We came out of Dunkirk sunday for first time this year. We were only boat to go east out of harbor. Had a 2nd hand report of eyes in the Hill area NE in 55-60 fow. Lumpy 2-3s out of west. Got there set up didn't like what we saw. Had temp in 70's right down to the bottom. No picture. Headed for nearest deep water NW of the Hill about 3 miles. WE call it the ditch. Set up in 95 fow trolling east with waves. We started picking away at them at 90 fow. Dipseys # 2 out 130, 7 colors with sticks off boards on 1 side. other side 10 colors off boards with sticks. WE had a thermal cline down about 65 ft. We ended up with 12 eyes. We were in front of center road when we finished in about 65 fow. Good luck to everyone in the Shootout!!!

We came out of SP on Sunday. Think it was about a 6.5 - 7 mile boat ride to get to border in 65 fow. Pretty rough all day, 3ft or more. We always troll with the waves never against them. If we have a productive stretch of water we yank rods and run back to the starting point. Always use trail feature on my Lowrance so we can see exactly where we've been. I find trails to be more useful then saving tons of waypoints.

We did a slow pick for 11 eyes near border in 55-65 fow. All sticks, 5 and 7 color ieadcore off inlines. Big dipseys on #2 out 80 to 90. Last week we had a ton of bait out there but caught fewer eyes . This week almost no bait but we caught more eyes.

We got a 3 man limit in about 36-34 fow between hamburg town park and 2nd windmill to the right. Five color with sticks. Small dipseys out 65-85 on a 3. Ended with 3 extras on breakdown that we threw back. Gonna be a great year!

That looks like a very happy boy!!! Just curious how many FOW did your eyes come from. Great job!!!

Another great day out of SBH. Late start today but we ended with a 4 man box by 1:30 . Same program as previous posts. Five color off boards with purple pink glow sticks also rainbow renowskis were great. Small dipseys 2.5 out 80-85. Depart buoy to couple miles west parrell to border. These are good old days!!! Enjoy!! Can't believe theres not more reports on this site with all the boats that were at SBH today.

Almost cancelled today because of the strong NE winds. We started about 1 mile east of departure buoy in 40 fow. Pointed boat SW so waves were right at our back. We ended up on west side of Seneca shoal in about 52 fow. Had a 3 man limit at 8:55am. A straight line troll, never turned the boat. Five color offboards and small dipseys at 2.5 on braid out 75-80 ft. All rods with purple/pink/glow stickbaits. Yesterday it was same thing we stayed alittle closer to border. Fishing is great right now off Buffalo,how long will it last!!!

Garrymny- your exactly right on how to tell a walleye on your sonar. to Captain Joe Fonzie discribed that to us at a LOTSA club meeing a few years ago. Squiggly lines are walleye!! Real easy to see on my Lowrance HDS unit.

Checked temp with my fish hawk in about 50 fow . Was 64 five feet off bottom. Had 68-70 at surface. IMHO that the bait and the eyes will start moving over deeper and deeper water in next 10 days. On line between pt Abino and Sturgeon might be real good spot.

We got a 3 man limit on Saturday trolling between seneca and the departure buoy. 5 color behind church boards with stickbaits and small dipseys at 2.5 out 65-70 ft. 12 to 14 ft leads behind the dipseys. Sunday we moved close to the border due west of departure B.. Wind shifted to almost due N. so we trolled with the waves at our back ended up in seneca area. Same program for another 3 man limit. All nice eating size eyes. No big fish but no throw backs either.

I think our early walleye fishing has been very good. Coming out of SBH each time out were over deeper and deeper water. We started in the 30-40fow range a couple weeks ago. Now were anywhere from 50-64fow. Near the border has been good for us. 5 color has been the hot rod behind an inline board. We run all sticks . Purple/pink, purple,wonderbread & chautruse pink silver have been good colors. We're also running small dipseys at 2.5 65-70 out on braid. Dipsey leads 12-14 ft. Speed around 2.0-2.5. We've got a limit or near limit each time out. If you find mountains of bait stay in that area.

My leader off end of leadcore is about 25ft of 20lb P-Line floro line.

I have assortment of 2,3,5,7& 10 color on my reels. The leadcore line is all 27lb. the underneath backer is all 30lb power pro.The 5 color reels get the most use and catch the most fish.

Very good for us Satuday & Sunday on the border roughly 50-65 fow between the points. Five color with sticks was best. What a great weekend to be on L. Erie!!!

Very impressive fish!!

We trolled between the point of meyers to about 1.5 miles east. 45-35 fow. Got our 2 man limit on 5 color off boards. Purple Pink sticks. Fish were kinda small but no throw backs. Great day!!

Theres something different about the LEU site vs. the LOU site. Seems like theres alot of old info that you have to sift thru on the LEU site, before you get to the new stuff. On LOU you go to fishing reports for South shore and first items listed are the newest posts. I wish the LEU site great success I just wish followed the LOU format. I do fish both lakes so i'm constantly looking at both sites.
