Left Vermilion dock at 7:00am and tossed a coin whether to head for the Lorain Dumping Ground or out to the Weather Buoy. The shorter drive won and we headed East.
Found fish on the South end of the dump and set lines running inline boards with 3oz inlines pulling harness's.
After an hour without a single bite pulled the lines and headed to East of the top of the dump.
Found fish in 50fow, set up running 2oz weights on one side and Tru-Trip 40's on the other side.
Fish were around 40ft down so we trolled West and across the top end of the dump.
marked fish all the time and no bites.

Switched the harnesses on one side to #7 Flicker Minnows 100 and 80 back.
Have first proper good pull back for last 3 weeks on the 80 back line and it came to the surface but we lost it halfway to the boat.
Then the other Flicker Minnow fired and a really good fish, again came to the surface but lost it within a few seconds.
Changed all 4 lines to Flicker Minnows and managed to pull 3 fish about 16"
No white bass or sheephead.
BTW I don't like the really small trebles on the #7 Flicker Minnows.

Should have made the longer run to the buoy where I believe they did much better.

Will be back at them next weekend.
