Slapshot

Dunkirk 7/9 In the water at 6:30 , so much for the 1 foot or less and 5 - 10 mph winds. A little wavy but fishable. Ended up with 10, lost at the boat and 1 throw back. Dipsy’s set on 3 out 155 and 8 core, with sticks northern lights and I believe a renosky mirror in brown trout and harnesses on green/ chartreuse and purple/ pink/ blue with a gold back. All fish were healthy between 23” - 26”. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks for sharing Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Went out this morning from 6:30 - 11:30. Caught 1 eye within the first half hour, thought is was going to be a good day. Boy was I wrong. Never moved a rod for the next 2.5 hours, got 1 more eye, and that was it. VERY SLOW, didn't mark many fish, trolled all the way from just off the windmills to the condos (approximately as I was foggy), and back, from 35 ft - 50 ft. Caught both on harnesses.

Thanks for sharing. We were also out on Sunday, slow , but moved some rods, ended the day with 5 in the box, biggest was 26.5 “. 35 - 40 out of the South gap. All fish came on harnesses. Downriggers and long lines a bottom bouncer caught most fish, silver bass, perch and some healthy Sheephead. We are not in the tournament Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Fished the Catt yesterday on Saturday from 7- 12, I agree with ciscokid, fished 74 ft - 80 ft, picked up 9 and last a few others, fish were picky, a flurry of hits and then shut down for a while, dipseys out 170 - 180, riggers a 53 and 56 (picked ip most of our fish on harnesses) and a 10 core which picked up 2. trolling speed was 1.8- 2.2. Fishing at or just above the thermocline seemed best. Also picked up 3 healthy silver bass., walleye caught were healthy and appeared to be eating well.

thanks for the encouraging report, haven't been out in about month or so, looking to get after some walleye on Sunday.

fished out of Buffalo this morning from 6:30- 11:30 in 58- 60 foot of water, ended up with 6, 5 on the downrigger at 53' and 1 on 7 color lead core, 1 on sticks and 5 on harnesses, silver back seem to work better than copper. Marked what seemed to be a lot of bait and fish higher up in the water column, when we marked fish in the 50- 56 foot range they were walleye. Still seems pretty slow for this time of year.

First time out this morning, (not in the STWT), trolled for 6 hours and only managed 1 walleye, 1 bass and 1 sheephead. worked hard and threw the kitchen sink at them. Trolled in front of the windmills, out to the condo's and to meyers reef. For all the suposed great spawning thats been happening the last few years, where are all the walleye?

Perfect, thanks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Thinking about heading out on Sunday, just wondering if it’s still worth the effort to go out for walleye if they are still out there? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Thinking of heading out of Dunkirk in the morning if the winds are down. Any suggestion as to where to start and what bait is working best? Thanks will post a report at some point tomorrow.

fished out of Dunkirk this morning with my daughter (first time out with me in her 20 years of her existence) and her boyfriend. We ended up with 10, letting my daughter reel in most of the fish and try her hand at netting. She lost 5, knocked one of mine at the boat and her boyfriend lost 2, plus missed a few hits. But landed a bonus 12 lb lake trout. Should have limited out, but time spent with my daughter was priceless. She had a great time and hopefully she has the itch. Anyways, our best depth was 97'- 103', we used a10 core, riggers at 56 and 58, and dipseys at 165- 170. Fished all sticks, bombers, scatter rap and smithwick rougue 10's.

second that, thanks for the report, heading out in the AM, i will report when I get home

Heading out tomorrow in the AM, and info would be great. Thanks for the report Milt
