Walleye Reports Eastern Basin 2025
Bottom Bouncer replied to Diversion's topic in Lake Erie Fishing Reports
I use three ways with about a 12 inch lead to the weight and a 3 foot leader on the harness. I don't use real heavy weight (3 oz max). You can drift effectively if their is enough wind. I like a min speed of 1.2 and use the electric motor on light wind days. I will adjust speed from 1.2 - 1.8 but usually end up at 1.4. I always have at least one bottom bouncer out, but the later we get in the summer typically the lead core and downriggers perform much better. -

The bite was real good today. Got 13 keepers, 6 shorts and missed about 12 between 60 -75 fow slightly west of the harbor. All on wormharnesses, color didn't seem to matter nor did the method as we caught bottom bouncing, off the downriggers and 5, and 9 color leadcore. I did lose a rod today, so if anyone snags an ugly stik with a Cabela's branded reel and a black and gold harness and is willing to return it I'd very much appreciate it.

Everybody has their preference. I usually keep two bottom bouncers out most of the time as part of the spread. We just keep them in rod holders and ck them periodically to make sure they are on the bottom. On days they are hitting the bottom bouncers more I'll add more and remove the downrigger or lead core lines. It's the easiest and cheapest way to fish and sometimes most effective.
