Hey Larry..how much weight were you using to bottom bounce in 90fow? We're they actually on bottom? And did you switch up to that setup because of short bites? Thanks in advance for your reply

I was out yesterday after swapping out all the heart in my boat once again when I saw the wind and wave forecast for Dunkirk. Glad I made the trip. 9 keepers, 8 throwbacks with a few of the throwbacks that we could have kept. Riggers parked at 70 with the rainbow renoski and wire dipsey at 210 setting 1 1/2 with an alewife michigan stinger, also a mono dipsey with the same stinger as Monday at anywhere from 140 to 180 set at 1. The mono dipsey had only one throwback this time but the wire landed our first 30" eye. We fished from 105 out to 112 with the best depth at 105.  Should have been in 80 though. A guy and his wife that we talked to at the dock had their limit and a lot of catch and release in there slow trolling worm harnesses.

Great drive home until we got stuck on the thruway for an extra half hour for a hazmat clean up of a truck chemical spill halfway between Buff and Roch. what a PIA.

Emerald shiners, run a sinker, then a hook 6in to 1ft above and a second hook a foot above that. Send it to the bottom over a good screen and your off to the races.

I stopped yesterday at 68' in one of my go to spots off Dunkirk for a minute to scout for perch. Screen had lots of bait and lots of hooks. I am sure most of those hooks were sheapies but there were some bottom huggers there that might have been perch. Last two years in a row on the last day of August I had descent catches of 30-35 perch on those dates. The bite there got worse though both years as Sept rolled in.  We are all hoping that the perch of only a few short years ago return.  There seems to be no shortage of them in the western basin.
