Catt Reports 2022...

[Stillwater]

Starting a thread for this season. Good luck to all.

fished out of the Catt yesterday and could only manage 2 eyes. trolled 2 5 color cores and 4 diver rods with a variety of sticks, spoons, and worm burners............ nice day to be out........ gas prices suck.

[Stillwater]

Thanks for sharing. Did you mark many and they just weren't feeding?

Fished a few hours Monday morning out of the Catt also and managed 3 nice walleyes.  We were in 50-60 fow and caught one on a stick-bait, out 8 colors, and the other two came on a worm harness, off a downrigger, down 45'.  Caught a few sheepshead, white bass, and two small perch.  Marked a lot of fish both up high and on the bottom but they just wouldn't go.  Agree that it was a nice day to be out there !

Haven't seen a lot of reports off the Catt, so thought I'd add one. We fished from 65' to 85 fow from Center Rd. to east of Evangola State Park. Not a lot of marks. Ended up with 3 walleye (19, 21, & 26) & a silver bass. 2 were caught on  riggers 5-7' off the bottom around 70 fow on purple/silver harnesses. One was caught on a water melon harness off a dipsy at 110' on a 2 setting. It was a nice day on the water. I hope the schools keep moving east.

Solo limit out of the Catt. tonight. Fished 530-8. 4 on worm burners, 2 on sticks. Ended with a double header. First time fishing alone. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Set up in 90fow, ended in 84fow. Lots o fish out there, go get ‘em.

[Stillwater]

Awesome job. Great pictures. How many lines did you run by yourself?

[backinthegame]

1 10-color, 1 dipsey, and 1 rigger to start. Ended with two dipseys and a rigger. Dipseys at 170’ back on a 3 setting with worm burners were the best setup tonight.

[Stillwater]

Thanks. Very good. I had been running 2 dipsies and that keeps me busy enough. Just got 2 10 color lead setups ready to go. I think they will be easier to run than the dipsies. My boat is a little squirrely to steer with 2 drift socks to keep speed down in the walleye zone.

Lots of fish out there. Caught 4 man limit Saturday and 3 man limit Sunday. Same program as before 4 dipsy’s. Best color was a copper and watermelon. 3 setting 215’ back. Fish didn’t seem to really turn on until after 8:30. After that it was fast and furious

We fished Sunday NW of Catt 80-85 fow right next to the border. Had our 3 man limit by noon. Released 2 more on the break down. Ran 4 diver rods. The #3 setting out 200 to 210 on high divers. The #1 setting out 160-170 on the low divers. On church boards we ran two 10 colors on one side . Other side we ran two 300 weighted steel rods.All rods had stick baits. Best colors were Bomber long A in Northern Lights and Blind Ambition. Can't believe it but caught no sheephead, no white bass. Only Walleye ! Finally got a good weather day !!!

[Stillwater]

Congratulations on a great day!

Fished yesterday afternoon and evening. Towed a guy in who was stranded out in 70 fow which delayed our fishing for about 3 hours. Bite had slowed by the time we got started. Ended up with 4 walleye and 5 nice perch. Nice afternoon regardless.

[backinthegame]

Took two first timers out with me this morning. Got set up a little before 7am closer to Dunkirk in 80fow. Worked 80-90fow and had 10 in the boat pretty quick. An inexperienced fisherman turned right across the back of us and hooked one of our 10 color leadcores on a planer board. The whole fiasco cost us some time and we ended up getting off of the fish. We didn’t lose any of our gear so hopefully they learned a lesson. Once we got back on them, it was game on. We ended the day with a double header. Had our 3 man limit by noon, two throwbacks and some bonus perch. Hooked a few monster sheepshead unfortunately. Deep rigger with a “Grape Ape” worm burner was by far our best setup. Introducing two good friends to Lake Erie walleye fishing was a great pleasure today.

 

[Dcra]

Nice job backinthegame! Where can I buy that grape ape harness?

[backinthegame]

Thanks! That particular pattern is sold out at FishUSA currently. Nick’s Sporting Goods on Kenmore Ave. might have them though so just give Roy a call. If not try Dick’s Sporting Goods. Good luck!

Fished 80-90fow today, found pockets of very cold water (47-60*) 60’ down and lower, right where we have been doing well lately. Had 75* down 75’ in this area Thursday. We did our best to pivot and make the best of it with some different tactics. The bite really slowed up for us after 8am and we really had to work for the last few fish of our limit. “Northern Lights” Bomber Long A on 10-color leadcore saved the day for us.
