Slapshot

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

They were on a 3 setting, I ran 1 on steel and the other on braid (135)

Fished this morning for 5 hours, launched off Hamburg beach and ran out to 58 - 62 foot of water where you can see the condos. Ended up boating 8 All between 18 - 24 inches, 2 can off riggers at 55/ 56 with purple/ silver and watermelon harnesses, the other 6 came off dipseys (out 130 - 135) and lead core (5color) on bombers in perch color and black/ orange.

Was out this morning, SLOWWWWWW!!  only 3 fish, one weighed just over 9 lbs (no we are not in the tournament), nothing on sticks, fish came on different color harnesses and 1 big 5 lb sheepshead.  Not sure where all the walleye are?

Got out for the first time yesterday behind the windmills, fished 32- 39 feet of water, manager to get 6 and 1 throwback.  We had to work for them.  All fish came on harnesses, nothing on sticks or spoons.

We will give that a shot, thanks Fishy and good luck to this year.

planning on heading out early, do you use sticks or harnesses? trolling or bottom bounce?  Thanks

planning to go out during the day, thanks

Heading out of SBH this weekend for the first time this year and dragging a newbie along with me.   I'll take any information or suggestions you can provide, thanks.

Thanks  to all that responded, I guess I'll have to spend some of my stimulus check.

Thank you for the suggestions, can not seem to narrow it down to one color.  What color Bay Rats work for, I do not have and would like to buy a few.  Thanks

Started getting ready for the walleye season, and would like to get everyone's opinion on what brands and colors work for you.  I fish anywhere from Buffalo down to Dunkirk.  Thanks

Was out yesterday, best screen was in 50 -55 " , not one color worked better than any others, but grren wih some yellow caught the bigger fish.  We launched at six, ended at 11:30 with a 3 man limit, we caught fish on riggers, leadcore and dipseys.

We don't like them either, just trying to find a way to make them track better, if thats possible.

thanks Youngblood, I appreciate your feedback

yes,  I am talking about my otter boards, they just do not seen to track right through the water.   Do I need to re- drill any holes and re- tie?

We have the Big Jon boards and they do not seem to pull good through the water.  Doe anyone have any suggestions as to how to the boards to run better and pull out to the side better keeping the line connected to the mast tought?  Thanks

I would like to run wire on one of the dipseys, would you recommend a twilly tip?  Thanks

What are your preferred rods to use with your dipsey divers?  Thanks

Great, thanks ghauser.  I appreciate the help.  

Great, thanks Bud

I did read back, but with the wind and temp change, wasn't qiut sure if things may have changed.  Thnaks for the info.  Where are the perch/ what depth?
