    We went off Dunkrik today Aug 30. Went out to 105 FOW. Only caught 2  walleyes about 17 inchers. Tons of bait balls on the screen, and seemed to be lots of fish too, but could not get them to take.  fish were from 20 feet to 80 feet down. Water temp 71 degrees the entire way to 100 FOW. No temp difference at all. Lots of boats out there today. We fished from 80 to 105 FOW. Could not break the secret code. No thermocline.

    GarryNY...did you keep any lures/baits in that 20 foot from surface depth? I know it may be hard to when all the reports are 50 to 80 ft down. But when bait is high in water column there usually seems to be some big fish up high after that bait

    I do not. I will, however, cast out and leave a slack line. This will leave the hook close to the bottom if not on it.  Every few seconds, I tighten the line and feel for any weight and set hook. If there is no "extra" weight, I'll go back to slack.  In fall fishing in the past, there were plenty of Niagaras around and a very aggressive jigging with a spoon replacing the weight and a chartreuse plastic slayed them along with an eye or two. That technique only worked when there were massive bait schools though. 

    Hey pequod, what kind of jigging spoon do you like for the perch? Swedish pimple? Kast master? Some thing heavy like those?

    I was out yesterday after swapping out all the heart in my boat once again when I saw the wind and wave forecast for Dunkirk. Glad I made the trip. 9 keepers, 8 throwbacks with a few of the throwbacks that we could have kept. Riggers parked at 70 with the rainbow renoski and wire dipsey at 210 setting 1 1/2 with an alewife michigan stinger, also a mono dipsey with the same stinger as Monday at anywhere from 140 to 180 set at 1. The mono dipsey had only one throwback this time but the wire landed our first 30" eye. We fished from 105 out to 112 with the best depth at 105.  Should have been in 80 though. A guy and his wife that we talked to at the dock had their limit and a lot of catch and release in there slow trolling worm harnesses.
    Great drive home until we got stuck on the thruway for an extra half hour for a hazmat clean up of a truck chemical spill halfway between Buff and Roch. what a PIA.

    Pequod...thanks for the report..certainly has been plenty of decent reports and enough to have me pumped to go..been a while since last trip..I will post a report after Sunday's outing

    Hey Larry..how much weight were you using to bottom bounce in 90fow? We're they actually on bottom? And did you switch up to that setup because of short bites? Thanks in advance for your reply

    Nice steelhead! Years ago I made my first ever  walleye trip to Dunkirk hearing it was so good. That day there was a temperature flip and the only thing I caught was a steely. Said I would never go there again! Man, was I wrong.  
    Ten Percent. I tried looking up the michigan stinger spoon. Cant seem to find any pictures of it on line but the closest one looks to be a green glow alewife standard size. It might be a U.V. pattern.  Unfortunately, I bought it at Gander Mountain. There are plenty of other patterns out there that look good. The purple tuxedo style caught my eye. Might try that one.

    I was just curious to know what an alewife pattern looked like, as they are a popular baitfish

    It certainly was a banner day out of Dunkirk.  Thanks for all the reports that steered us in the right direction.  We caught 18 eyes before noon today keeping our two man limit. 110' straight out in front of the stacks , 70-75 on the riggers.  Wire dipsey set at 1 1/2 out 210 and mono dipseyl l set on 1 out 160 . I used rainbow renoskis on  everything except the mono dipsey.  I had an alewife pattern michigan stinger on that one. That stinger works great on Cayuga lake landlocks so I gave it a try. Seems that Erie eyes love it too.

    Hey Pequod..how bout a pic of that Michael stinger/a lewie spoon

    Back in the late 80's we got a fish off Presque Isle state park in Erie Pa. that had a Michigan metal tag on it's lower jaw. It had been tagged as a 3 year old in Lake St. Clair, 3 years prior to catching it.

    Last summer while fishing out of SP we had a young DEC employee requesting to take measurements & scale samples from our catch..we agreed and while doing so, I asked if he had any knowledge of the ongoing walleye movement tracking study...he laughed and said he was very involved with it. Of course I asked if he could share any details..he laughed again and said "well...we had 1 walleye that traveled from near Buffalo across the whole lake to the western basin in 24 hours"...fish confirmed to be live.... Wow!!! I thought that really highlights some of our fishing experiences....here today gone tomorow!
