Aquaman Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 If it helps, I have been doing well on rainbow and a watermelon colored renoskis on the riggers. I usually start about 50' off the ball and decrease it during the day to around 25'. Sometimes they like it long and other times, when they are actively feeding, they like it short. Last time out, was the first time and not the last time I tried a spoon. Michigan stinger alewife pattern about 4" long was the hot one. 1.9-2.0 mph is my normal trolling speed.Yep that helps.

Ten Percent Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 It certainly was a banner day out of Dunkirk. Thanks for all the reports that steered us in the right direction. We caught 18 eyes before noon today keeping our two man limit. 110' straight out in front of the stacks , 70-75 on the riggers. Wire dipsey set at 1 1/2 out 210 and mono dipseyl l set on 1 out 160 . I used rainbow renoskis on everything except the mono dipsey. I had an alewife pattern michigan stinger on that one. That stinger works great on Cayuga lake landlocks so I gave it a try. Seems that Erie eyes love it too.Hey Pequod..how bout a pic of that Michael stinger/a lewie spoonSent from my SM-G900V using Lake Erie United Mobile App 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthelimit Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Forecasted northeast winds and buoy readings at 4 am kept me outta Buffalo. Boy were they wrong. Lake glassed out. Usually goes the other way. Did manage a few fish, dropped a few, and a couple shorts. Not the action we were looking forward to heading west but a nice day on the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderVI Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Fished Dunkirk in 100 fow today. Picked up 12 eyes with a few throwbacks. Early morning bite was strong before it seemed to just shut off for us. Copper stinger spoon and purple renowsky were the big producers.

Pequod1 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Nice steelhead! Years ago I made my first ever walleye trip to Dunkirk hearing it was so good. That day there was a temperature flip and the only thing I caught was a steely. Said I would never go there again! Man, was I wrong. Ten Percent. I tried looking up the michigan stinger spoon. Cant seem to find any pictures of it on line but the closest one looks to be a green glow alewife standard size. It might be a U.V. pattern. Unfortunately, I bought it at Gander Mountain. There are plenty of other patterns out there that look good. The purple tuxedo style caught my eye. Might try that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishkiller16 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Fished out cat today kept 11 and 2 perch only 2 short 4 sheep head most on rigger harnesses and popping wave forecast way off got bumpySent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile AppWave forecast way off? It has been less than a foot all week just as forecasted. I have fished every day since Saturday, the 12th. And it's been the best weather all summer. And the fish were cooperating all week. Every day at least 30 fish days off the Catt. Yesterday we changed it up and went to dunkirk off vanburen out 130 to 145 fow and ran 2 riggers on the bottom with spoons and put 20 to 25 lake trout in the boat. Smallest was 12 lbs biggest was 22 lbs. There were a few sore arms after 5 hrs of doing that yesterday.Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Erie United Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
