Thanks! That's what I figured. Unfortunately I can't get out to the 70 FOW depth in the yak, time to wait it out!

I caught one last week. I never really ever fished for them. Usually got one fishing for something else. It was pretty tasty.

you need to go to deeper water and fish deeper right now. we were not getting any keepers until we hit 72' to 74' fishing 45' to 50' down. we were...

we were marking tons of fish deep but no takers. we fished them for 2 hrs and only caught 2 fish. moved everything up to target the fish we were...

Nice to see a few rock bass grew up catching them and if I remember correctly they are great table fair.

Got minnows this morning at Bite Me Bait. When I went in, I asked "You got goldies?" Answered yes. Went south of B. Slow pick, decent at first,...

Well, some of those hogs could be fish steaks? Thanks for the note. ~Water Dog

Yellow perch and "steaks," show me how to do that! I know you meant streaks;) Rickerd

No relation to "Rickard's Bait." My buddy been calling me that since we met in HS. Best, Rickerd

30 more yellow perch, golden's spreaders and a light bite 3 hours and plenty of white perch with a few sheep head some nice hogs in the mix for 9...

Try frozen emerald shiners if you have them down in your area.

Can I ask how deep of water?

Well I can send you a pic, if thatl work? You are on my Friends list I think. It looks just how you would think..lol

Well, I can send you a Pic if thatl work?

I have had one for a few years . It works great , makes raising the b Anchor a lot easier for this old man. Try one you will like it.

Thanks for sharing the ⚓ ball thread Capt Tacky. Just watched the YouTube video about it. Pretty cool. Never seen that before. I had an electric...

Are you by chance the Rickerd that had the bait shop at 53 & 163 until last fall?

A south wind for a couple days might help. That will bring up cooler water from depths and baitfish along with it. If you keep up your effort, when...

Yeah that is the same thing we were doing. We even tried 3 ounce snap weights to fish deeper we ran off riggers and dipsies too. Like I said we...

Very helpful. I really appreciate your insight! -Mike

IF you anchor off stern, be extra careful a large wave doesn't take the boat down. I've heard more than a few boats go under this way through the...

We drove right past you Saturday morning.Saw a few boats around the shoal but you must have been too far away to recognize.Good job on finding and...

Yes, the 2oz were running at 29' and the Bandits with 3oz with the same amount of line out were a little deeper. Exactly how deep? I couldn't tell...

We set up out in 38 feet of water, out in front of Cedar Point. The Ulterra was pointed in a northeasterly direction and the kicker pushed us along...

what depth were you fishing? all our fish came from 45 to 50 ft down. 3 setting 170 back 2 setting 150 back 1 setting 135 back, downrigger set at 45...

That's the general idea but it's not perfect. LC varies a ton with speed due to the thicket diameter. I don't even know what brand of LC I have,...

I agree with Jules comment on a different post. We probably shouldn’t go down this path. It’s a fishing site and I have been a member here longer...

West Marine has a Anchor Pull Ball ,$75 works every time , just snap it on to the Anchor Line power the boat slow and it pops it up all the way to...
