They are sold in many bait shops along the east coast and Hudson River during the stripped bass season. Pretty expensive compared to crawlers and messy when you put them on the hook. I think that is where the name comes from.
I wonder what the oxygen levels are in the water column when it gets [emoji848] this warm? Maybe something is changing with that. Sent from my SM-G975U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Awesome job. Are you a charter Ckawski? My Dad is older. Thinking about a day trip where I can focus on him and not all the other things needed on an outing.
Looks like some unsettled weather coming thru the weekend. Hopefully when it settles early next week the fish will be ready and willing to bite. Keep trying Milt. My last time out was not a good day as well. No walleye. I know they will be congregating and turn on soon. I like hand drifting harnesses with bottom bouncers when the wind is around 10 to 15 mph. That gives me about 1 to 1.2 mph. If trolling sticks and spoons you probably want to be at 1.8 to 2.2 mph? It is fun to change things up until you find the sweet spot for them. Good luck.
Hi Rookie, are you marking very many fish where you are fishing? If you do not see many marks keep looking for them. I won't fish an area if I am not marking fish.
Might work but night crawlers are easier to get and keep, less expensive and they work. I have fished with blood worms for stripers on the hudson but have no desire to try them for walleye. If you have them already why not try them and report back.
Left the SP launch at 2:30 and headed west to start out in 64 fow out from Evans Bar. Decent drift conditions for harnesses. Not enough marks and no bites so headed farther west to 60 fow off the Catt. Landed a small perch and sheephead. Sporadic marks at best and no eye biters. Made several more drifts then headed back to finish off of Sturgeon Point. Made a few drifts from 55 to 40 fow. One big sheep [emoji207] head. Headed back to launch at 8:40. Fished hard and nothing to clean tonight. Pulled in at home at 11 pm. Everyone I spoke to at the launch did poorly today. A few people said they got 1 walleye. Better luck next time.
