Got a two man limit. Most of ours came on 7 color lead core with a few coming off the downrigger and 2 off a bottom bouncer. Thank you to the guys at the launch who gave me the Intel. I hadn't planned on starting that deep but you put us right on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe lagreca Posted Sunday at 09:38 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:38 PM (edited) Great trip out of the catt today. We worked our same area out in front of the second set of windmills 85 out to 90 feet back-and-forth. Downlriggers 73 and 65 worm harnesses and sticks. And our super slim spoons once again on our dipsies 250 on a 3 setting and 150 on 1 setting. And of course all important down speed was just under 2 on a subtroll which would be almost 3 on the surface. Always a great experience at Hanover boat launch those guys are terrific in there. Lots of positive fishermen and great staff. Edited Sunday at 11:00 PM by joe lagreca 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tds840 Posted Monday at 02:57 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:57 PM (edited) Hats off to Joe Lagreca. After many frustrating trips with not a whole lot of success, I spoke with Joe and he gave some great tips that we were overlooking or not realizing that contributed to our failures. I put his advice to use Sunday morning when we fished out of the Catt. and what a difference it made, we had a great day and by far, one of our most productive. It's great to have guys like Joe on the forum who are willing to share their knowledge and help ALL of us enjoy the great fishing we have right here in our backyard. Thanks, again Joe !

gbill512 Posted yesterday at 01:20 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:20 AM Joe, September is great. Surface speed was 2.3, down speed was 1.4-1.6. and it didn't matter what direction we were going. I don't know if it was working properly or the downrigger blowback caused this, but dipseys were digging normally. WB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcra Posted yesterday at 06:48 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:48 PM Fished off the Catt on Monday, headed west off Center Rd between 78 & 88 fow. Got a 2 man limit on harnesses & dipsies. Riggers about 7'-10' off the bottom. Dipsies on 3 setting at 175' back. Riggers did a little better than the dipsies, & faster to get in the boat. Several of the walleye were over 25", the rest good eaters 17-21. Wasted more than an hour trying to find perch that we had marked earlier, went back to several spots & they had moved. Went out at 8am, back in by 2 pm. Great day on the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting for us, we fished Thursday n Friday Sept 12 n 13 out of Dunkirk in 70fow towards Catt with 2 riggers at 60 n 66 and 2 dipsys each side 190ft wire #3 setting n mag dipsy #1 setting 110. All stickbaits were run, Rogues, Bombers, n Excalibers. Thursday they wanted it fast, 2.5 to 2.8 at the ball. Friday, it had to be under 2.4mph at the ball with 2.2 best. The week before, 2.0 to 2.2mph at the ball. Not a lot of experience for us there as these were r first 2 trips ever but interesting seeing the wide variety of speeds they wanted...

Yes, they typically read higher. I was just commenting on how 1 day was 2.0 to 2.2 then 1 day was 2.5 to 2.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
