Went out today, wife and I put 10 in the box. Ran 8 and 9 color lead, fished 68 - 75, most fish caught right at 70. Also most marks. We marked a lot of perch fishing for 4 hours, and couldn't keep them off the harnesses. We boated 9 and kept 5 nice ones. They also robbed worms, which sucks when you see their bouncy hits on the rod then nothing, and you haul in 8 colors of lead to check. I agree with you guys on divers, I've also had a tough time getting them to trip, and thats a workout hauling them in when they won't. I quit using them and work on perfecting my leadcore fishing. If you don't think you lead is getting down to the bottom let out more backing until you hit fish, noting on your line counter how much you had out and get it there each time. I found today that trolling at 1.2 - 1.4 also helped me to bounce bottom. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Wanted to go out tomorrow as well, saw the wind picking up tonight and 2ft means 4ft usually. My boat can take it, my fishing partner (wife) can't. (She just called me an A hole.) Sunday looks good now, but yesterday Fri looked good. Changes quick. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Lake is looking a bit bumpy next few days...whats everyone think? These winds are cutting into the late summer bite! Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Good on you Ten for bringing them in. Were they signaling/waving to others? Myself, when thunderstorms are forecast I don't go out, no fish worth that stress. Sent from my SM-S727VL using Lake Erie United Mobile App
