be nice to incorporate something that would get the tourney boats excited about fishing.

Another month. I caught eyes out of Dunkirk last year I think on October 22nd. Just the fisherman leave not the fish so much.

Chatters / chatterstixs

Hey guys it's easy out there right now don't over think it too much. Find the fish on the graph and fish right through them. Lake has been flat so there is not much current and the water temp doesn't change a lot this time of year. We have been trolling spoons and chatters at higher speeds 2.5 to 2.7. Good luck and if you have not been catching fish the past few weeks you need to hire a charter because you are doing something wrong.

Your fishing to high in water column. Get it down 70 to 80 ft and you'll be in business.

Heck even when you tell people exactly how to do it. Sometimes they just do what there gonna do. As of this year you could do a lot of things wrong and still catch em. Fishing is phenomenal from sturgeon point to west of Erie.

Spoons?! Can't beat em.

Yes completely correct but we had 43 lbs plus on Friday and 40 on Thursday. Too not be able to get the same bites on tourney day is tough. It happens. What's disappointing is having the bites and not landing them. On Saturday we had our bites and lost em for no good reason.

Crazy to go out and catch that many and still feel disappointed. Unreal fishing. We might of done a dozen steel head and 18 lakers and so many Walleye it's crazy. Fishing is no less the phenomenal. Freaking big ones are tough. Whats nice is all the neighbors and friends have Walleye for the winter.

Good we will buy you a beer. Gonna be a good weather weekend

Innovative outdoors guess they have over 40 boats. It's a well run tourney big pay out. Out of Dunkirk. It will be neat to see if anyone can target big fish. We get one 6lber plus per 20 eyes. So that means we need to catch a 120 in 8 hrs to win. On saturday we kept 27 eyes two 7 plus and a 5lber. Big fish are right mixed in with little ones. Strange going out there and focusing on how not to catch small eyes. They are everywhere which is wonderful. We tournament fish and prior to sunset shootout I had big fish located bouncing bottom in 60 ft off vanburen. Gave them 3hrs and had one decent fish. Boat traffic can kill that bite in a hurry.

Oh Lordy the tournament guys pre fishing in there for this weekend just lost there lunch! Lol.

It's a laker. Still a nice fish.

Secret spoons are anything pink, green or purple in wd on a light leader.

We ended up with 30 total eyes caught out of Dunkirk yesterday fishing deep like that also. I meant to introduce myself to you Larry but ended up getting side tracked. Ron

I'm not out but I don't think there is enough cold water to screw anything up. Plus Walleye don't mind a little cold water. Heck you catch em ice fishing. Temp for Walleye is overatted.

The guy wants both them fish mounted. Who locally does the best work?

Most likely met most of you. My name is Ron avid Walleye fisherman and this afternoons bite was awesome. I'm in sales in the construction / gas and oil industry when I'm not fishing or parenting. Sometimes I mix the two together and take my customers fishing. Fishing has been good as it gets but tonight was special. Started fishing today about five and had a good steady pick out of Dunkirk. Lots of small Walleye. Clouds starting coming about 7 and a diver set back 200 gets crushed on a turn. Hand the pole to a 10 year old kid from Illinois and I'm sure it's a trout. After 15 minutes and some tightening of the drag. Dipsey appears with with the fish still out of site. Damn 12 ft leads. So I'm like walk her back and I see gold and I get anxiety like you wouldn't believe. Before I know it it's laying in the bottom of boat and I'm cursing like sailor. 10lbs 30.75 inches. Ten minutes later riggers goes with a custom painted Rasmussen spoon (if you're around Dunkirk you know). Hand the rod too his twelve year old brother. Big fish!!, we drop her 35 ft from boat. Disappointment sets in for big brother. 830 sunset is gourgeos and little brother is just pumped but his brother has the look of disappointment. I hand him the rigger rod to flutter. I'm sure it's going to go but nothing. More disappointment. As he is reeling it in I see the last rod in the water a dipsey I just kreeped out to 225 goes hard. I grab it an instantly know it's a good one. I was right head shake after head shake. Good thing I had four Busch lights left over from the sunset shootout on ice because I was so damn nervous for him. His dad had to have one too!! This one doesn't stay down mouth is open and is thrashing 50 ft behind boat. Well we got him and he was a twin maybe a little skinnier then his brothers but the same length 30.75 maybe 31 even. What a night and both will go on there wall in Illinois. As far as are secret setup watermelon big blade worm doesn't get any more old school then that. Pumped! we crushed a bunch more. Nothing like seeing a kid new to fishing catch a big fish. I left my two boys home since this was a work thing in sense. My youngest opens the cooler and says you needed those last weekend.

I don't think it could mess it up there is no cold water to th northeast of Dunkirk. The lake can't flip in my opinion. The cold water is in the central basin out deep.

Anybody have the 2017 results?

I talked to the head of the tournament and if you fish it this year. There is potential that this tourney becomes sponsored/part of the Cabelas Walleye circuit.

Here is a quick pic of site.

Rayzors Big Dawg, Dunkirk NY Just a heads up but there is still room and time to get in this tournament out of Dunkirk ny. Big fish Friday July 7th with July 8th being the date of the tournament. I fished this tournament the last two years and the payout is good. For guys looking to get in a tournament this is a good way to start. I am assuming at one point in time there will be a waiting list to get in. All the info is on there web page. Call Mark and get in.
