Shellback Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Posted August 1, 2020 Maybe things are picking up out of North East. I've been reading the FishUSA reports and they said there was good action between the Ohio line and Walnut creek. Right now the weather reports are T/S's in the afternoon Mon & Tues, sunny Weds & Thurs. That's good for me, wife can't take the afternoon heat anyhow. Leaves me the evening after supper if I want to run out again. I have a cottage rented on the St Lawrence in Canada Sept 8-22. Not sure if the border will be open or not. Might be looking for something on Erie in that time frame.
stoneam2006 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Posted August 1, 2020 Fishing should still be good around here then too. Altho if rigged for it salmon should be near shore on Ontario then tooSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
stoneam2006 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Posted August 2, 2020 Well went back out for round 2 tonight 630-9 caught 10 more boxed 7 same waterSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Shellback Posted August 8, 2020 Author Report Posted August 8, 2020 Got up to North East Sunday afternoon, it was blowing a gale on the lake. When out Mon morning and there was quite a swell on the lake. Just too uncomfortable trying to set lines. Went in about nine, then back out about noon, trying the Shade launch. Got a small walleye and a large sheepshead before thunderstorms chased us off at 2:30. Tues was rain in the morning then hot and still early afternoon, changing to strong winds again. Never got out on Weds, too much wind. Thurs our last day was nice but we only got 3 nice walleye. They were down 50 feet in 60 FOW. One on a rigger with a stickbait, and 2 on dipsies with a spoon. Tough fishing and even tougher weather.

Misdirection Posted August 13, 2020 Report Posted August 13, 2020 The big schools which were in close out in front of Ashtabula are heading east. You guys may get some good fishing in yet this year. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk 1
stoneam2006 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Posted August 22, 2020 Better day today 85+ fow only nothing inside that and I didn't get anything east of marina...west is best by far as far west as your willing to motor lolSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Shellback Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Posted August 22, 2020 Hoping to get up again soon. Thanks for the report!
stoneam2006 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Fished today after the weekend blow...went deep to start regretted that quickly as the wind blew some 3-4+ up out there so we made our slow motor back inside to the inside 50' mark. Set down and trolled east from the ws to the marina picked up 7 keepers few shorts and a ton of junk fish. Lake laid down nicely inside around 10 or so but was a brutal first few hours. Probably would have done a little better if we had started inside first. Mainly spoons on dipsys down near bottom in 55-62 fow harnesses were slow and sticks never moved a rod. Still beats workingSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 3
Shellback Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Posted August 31, 2020 I was eyeing up this Monday to Thursday, but passed due to the weather. Maybe the week after Labor Day.

stoneam2006 Posted September 6, 2020 Report Posted September 6, 2020 Beautiful morning out of NE fished 7-10 kept 3 boated some junk fish and lost a bunch of fish at least 4 were eyes...every eye we boated lost spit the hook in the net...light biters today or something. Had something hit a spoon on a dipsy and rip 100' before I got to the rod absolutely smashed it like a salmon would I'm guessing a steelhead had it hooked for 10 seconds lol....good morning with the wife and kids Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Shellback Posted September 6, 2020 Author Report Posted September 6, 2020 Nice report! Just booked our room for next Sunday through Thurs evening. Hope they have the feed bag on and the weather cooperates. Probably be our last trip to Erie this year. Will be hitting Raystown lake in Oct. About 3 hours closer to home.
