Sluggo / NY Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Fished most of last week out of Barcelona Harbor. Did best east of the harbor around Brocton Shoal. Larger fish seemed to be over deeper water on the outside of the shoal.. Fish on or inside ran smaller, but still nice fish. We ended up with around 35, with most in the 3 to 4 lb. range. Never really patterned them. One day it was mostly harnesses, the next day it was all stickbaits. Can't even offer a preferred depth as we got them from 35 to 60 feet down. Surface temp was in the mid seventies and we still read 70+ 60 feet down. We're going to give it another shot next week. If you want lakers.. Just drop a spoon down to bottom in 120 feet or so and wait a couple of minutes. It took us about 10 minutes to grab a couple for the smoker. I'll try to attach a few pictures.. Good Fishing, Sluggo (Chris)

One came on a silver Sutton 88.. The other on a watermellon NK. I honestly don't think it matters.. They'd probably hit a beer can if you put it down there.

lafcallen33 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 Fish Barcelona Thursday-Sunday during the con-club derby. Honestly lost count as to how many fish we boated my best guess was near 100, caught fish from 85-135 feet of water best 9 gave us 67.13lbs good enough for 3rd overall. Fish ranged from 14inches to 31" every fish came on sticks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
