Turtle Creek area 6-1-16

[Lazy Ike]

Two of us will be headed out of Turtle Creek area at daybreak tomorrow. The plan is to start southwest of West Sisters in about 15 FOW and troll towards B Can. Thinking of starting with 2 Bandits 60 and 90 feet back, and 2 Stinger Spoons over the side on 3 oz. bottom bouncers. This will be my first trip this year trolling and wondering if I am in the ballpark with this area and program... Any help appreciated.. Lazy Ike on channel 68

Ran West yesterday from C to B can, parallel to the can line, picked up 9 running gold bandits 2mph 70-80 back. Good luck!

Hey iSlayer was there any size to the fish you caught?

[iSlayer]

Smallest was 19" and the biggest was 27". Bigger fish seemed to hit light and just barely drag the boards back...just the opposite for the smaller fish.

Thanks ! Seems those bandits,ring the dinner bell for the bigger bite

We were at turtle creek all weekend. We started trolling Bandits just north of Big Pickerel and headed to B can. 3 man limit all three days. Started before daylight at 30 to 45 back and then dropped them to 55-75 as the sun got higher in the sky.

Even caught my first Lake Erie MUSKEY... 29"


Took two guys out Sunday night that had only caught 2 fish (they fished for 3 days). We fished from 9:30 PM to 11:00 pm. Pulled 7. Started same place and headed North. First line hooked up before we got the second one set. 35 back. Trolled about 2 miles and picked up 2 more. Made a turn and headed back raised the lines up to 25-35 back as we were marking everything up high.. Picked up 4 more. Lost a board in the dark so we called it quits.. I just ordered some battery powered LED lights to put on the boards. LOL

1.8 to 2.2 sog

I use glowsticks at night. A whole pack costs $5 (50 in a pack i believe). They're maybe 8"-10" long. I hook them to my flags using rubber bands. Started doing this after losing an offshore board night fishing.
