chascurt Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 Planning a trip next week and wondering if anyone's catching "eyes" around the islands or Port Clinton, Marblehead area.
greg2ha Posted March 22, 2017 Report Posted March 22, 2017 Wow can't believe no one responded. How was your trip?Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
chascurt Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Posted March 23, 2017 Didn't get to go, greg2ha. That post was last fall and the weather wasn't good. I've never fished Erie in the fall and wanted to give it a try. Getting everything ready to start trips next month. Usually fish April through July.
jimski2 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Posted March 23, 2017 All winter long Huron, Ohio anglers have been taking limits of large walleye in the open water this winter. Trolling stickbaits with 2 oz. weights clipped on at various lengths off side planers at speeds of .7 to 1.0 MPH. Clear waters are found out to several miles off shore produced. Check out the reports at "Ohio Game Fishing site, Lake Erie reports" forums.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
greg2ha Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 Great news! I was thinking about buying a Off Shore weight set. chascurtLet me know how you do. My charter trip is first weekend of June but I might head over with my boat before then to check it out. Good luck!GregSent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Seabee75 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 Save your money and just buy standard lead weight, 1oz, 2oz, etc and put them on the offshore clips yourself. I'm sure you already have a plastic lure box to put them im. I have 1oz to 5oz and enough for 4 side planners.Fish On!!
jimski2 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 Red rubber band them to your line. Quickly tear them off. Cheaper and fast to use them.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United
Bluefin54 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 What kind of planner boards do you guys use? I have the set up for multiple lines off one board. Debating if I want to set it up on my boat Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
greg2ha Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 I have OR-12's 2 sets but just getting started with the whole planner board thing.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

chascurt Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Posted April 5, 2017 Bluefin, I use Aurora Lites in the mid size. I really like them, they pull pretty hard and stay out beside the boat. They also fold up nicely to store. Having said that, If I had it to do over, I'm being told there are some other brands out there that equal the AL's at much lower prices, and I'd check them out. I also just bought a couple sets of OR-12's thinking they'll be easier to use if there are only two of us on the boat. Whether you use inlines or big boards, it's kinda like pickup trucks, everybody you talk to is going to tell you something else is better. 1

My Way Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 They were getting eyes trolling around the cans, at least last weekend (Sunday April 2) the water temp was 40 degrees, using shorter leads on the Bandits & Khaki at 25 back, speeds between 1.5-1.8 mph. But that was then, today winds gusting at 48 kt, waves 4-5 ft. Tomorrows forecast not much better; 23-26 kt, decreasing to 17-20 kt in the afternoon waves 3-4 ft., the Western Basin will look like chocolate milk, it will take days to clear up. 1
