    Sticks usually need greater speed to obtain better action. Speed covers more water and better boat control. Still harnesses produce well. I usually set up all the same gear for good results. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Warm summer waters cause a migration of perch and walleye to west of SP. Go west of Silver Creek and let the winds blow you back to SP. Depths of at least seventy foot hold the most fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Regularly pop your riggers and dipseys to float your harnesses up through the suspended fish above. Check your bait then also. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Yesterday was very slow off Center Road. The bright full moon must have had the Walleyes on the feed all night. The fish are there with 79 foot having the best screen. Only one 24 inch fish taken. The other boat had three. Dipseys at 3 setting 150 foot out and 1 setting 75 foot out did the deal with worm harnesses.

    The best concentration of Walleyes I found yesterday was in 85 foot of water off Center Road between Dunkirk and Silver Creek. Harnesses on riggers and dipseys are working best. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Mid summer walleye fishing conditions seem to have returned. Several good catches from early morning trips to west of the Cattaraugus are seen. 65 to 85 foot of water, dipseys, riggers and many colors of leadcore. Harnesses and stick baits are working well.

    There are upwelling conditions where an off shore wind blows all the warm water away and cold bottom waters reach the surface. Some below thermocline waters become dissolved oxygen scarce as decay of organisms consume the oxygen. White capping wave action adds oxygen to warm surface waters as below thermocline waters become dead zones from the decaying organisms and a lack of surface activity is blocked by the thermocline barrier. You may expect to find fish devoid areas after the season extends and the mixture is surface water declines. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Southwest winds stack warm water to the eastern end of the lake in the summer. Ohio is south of Pennsylvania and the warm air and sun conditions create a lot of warm surface water there and the SW wind blows it to NY waters. It piles up here all the way to the bottom of the lake. Sturgeon Point to Point Abino is nine miles across and the sixty mile breadth of PA and OH has a lot of warmer surface water that moves to NY where it piles up to the bottom especially east of Sturgeon Point. After July first the colder bottom water is found some years all the way west of Silver Creek. This cold water attracts the cold water seeking smelt, emerald shiners and forage for the walleye, trout and perch. Usually it is found around sixty to seventy foot depths and the fishing is fantastic out there from mid July to mid August. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    I picked up 4 Walleyes today off Fox Point. 30.5, 28 and 2 at 22 inches . 4 colors of lead core and a board with Renoskys, dipseys at 3 setting 90 foot out with worm harnesses and Renoskys and one on a rigger at 45 foot down in 45 to 50 foot of water between 11:30 AM and 1:00: PM.

    Break walls made with rocks with gaps or just jumbled piles take the wave force over a period of time. Solid steel sheet piling take the full force of the waves instantly . Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Today the fish are suspended again in the upper water column. The bottom is empty except for an occasional mark. 62 degree surface water, bluebird sky and east winds Made us wish we stayed ashore and cut grass. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Walleye schools were 40 to 55 foot of water yesterday with large fish on the surface, mid water and the largest fish on the bottom. You must see them on your screen and if your screen is blank pull your gear and keep looking for screens with fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    With Lake Ontario salmon 30 pound test leaders are necessary. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    The leader between the dipsey or jet should be as long as possible. The length of your rod and a couple more feet with 20 pound test fluorocarbon are ideal. Big fish will snap the line after the dipsey even with snubbers. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    In certain conditions like calm water you need to keep your lines farther away from the boat as it spooks fish away farther or deeper. So prepare yourself. Even long lining behind the boat is futile. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

    Water temperature determines where the perch are. Sometimes they are near the surface and your boat spooks them away as your sonar does not pick them up. When the water temperature hits the mid fifties, they will be back down on the bottom. The gill nets harvest size specific perch and are regulated to limit over fishing yet keeping the perch population under safe limits. Too many times perch will be stunted down as in inland lakes as the forage base will be limited.The large perch we catch today are the result of proper harvest management. When New York state outlawed the gill nets the walleyes and perch were in good shape but by the year 2000 we could not catch a daily limit of walleyes. The failure to harvest enough perch at that time caused a collapse in the system. Today we have a lot of angler pressure on the perch populations and have a good population of larger sized perch and plenty of walleyes. My biggest fear is some do gooders will try to set lower catch limits thinking we will be better off. Lake Erie is a huge lake accessible for a limited time frame to small boat anglers. Then we will be back to the 1990's when our fishery collapsed.

    Yellow perch can be taken any time you can locate them. Under the ice, near shore at spawning time, 42 to 48 degree water temperature, after spawning in deeper water to 78 degree surface water temperature, where they are in 65 to 70 foot of water. When the water cools to 65 degrees they are returning to shallow water again. Emerald shiners are the preferred bait and the bottom is where you will find them. Before stopping your boat, find them on your fishfinder. If you see a group of boats, anchor near the boats that are catching perch, not near the guys doing nothing. The Niagara River below the Black Rock Lock in the slow current is good for shore fishing for them in the spring. \
