Walleye Eastern Basin Reports

[wojo]

There are plenty of perch west of Sturgeon in 70 ft of water.
We had spot lock over a bunch marks. And tried jigging. We caught a dozen before we left. ( did not want to catch perch), also ended up with a bunch so walleye, including a 10 pounder, which was released including the rest of them. Just came back from Devils Lake, North Dakota. The walleye fishing is was fantastic .They are much smaller then ours but plenty of them. They jig fish for them with rapalas or slow troll wth one once trolling iron and a simple worm harness. Small red beads with a "2 spinner using gulp bait.

Anyone out on Erie right now, either off of the Catt of Dunkirk?  Curious, PC buoy says 1.3 foot waves.

[mostlymuskies]

I stayed off thinking it would be 3 to 4 footers

We're thinking about going this evening but I don't want to drive all of the way down there only to turn around.  Predicting 4 to 7 footers tomorrow.

Left dunkirk at around 1.  Lake died down to 1-2 footers, couple bigger rollers.  It was rough in  the early morning. Not sure what it's doing right now, seems to be windy where I live right now.

It was 4-5 this morning, got off at noon and it was better but still 2-3 footers. It was a rough day for me, not only the lake was tough but no walleye, 2 silver bass.

Thanks guys, I think we're staying home and tomorrow is definitely not going to be good with the high winds forecasted and waves 4 to 7.  This weekend weather lately has been a bummer especially when you can't get out during the week

[jimski2]

Buoy wave heights show buoy rise and fall in high waves, not the true height of the waves as they move the buoy.

I agree with that.  Lately, I have looked at www.windfinder.com.  Kind of make a best guess with that and the NWS marine forecast.  Not always the best though. I made the 100 mile trip to Sturgeon once this year and had to turn around and go home.

According to DEC worker at the dock, boats did well today east of dunkirk.  He stated that a charter boat caught 30 today.  Most of the others he talked to had caught  several each.
