The waves made fishing difficult

Fished the Catt today 6:30 - 10:30 ended up with a 2 man limit. Took a little bit longer, due to losing 2 at the back of the boat and about 5 short hits. Most fish came between 30 - 55 down, fished in 64 - 70 feet of water. A beautiful day to be on the lake.

The "pee hole" on my Yahmy300 is a tell tale that the cooling system is working.

One time I ran the boat and there was no "pee" and the motor didn't overheat.

I have had many issues with bug related obstructions of this line.

I started to put a pipe cleaner in the hole while not in use and haven't had a problem since.

By the way,

Proving the tell tale idea of the "pee hole", I forgot to take the pipe cleaner out and had no overheating issues.

Pipe cleaner works!!!!!

Grumpy'sGrady!

 

The engine never over heated.  I will try and clean out that hole.  Hope it works!!

Went out of Dunkirk this morning. Ended up with 1 and lost 1 on firetiger harness.
After being on the water for about an hour, we noticed no water coming out from the water pump. So we packed it in for the day. Now we need to find a marine mechanic who works on Honda Engines. If anyone know of a person other than place, please let me know. Thanks

Fished out of Dunkirk.  Managed to boat 10, fished ranged from 17" - 26".  best depth was about 75 - 85 feet, 50 - 60 feet down.  Riggers at 50 and 60, dipsey's out anywhere from 175 - 185, could not get the lead core going.  tried multiple colors and baits (sticks, spoons, and harnesses)  nothing was really the go to.  

Thanks for the post. I will post tomorrow after we get back in. Thanks good luck.

Hello gentlemen, haven’t been out in almost 2 months myself due to a torn meniscus in my knee I would like to get out at least one more time to catch a few walleye. Any help or information would greatly help. Thanks and good luck.

Went out of Dunkirk yesterday, managed 5 keepers, 2 perch and 3 throwbacks. The color yesterday seem to be black and purple add a gold blade with gold beads. Fished between 70 and 85 foot of water, Dipsy’s did best at 145 to 175 foot out. That worked well. Also had a lot of short hits either from perch or silver bass Kept checking, Dipsy’s and downrigger’s came up with worms stripped almost every time. Had to fight through a few other issues, with a downrigger, and even lost one of our torpedo weights.

I hate to even ask this question because I know it’s different for all of us. But was any do you want specific color or pattern working better than the others. Thanks.

Ckawski and Stillwater, I really appreciate sharing some info. I will most likely going to Dunkirk and set up somewhere between 50 and 100 feet of water. I will add to the report once we get off the lake or sometime that evening. If you’re out before then and you want to share I would willingly take that information. Thanks and good luck to the both of you.

thinking of heading out of either the Catt  or Dunkirk on Sunday.  I know things can change weekly or at least since the last time we were out.  Can or is anyone willing to help another fisherman out by  providing some information as to what depth you are fishing, how many feet down, dipsy length, etc..  Thank you and good luck.  Keep the reports coming.
