Turbodog Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 Fished out of the catt yesterday. Had a great picture out between 80-85 FOW. Most fish were 40-50 ft down. Threw everything but the kitchen sink and still no takers. Anyone else having this issue or should I take up golf?? Sent from my SM-G970U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Stillwater Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 Hi Turbo, what time of day were you fishing? I have had real tough bites change for the better if I hold out until evening when the sun is lower. Since I have a long ride to get there I don't try for the early morning bite. Mid day is typically slower but things get better as evening approaches. Also with the full "buck" moon they might have been feeding all night long and weren't hungry? Keep on it and you will have a big catch soon.
Turbodog Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 I fished from 7- noon. I'm going to try again this afternoon and see if that makes a difference. I'm having a hard time getting my boat to slow down to the speeds I want even with running bags. I can only get down to 2.3 or so at the ball and I feel like that might be costing me fish also Sent from my SM-G970U using Lake Erie United Mobile App

SPEED CAN MATTER ON THE OTHER HAND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY REPORTS OTHER THAN YOURS FISHING OUT OF THE CAT. I WONDER WHY? WERE OTHER BOATS CATCHING FISH?

HEAD OUT TOMORROW. We've been fishing 55-70FOW west of Barcelona. Fished 5:30am to 10:30am - Caught 24 Thursday and 24 Friday. All fish suspended at 40-50FOW. Riggers set at 45', Dipseys set at number 3 setting 125' out, 8 colors lead core. Getting ready to leave soon to get out there this morning. Also stopped in 45FOW Friday and threw a jig with half worm and slayed sheepshead on the perch poles for a half hour on the way in. 3
Bottom Bouncer Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 Fished out of Barcelona again this am. Got 6 before 9 and then only 4 between 9 and 4. They were a little deeper today as most of our fish came in 75 fow. 7 of them came off the bottom and 3 came off downriggers. Watermelon, black/ chartreuse, and red/copper harnesses today. Also got one short and a perch.
ciscokid Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 2 BOATS WENT OUT OF SBH FISHED 50 TO 63 FEET OF WATER. GOT TWO IN 10 MIN AROUND 7:30 AM SAID WE'D DONE BY NOON. THEN THEY GOT LOCKJAW BY 8 AM ONLY GOT ONE MORE AFTER THAT AND FISHED UNTIL 3 PM. THE OTHER BOAT ONLY GOT ONE!!! WE BB'D WITH DIFFERENT COLORED SPINNERS DIFFERENT DEPTHS EACH BOAT GOT AROUND 6 SH, AS I SAID WORTH REPEATING THERE WERE GREAT MARKS ON THE SCREEN ALMOST EVERYWHERE BUT NO TAKERS TO SPEAK OF. WHY DID THEY BITE AT BARCELONA BUT NOT OUT IN 55" TO 63 IN FRONT OF THE WINDMILLS OR THE CONDOS' OR PORT ALBINO NOT WITH GOOD MARKS MOST EVERYWHERE??? 1
Stillwater Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 For some reason it was a tough bite yesterday afternoon and evening off of Sturgeon out by the line in 60 to 65 fow. Plenty of marks but the only thing that would bite consistently was the Sheepshead. Moved a bit to get away from them and we managed to get 3 eyes but it was tough slugging. The wind picked up pretty good and the waves built up. Kind of a tough day but that's all a part of this walleye game!!
garrymny Posted July 27, 2021 Report Posted July 27, 2021 We're the marks Walleyes? I'm told Walleye marks are not hooks, they are longer stringy lines. I will post a picture if I can find one. Also, we've been over solid screens of walleyes, and they woul not bite a drifted crawler, jig or anything. Had to troll to get them to bite! 2 BOATS WENT OUT OF SBH FISHED 50 TO 63 FEET OF WATER.

Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App I WOULD SAY THOSE 2 OR 3 BIG ORANGE MARKS ON YOUR SCREEN ARE EYES THE REST IS EITHER BAIT OR SOMETHING ELSE. YOU HAVE 2 OR 3 SPREAD OUT ORANGE MARKS SO IT NOT DISTANCE FROM THE CONE THAT CAUSING THOSE VARIATIONS IN SIZE AND SHAPE OF THE LIGHTER MARKS OR THE THINESS AND THICKNESS OF THOSE OTHER MARKS. WALLEYE/SHEEPHEAD MARKS ARE REASONABLY CONSISTENTEN IN THEIR VARIOUS SIZES AND SHAPES. THAT'S HOW WE ARE ABLE TO READ OUR SCREENS. IF THOSE ARE ALL WALLEYES I'D BE AMAZED IMHO. THE WALLEYE MARKS ON MY LOWANCE LOOK MOST OF THE TIME LIKE YOUR STRONG ORANGE MARKS. THERE CAN ALSO CAN BE CLUTTER JUST UNDER THE SURFACE EVEN CAUSE BY WAVE BUBBLES OR MOTOR INFERFERENCE. HOWEVER I DON'T THINK THOSE MANY LIGHT MARKS ON YOUR SCREEN ARE EITHER OF THOSE. INTERFERANCE/SURFACE CLUTTER CAN SHOW UP ON A SCREEN BUT IF TRY TO HAVE A REAL CLEAN SCREEN YOU LOOSE YOUR SENSTIVITY. THOSE HEAVY RIBBONS ON THE OTHER FISHERMAN'S SCREEN ARE NOT WALLEYES THEY JUST DON'T SCHOOL THAT WAY. TIGHT LINES
garrymny Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Hey Guys, the long ribbons are Walleyes. According to a Walleye Charter Captain that gave a class at the Niagara Expo show, he showed screen shots of his fish finder and pointed out the walleyes, versus sheepshead and bass etc. It has to do with the sir bladders. So yes, those longer ribbons, strings are Walleyes. Bass and sheepshead show as hooks. Believe it or not. I WOULD SAY THOSE 2 OR 3 BIG ORANGE MARKS ON YOUR SCREEN ARE EYES THE REST IS EITHER BAIT OR SOMETHING ELSE.
