Ten Percent

Hey... King Slammin what are some of the traditional early spring night time areas to try? Do guys go out from different ports. do you guys run inline planar boards at night? or rod in hand? just curious....I love night fishing for eyes, but have never fished Erie at night

Larry....are you back in the States now?

spend your gift cards now....

Good catches of walleyes are reported off Huron, Oh on the Ohio Game Fishing Lake Erie fishing web site. Not only catch numbers but the methods being used now. It is well worth checking this out.

What did that run you $$ ?

Trapper..if oakies work in Erie, don't hesitate to fish sliders..I had a buddy out this spring..we were crushing em on minnows and he dropped a slider down..prob more as an experiment..and started ripping them.

.Where did you see the perch as I start my fall season for perch wed and would love to know where you found them off SP

Hey Trapper... do you fish for the perch in the Fall precisley the same way as you would in the Spring (ie: emerlads on perch rigs)? Do the bait shops typically have the emeralds in the fall too?  Thanks

Jimski2  where is the Purina tower?

Hey Trapper...can you describe your double setup w/spoons & harnesses? thanks

Actually another technique we used to have a lot of success with years ago was to take a 3 way swivel, tie a 4 foot lead on it & connect a deep diving plug (like a Bommber Long A). then tie a 6 foot lead on with a flutter spoon (like an Evil Eye or Sutton) and run them off the Big boards about 150' back. It gave the eyes a "choice", do I want to eat a spoon today or a plug. Occassionally we would get "doubles"....Yessir 2 fat eyes at once. Think I may have to dig that old trick out next time.

 One thing I notice though is this.... years ago we caught many fish in the upper 25 feet of the water column (June, July & August)..over deep water...Nowadays the fish seem more bottom oriented

yeah....25 plus years ago we hammered them by popping Evil Eye spoons fromt eh downriggers

Does anyone run riggers I charter on Ontario and started to fish erie sp this year and never hear of anyone running riggers just wondering ps also what ch on vhs you use?

Trapper...its true what Greenhead said....getting baits out and away from the boat. However my last trip to SP, all 8 eyes came off the downriggers and most of those were caught by popping the lure from the release when we saw fish on the screen and letting the bait flutter up through them

we fished out of Dunkirk this past Saturday. Got beat up all day with little to show for it. 4 eyes in the box. All fish were taken on Renoskys. 3 on the dipsey 180-200 back on a 3 setting & 1 off the leadcore-10 color no extra weight

We got six today out to 74' NW of Sturgeon in the fleet.  Nothing on the dipseys today. 4 on the riggers set at 65 and two on the lead core at ten colors.  Lead core was dead until we switched over to a rainbow colored renosky. The rigger bites were purple reef runners, and harnesses.  

Pequod1  did you or the fleet locate any schools of eyes (on your sonar) out there when you were out?

the deep diving "Long A's"? or a shallow running bomber? any color preference this year? I know & realize color preference can change by the hour out there sometimes

do you guys like anything else besides the renoski sticks? I don't have those in the arsenal yet. 25 plus years ago we always did well out of Dunkirk & Barcelona on deep diving cranks off the boards in the summertime...like bomber Long A's, Bagleys etc

thanks guys....hope to see you out there...

awesome
