Fished just west of Barcelona harbor this morning in 58 - 80 fow. Got 6 from 8-9 and only one more after that. All of ours came right off the bottom and 5 of our 7 in 65 fow. Watermelon and black/chartreuse. Thanks to everyone for the info. It helped a lot.
Got out this morning and marked quite a few fish spread out from 65 - 80 fow. Just couldn't get them to bite. Ended up with 4, all suspended around 60 fow. Talking to a few guys at the fish cleaning table, the perch are starting.
It could be the timing. I know a lot of guys catch fish mid-day, but I have my best luck the first 2 and last 2 hours of daylight. I'll be out tonight around 6:30. Good luck.
Got a 2 man limit tonight in just over 2 hours in 70 fow. Half came off the bottom and half were suspended. Used 4 different color harnesses and all caught fish. A really great night to be on the water.
We were out Mon and Wed evening for about 4 hours each night and only caught 4 & 3. All came from worm harnesses on the bottom in 40-52 fow. Suspended baits did not get a single bite. What a difference a year makes. Based on the screen I think there are plenty of fish, they just aren't biting. May head west this weekend in search of better numbers.
Got out for a few hours this evening. Started behind the windmills in 35-37 fow. Tons of fish on the screen, but didn't catch anything. Moved out to 45-47 fow and got 6 in about two hours. Unfortunately the sheephead were out a little deeper too, but if that's the price to catch walleyes we'll live with that.
Thanks for the posts. We got out a little after 6pm and got 2 in the first ten minutes in 40 fow and then nothing for 2 hours. I saw your posts and moved into 30 - 35 fow of smokes creek and got 5 in 45 minutes.
Last weekend they were still out in 66 fow. They may have started moving in a little, but I'd start there with at least two lines on the bottom. Good luck.
Got out yesterday afternoon/evening and got 11 in 63 fow on wormharnesses slow trolled (3 on the bottom/1 suspended). Is anyone catching any fish in shallower water closer to the harbor?
Went out the south gap tonight and fished 43 - 52 fow. Got 12 with a few misses and 3 lost. All on wormharnesses slow trolled on the bottom. Color didn't seem to matter tonight
