Stillwater Posted July 4, 2021 Report Posted July 4, 2021 Some are also strung with wire leader. They should take a beating. 1
RandyD Posted July 4, 2021 Report Posted July 4, 2021 I make mine out of the wire I make them with the quick change clevis’s so you can change blade colors. Don’t have to carry as many actual harnesses. And blades don’t take up much room either. Also in five years I can only remember one breaking. 2

I like my money staying local. And his prices are usually the same if not cheaper. 10 - 4 on that...I'm the same way. Let's keep it local boys
rkp Posted July 6, 2021 Report Posted July 6, 2021 Fished inner harbor and the line from the roundhouse to just past the elbow yesterday am. Picked up 11 from the inner harbor (15" to 20") plus lots of shorts, sheepshead and a nice 24" pike! All b bouncing and snap weights/ inline on worm harnesses. Copper/brass continues to be good along with rotten tomato & watermelon. Marked alot of fish out on the line from 12pm to 2pm along with lots of baitfish. Looked great just not interested in my offerings other than a nice smally. Windmills didn't look good at all. 1
Slapshot Posted July 10, 2021 Report Posted July 10, 2021 fished out of Buffalo this morning from 6:30- 11:30 in 58- 60 foot of water, ended up with 6, 5 on the downrigger at 53' and 1 on 7 color lead core, 1 on sticks and 5 on harnesses, silver back seem to work better than copper. Marked what seemed to be a lot of bait and fish higher up in the water column, when we marked fish in the 50- 56 foot range they were walleye. Still seems pretty slow for this time of year.

ciscokid Posted July 16, 2021 Report Posted July 16, 2021 I HAD A DAY LIKE THAT OUT IN FRONT OF THE SBH BETWEEN SENECA SHOALS AND THE LINE 5 YEARS AGO. THERE WERE AS MANY FISH ON THE SCREEN AS I HAD EVER SEEN AND WE COULDN'T BUY A BITE OF ANY KIND. SO WE FINALLY QUIT TOTALLY FRUSTRATING. TO MUCH BAIT?

TO MUCH BAIT?I met a guy at the fish cleaning station that said the dec wanted to clean his fish if they could examine them and take samples. The dec told him this is the best year for the bait fish in lake Erie. And he happened to have a nice catch, six to eight fish all 22 to 28 in. He said he launched out of sturgeon and I believe he came towards Buffalo because he said the ride back to sturgeon was tough.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Lake Erie United Mobile App

LOT OF GOOD SHEEPHEAD RECEIPES ON YOUTUBE AND HOW TO CLEAN THEM SO THEY TASTE GOOD. I AM NOT KIDDING. I'VE EATEN A FEW SMALL ONE TASTED FINE JUST NOT MUCH MEAT ON THE SHOULDERS. MY BUDDY KEEPS A JUNK FISH COOLER ON THE BOAT AND FEEDS THOSE FISH WHOLE TO HIS LABS AND BEAGLES. SHEEPHEAD BEST FIGHTER IN ERIE OTHER THAN A BIG MUSKY, CAT OR STURGEON. CLEANING A SHEEPHEAD IN THE CLEAN STATION WOULD GET ANYONE SOME MIGHT STANGE LOOKS. SORTA LIKE COOKING RATS! 1
ciscokid Posted July 18, 2021 Report Posted July 18, 2021 ONEDIA LAKE: I JUST GOT A REPORT FROM A FRIEND THAT WENT TO ONEDIA FOR A WEEK 2 FAMILES TWO BOATS GUYS THAT REALLY KNOW THE EAST END OF THE LAKE. HE SAID IT WAS THE WORST WEEK OF FIUSHING IN 20 YEARS. LOTS OF FISH MARKS, LOT OF BAIT, MAYFLY HATCH GOING NUTS. THIS IS THE 2ND FRIEND OF MINE THAT WENT TO ONEIDA WITH SMILAR RESULTS AND THE SAME CONDITIONS AND THESE GUYS ARE SERIOUS FISHERMEN. THIS SOUNDS A LOT LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON IN ERIE THIS YEAR BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THE UNSTABLE WEATHER IS A CONTRIBUTOR TOO.

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Lake Erie United Mobile AppI see a thermocline setup around 42' to 45' with baitfish right above it and the feeding fish hanging out right below it. I'd be targeting about 40' with cranks or spoons and trolling fast (2.5+ knots).Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk 2
