned. We caught more on riggers 5' off the bottom, but the dipsies on 3 setting at 130 did well also. Purple, lime green, & copper worked the best. A fun day on the water.

Nice job backinthegame! Where can I buy that grape ape harness?

Haven't seen a lot of reports off the Catt, so thought I'd add one. We fished from 65' to 85 fow from Center Rd. to east of Evangola State Park. Not a lot of marks. Ended up with 3 walleye (19, 21, & 26) & a silver bass. 2 were caught on riggers 5-7' off the bottom around 70 fow on purple/silver harnesses. One was caught on a water melon harness off a dipsy at 110' on a 2 setting. It was a nice day on the water. I hope the schools keep moving east.

Nice haul there yellowpike, nice boat too.

Fished off the Catt yesterday for perch. Started with the pack at 52', not much happening there. Moved out to 71' where we found some action. The marine forecast called for waves 1' or less, but that didn't happen. The Minnkota was struggling to hold us on spot lock. Fished there for 3 hours & ended up with 62. The bite was hot for awhile. Salted emeralds did the trick.
