And I run alot of single strand stainless wire. Most guys in my area run 12 to 15 lbs test. I run 20. The dive curve for wire is 1' of depth for every 10' of wire + crank depth. We commonly run 300' of wire with a rapala husky jerk DHJ-12. That Husky Jerk will dive to 19' for a total of 49' of depth. Our thermocline typically sets up around 50'. Thats perfect for us.

Once the water warms up by late June, definitely by early July, were running spoons and cranks at 2.5+ knots down here. My typical setup is 2 downriggers, 4 dipsys, and 6 rods off of big boards. Spoons and / or small shallow diving cranks off of the dipsys and downriggers and deep diving cranks off of the big boards with weighted line or inline weights to get them down deeper. One of my charter friends went out in some rough water recently and the slowest they could go was 4 mph, they slayed the walleye. Speed kills when your running the right gear!

And if your running a spreader rig with multiple hooks and get one on, don't be afraid to leave it down there for a few moments before reeling it in. Thats how you attract other fish and catch doubles. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

You can also look at the Simrad Cruise (similar to the Go, but does not have a touchscreen). As far as the the best place to buy, I'd just suggest googling them and buying from the cheapest reputable dealer. I know the GPS Store, Defender Marine, and Hodges Marine are all reputable and have good prices. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

I'd vote for either Simrad or Garmin. You can get a Simrad Go XSE 7 for $499 or certwin Garmin EchoMap's in the $499 to $599 range. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Call Bob Luellen at worldwide marine. He can help you figure out what you need. He's a fisherman and really gets it. http://www.worldwidemarineins.com/ Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Your probably letting them out too fast. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

If the rigger has its own lure and hooks, it should be classified as a rod & reel. Of the lure and hooks are on a separate line, then it shouldn't. I know Ohio gets very specific about how many single or treble hooks can be on any given rod & reel. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

I meant to say can't be classified as a rod and reel. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Where do the regs say rod and reel can be a downrigger crank and boom? You'd just be running stranded wire, BIG inline weight, and a short leader. As long as you weren't over your rod limit, i think you'd be legal. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

I like the Okuma Classic Pro GLT lake trolling rod in 7'6" for my board rods. They also make dipsy and dow rigger rods as well. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

I have heard of guys doing this before for walleye. Usually with a little longer leader. Works great until you get a steelhead full of piss and vinegar on. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Ohio cut the perch limit to 10 in MU 2 (managent unit #2 in Ohio). Thats Huron to Fairport Harbor. They should have extended it to the PA line as our perch fishing is dreadful out here in MU 3. I hope whatever is affecting our perch numbers out here doesn't extend to your end of the lake. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Right now, its a walleye slaughter out there. I'm a little east of Cleveland in Ashtabula, and its been quick limits of impressive walleye. This past Saturday it almost took longer to run out to the fish than catch em. We put 24 nice (24" - 28") fish in the box in about 2 hours. Make sure your rods are calibrated, you have large dipsys on hand and a tray full of spoons. Don't be afraid to troll fast (2.5 knots +). Seven colors of leadcore or 300' of single strand wire are doing well. Deep diving cranks with weights if you don't have lead or wire. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Which snaps and sizes for trolling crank baits ?
Misdirection replied to greg2ha's topic in Tackle & Techniques
#2 Duolock snap. When you clip the crank on, make sure the clip on the duolock is away from the lip of the crank. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk -
If you only had one trip on Eastern Erie....
Misdirection replied to WalleyeLJ's topic in Lake Erie Fishing Reports
Because of the orientation of Erie being angled to the NE/SW, if we were fishing the 02 in Ashtabula, you can fish the 00 in Geneva and 04 in Conneaut. Thats a general rule of thumb. Its all about finding the right currents, temp, and baitfish. But in Conneaut, you find the humps and trenches that are more pronounced inside Pennsylvania can offer different opportunities.

Misdirection replied to WalleyeLJ's topic in Lake Erie Fishing Reports
The 02 line is 8 miles out of Ashtabula and I would guess 4 to 5 miles out of Conneaut. Out of Ashtabula we fished inside the 02 until almost August when the lake really started to warm up. Then we had to venture out into the lake. The best way to locate walleye in the summer on our part of the lake is to look at the bottom temps. Once you find the colder water, you've found the walleye. See attached pic, that was from late August. Once the lake warms up, you gotta run out to where the (yellow) colder water is, at least for those of us who fish eastern OH waters. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk
