Got 2 eyes about 930 this morning back to back in 31ft. Thought it was going to be a good day. That was it just Bass after that. One on Deep diving Rap off a board . One on 3 color with a Renowski. Fished out of Sturgeon.

Did the night shift last night out of Sturgeon.Had a good steady pick.Finished with a 2 man limit.Had 2 fish over 5lbs.Was a good start to the 2017 Walleye season.

This was the best I cold do.Fishing was slow there and waves were beating us up some.We tried a couple spots up the Hudson with no luck.

Larry did you get to fish when you went to long Island ? My buddy and I fished Sandy Hook NJ last weekend for Stripers. Bite was slow but got a few. All trolling nothing on Bunker chunks.

  Geezze,  I just put an  I-pilot on my bow, but after seeing the posts here I am afraid to have anyone see it!  You guys might shoot me!  I haven't been out with it yet, still new.

95% of the boats are using spot lock. The other 5% wish they were.

No docks in at the Catt.

I saw them dredging at Sturgeon on Tuesday.Hopefully they are done soon.

Here is a good video with Lake Eries leading Biologist Travis Hartman talking about the lower number of Perch in the Eastern Basin.

Looks like the guy tried to lip grab him.lol

Joe If you upgrade I have a buddy that might be interested in your Ipilot.

If you don't have auto pilot for your Terrova. I have one I would sell for cheap with a copilot wire less remote. Doesn't have spot lock or anything.But you could use the auto pilot to troll.

Perch need to be the first 50 you catch,instead of tossing back smaller ones that will not survive that are seagull bait.

Last year when the Perch bite was hot and heavy.After catching some smaller(9 and 10")Perch on Minnows.I switched over to a #7 Jigging Rap with a eye on the treble hook.After that all my Perch were 11" + .I didn't have to rebait after every fish and caught just as many as the guy with me that was using 2 minnows.
