mostlymuskies Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Need to be slow if trolling,1.6 to 1.7 with water temps below 50 degrees.Troll backwards with bags and you should be able to get slower.Stickbaits are a better offering then worm harnesses in colder water most days.

mostlymuskies Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Another option would be small gold blade spinnerbait with black head jig in 2 ounce with brown hair and crawler.Drift into reef on the right side of the North Gap Red Departure Buoy or Walleye.Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostlymuskies Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 At the North Gap of the Buffalo Harbor take the Shipping Channel out to the last Red & Green Buoys in Lake Erie.Looking at the two Buoys from the Lake looking at Buffalo,start out 200 ft from the Red Bouy,a little to the right until comes up to 24 ft.Drift into reef just to the right of Red Buoy, will come up to 17 ft.Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
