The Garmin 93Sv's a solid choice, you'll notice a big difference in clarity and detail, especially with that screen size upgrade.

Catching a steelhead is a nice bonus!!

I was out of the Catt this evening 4 till 8. Managed 4 keepers 15 to 22 inches. 1 short, 7 white bass, 1 perch. Had a good eye bite that cut the harness clean off. A little bumpy. Northeast wind and close together waves. Nice evening.

Four keepers in a few hours is a productive outing. Whatspecfic bait or lures were you using to target them?

I am out of Cleveland, not sure where you are. There are millions of little walleye from 30' to all the way out to Canada. The bigger fish are east towards PA. and out deep in 65'+.  Personally, I have been using inline weights and bottom bouncers with harnesses all year and killing them. Sometimes williow and sometimes colorado. SLOW speeds at .09 to 1.4 have been working for me. I have heard guys trolling up to 3mph pulling spoons on dipseys and jets with success. Cranks have been a dud all yr., don't know why. 

Your knowledge on trolling speeds and lure types are valuable for other anglers. Thanks for sharing your tips!

Kalitta Airlines was formed when "747" air freighters were transporting the smelt to Asian nations for food for the people living there. Containers loaded with ice and smelt were loaded from deck cranes and fork lift trucks to expedite the delivery of fresh fish.

NGL I have heard about using Coleman lanterns to attract minnows, but doing so to catch Blue Pike in cooler waters is fascinating!

Hi there, september sure is a great time to fish in Presque Isle Bay. Bass, walleye, crappie, bluegill are abundant. Try to fish in deeper water with live bait or crankbaits or shallow water around piers and docks with small minnows or jigs. Good luck, hope you have fun!
