I trolled near the markers on Monday and we wondered what they were for. The nets must be set deep. Glad my dipsies didn't get caught in them 🙂. Thought they might be marking a diving sight or underwater object / sunken.

Based on the good reports decided to drive out to Barcelona yesterday. Got 3 lines in the water at 11 am. Fished until around 4 pm. Pretty much straight out and a little west. 68 to 72 feet was best. We caught 15 keepers, 3 or 4 shorts and lost several more good fish on the fight. Fished 3 dipsies on 3 settings down 130 to 150 feet. Harnesses and sticks. My friend lost a big mystery fish on a stick that if it was an eye would have been impressive. It left teeth marks on my new Bomber A stick. Could have easily made our limit but we were happy with the day and the sun was strong. Good luck everyone. The extra drive distance (from Rochester) was worth it.

Fished out of the Catt yesterday from noon to 8. Trolled stick and harness. 1 white bass and 1, 13.5 inch perch. Lake was flat and calm. Best marks were in 35 to 38 feet early and 60 feet later on. They didn't want to eat. Only a couple other boats out. Got as far west as Dunkirk. I think I will wait awhile before going again. Hats off to everyone who caught nice catches in the tournament last weekend.

Hi Seasculpin, that day I believe I was trolling with 2 leadcore rods in the 60 to 68 fow range. All crawler harnesses that day. Gold with orange and VMC firetiger if I recall correctly. I didn't expect the wind to be as strong that night. More than the forecast. May be making one more attempt tomorrow. If I go I will report.

Fished yesterday from 2 till sunset. Got a nice 24 inch 5 pounder in 48 fow. Thought it would be a good day. Only got 2 more and 1 perch. Stayed shallower in 48 to 62 fow using harnesses and leadcore. Oh well beautiful evening. Snagged something on bottom that broke my leadcore. Never did that out their before. A few guys I talked to did limits. One shallow and one in 80 fow.

Last time for me was last Thursday out in front of the Catt. Fished from 2 till dusk with 2 leadcore lines and harnesses. Landed 5 keepers, 7 perch. Lost a few eyes on the fight. Best screens were in 58 to 64 fow. There was a wind shift from SE to NE just as we got started. I think it cooled a good bite from earlier that morning. Good luck. I heard 80 feet was productive from guys at the launch.
