Stillwater

Fished from 1pm till dark out by the line in front of Sturgeon Point in 62 to 64 fow. Overall it was slow but we did manage 4 between 16 and 21 inches. All on harnesses while drifting with bottom bouncers. Two perch as well. Several people we talked to said it was slow including the DEC guy at the launch taking surveys.

Good luck Walnut. I remember you from ice fishing on Owasco. We chatted on north end.

Heading out of Sturgeon tomorrow afternoon. Will report how we do. Hoping for active fish. Sent from my SM-G975U using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Congratulations ws6rufus! 33 is a monster, any weight? Glad you got into a bite.

My last time out was last Tuesday straight out to the line from SP. Caught 3 and lost a few. The bite was pretty slow and the wind had just shifted to the east from a bigger west blow the 2 days prior. The guy at the launch told me the bite had been good the days before. I thought we would get into them good because of all the marks on the screen but they just were not active and feeding. I would say they are there for sure. Next west wind or maybe now after a few days of settling they will turn on again? I may try again on Tuesday. Hoping for a south west / westerly wind.

Bet they turn on in this rain!

Fished straight out from Sturgeon Point today from 2 til 9 pm in 62 to 64 fow near the line. Plenty of good screens and marks. Only caught 3 eyes. All on harnesses. Spoke to a few guys who also had a hard time getting them to bite. Counted 29 boats at one point.

Monday's forecast changed for the worse since yesterday and now there is chance of thunderstorms through Thursday. Hopefully there is some fishable days in there somewhere. No go on Monday for me now. Sent from my SM-G975U using Lake Erie United Mobile App

I have not seen it. How deep is the water by it? Sent from my SM-G975U using Lake Erie United Mobile App

The Buoy is owned and operated by Canada and in Canadian water I think.

Nice job ws6rufus!! Thanks for sharing.

Sounds good. Let's hope the big migration settles in for the summer feed!!

Was planning on heading west to fish between 65 to 75 fow. Probably next attempt will be Monday or Tuesday now.

I had planned to go last Tuesday but a change of plans kept me from fishing. Never got out.

Awsome job. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for clarifying. I am going out of SP.

West of Sturgeon? Going tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G975U using Lake Erie United Mobile App

This was supposed to be a banner season. Still early but almost mid July.

It will be interesting to see how this week goes. I plan on trying Tuesday I think. Will report back.

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

Nice charts. Very interesting.

Thanks I will check them out.

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.
