    Most likely met most of you. My name is Ron avid Walleye fisherman and this afternoons bite was awesome. I'm in sales in the construction / gas and oil industry when I'm not fishing or parenting. Sometimes I mix the two together and take my customers fishing. 
    Fishing has been good as it gets but tonight was special. Started fishing today about five and had a good steady pick out of Dunkirk. Lots of small Walleye. Clouds starting coming about 7 and a diver set back 200 gets crushed on a turn. Hand the pole to a 10 year old kid from Illinois and I'm sure it's a trout. After 15 minutes and some tightening of the drag. Dipsey appears with with the fish still out of site. Damn 12 ft leads. So I'm like walk her back and I see gold and I get anxiety like you wouldn't believe. Before I know it it's laying in the bottom of boat and I'm cursing like sailor. 10lbs 30.75 inches. 
    Ten minutes later riggers goes with a custom painted Rasmussen spoon (if you're around Dunkirk you know).  Hand the rod too his twelve year old brother.  Big fish!!, we drop her 35 ft from boat.  Disappointment sets in for big brother. 
    830 sunset is gourgeos and little brother is just pumped but his brother has the look of disappointment.  I hand him the rigger rod to flutter.  I'm sure it's going to go but nothing.  More disappointment.  As he is reeling it in I see the last rod in the water a dipsey I just kreeped out to 225 goes hard.  I grab it an instantly know it's a good one.  
    I was right head shake after head shake.  Good thing I had four Busch lights left over from the sunset shootout on ice because I was so damn nervous for him. His dad had to have one too!! This one doesn't stay down mouth is open and is thrashing 50 ft behind boat.  Well we got him and he was a twin maybe a little skinnier then his brothers but the same length 30.75 maybe 31 even.  
    What a night and both will go on there wall in Illinois.  As far as are secret setup watermelon big blade worm doesn't get any more old school then that.  
    Pumped! we crushed a bunch more. Nothing like seeing a kid new to fishing catch a big fish.  I left my two boys home since this was a work thing in sense.  My youngest opens the cooler and says you needed those last weekend.

    We fished from about 6:30 until 1PM out of SP. 68 - 74 fow...... 1 nice  7 lb fish, and one at about 16 " and we lost another big fish at the back of the boat,..... we also got 10 or 11 14/15" fish that were released. We trolled harnesses, spoons, sticks, and took fish on all..... divers, LC, riggers all took fish.... lots of sheepshead too. Very nice day to fish..... light wind, and not smoking hot. Lots of fish, just couldn't get the quality......for the most part, fish were within 5' of the bottom.......

    Slow drifting works with a worm on a lure called the "Flatfish". This was a top deal fifty years ago. Everyone had them.

    How about a little round of applause for all of you guys who consistently & graciously share information (tips, techniques, general locations etc). I believe it to be very helpful, especially for guys like me who aren't able to get over to Erie as much as we would like. It provides for a great starting point with confidence. All successful fisherman understand the importance of confidence..thanks again..can't wait till the next trip!!

    Some fresh lime juice, fresh ground black pepper, a little of this spice I have that a buddy blends up...then some roasted red pepper Italian salad dressing. .marinate for a couple hrs..in the fish grate/flipper & onto the grill (high heat). Flip a few times and baste w the leftover marinade. When they flake and get a little brown /black, they are done..truly gourmet

    Another trick of trade we used to do almost 30 years ago was to run flutter spoons on riggers w/say 30 to 50 ft leads..watch your graph..watch when you see hooks (ensure cannonball is below the fish), then pop the lure from the ball, hold rod, let spoon flutter up thru water column and at least half of the time that fish would nail your spoon..kinda fun holding the rod, feeling em grab it and set it...I know this still works as I caught 3 eyes last saturday outta Dunkirk doing this..give it a try..they don't see your cannonball but see that spoon trying to get up and away from them..btw it also works w plugs off riggers..it's also a little more interactive

    Ditto from what Locoman said..you obviously haven't poked around this rather new site, because many have shared a Lotta great info to help newbies as well as veterans catch a few more fish
