I wonder if anyone has tried out deeper for bigger fish?? Last weekend I did notice cranks brought in slightly larger fish.

Thanks for the report Rick, same story to your east.

It took most of the day but around 5pm I was able to get the boat off the trailer. First trip out always comes with unexpected obstacles, this year the thermostat gasket was leaking.

Because of...

Thanks Prime Time for the detailed report. I never fished off Shades before, Is the a boat ramp there or do you make the drive from near by?

Thanks Seaswirl, yep its been a tough year.
I'm off the water the next two weekends but plan on getting back at it on the 27th. Keep us updated of the tournament this weekend if you find anything...

So I was wondering, has anyone tried out past the second trench this year? I've never fished way out, I mean pasted our normal 4 to 6 miles out. I was wondering if maybe it would be worth the drive...

We fished deeper Sunday and did better. Straight out of Walnut to about 55 fow, Dipsy set on 1.5 and 110 feet of line out did most of the work. We were off to a pretty good start and one of the new...

Thanks for the info Fishnfun.
We will be back out this Sunday (tomorrow), haven't decided where yet. Either going to be Walnut again or maybe North East, I haven't been out of North East in years....

We fished mostly 50 fow west of Walnut. We started about half way between the Ohio line and the marina. Altogether we had 5 Walleye, 2 Sheep Head and a few White bass on the line. As for the Walleye,...

I will be going out of Walnut Friday and probably Saturday, will post results. Channel 68 if anyone wants to share info.

Wow, that's great Rubycat.
We had a top secret tip that only a few knew of (NOT) - Hit the Ohio line and fish the 48 to 52 fow. We left Walnut for the Ohio line and there must have been 100 boats...

HI Guys,
I wasn't sure where to ask this question so I hope its in the right place, if not maybe the Admin will move it.

Those of you that include downriggers to your setup, what size line do...

I use Dipsy's a lot also and just use the chart that came with it when bought new. Dipsy packaging has that tri-fold depth chart they include. Now when targeting a depth I use the chart and add...

Can I ask how deep the water was?

Thanks for the report BTW

Nice job Rubycat, thanks for the report.

I really am getting the itch to fish the 48 fow west of Walnut, I have a wedding to go to Saturday but thinking about taking Friday off work. For sure we...

Shedidntno,
I agree, some people are catching them. Like I said that charter boat I was behind at the marina did really good. I'm a member on another site and guys are catching them. One common...

We also caught one of the smallest eye's I ever seen. About 6".

I think the plan this weekend is to head west away from the marina a ways and start in shallow (48-50) fow. See what happens!

I hope you did better then we did, ROUGH DAY. We started troll just outside the nets in about 55 fow, east towards the point. Nothing. Finally moved to west side of the marina in front of Elk creek -...

Best producing setup for me has been 2 dipsey's out each side and downrigger per side. Dipseys are set on 3 and 1, with 3 being the forward rod. The downriggers are mounted on the back corner and...

Nice report Rubecat.

We will be going out of Walnut Sunday. I will make sure we post results.

eyetroller, You're welcome. Here's a few pictures from yesterday.

Little better day today.

Started the day around 6:00am, headed out to 50 fow North West from marina. Picked up three on the first pass, dark colors worked the best. Worn harnesses in purple/black...

Hi Congo,
I fish mostly out of Walnut in Fairview Pa., I think this is a little more East then you're thinking in October. I've fished up until September very good results in years past.

As...

First trip out this season, nothing to great to report yet. Went north out of the marina, turned so the wind could push us. Trolled west in 40 to 42 fow. Few good mark but no takers.

If you're...

Walnut parking lot was packed at 7:30am when I arrived. On my way out to the 2nd trench I passed all those boats at about 5.5 miles out. Must have been 100 boats, looked like a small city. Radio said...
