Lorain and Cleveland

[Bona Nova]

Went out of Gordon park on9/5. Got skunked. Couldn`t even mark fish on the break wall.

I use to limit going out to 63-68 about 7 miles off Ashtabula. I am now comfortable at 72 FOW. constant 2 footers are also within my comfort level.
No I will not be going out to 15 miles at all. the first time I went out on lake Erie I went out 300 yards and came back in nervous even that was beyond my comfort level. all the walleye have been on the bottom all of September. yellow has been the best color for me. there are very few fish on fish finder at any depth.

I wasn't gong to post, but decided to maybe help someone decide where to go.

Fished Lorain 5/22 3pm to 9pm. Managed one 24" Walleye

Trolled 3 miles West of the Lighthouse and marked decent fish, but everything seemed to have lock jaw. Started with Dipsys running everywhere between 15-40ft down with speeds adjusted to low two's to 3.1 and even tried zig zag patterns with various speeds. Used spoons, big and small, used crawler harnesses, and used shallow crank baits big and small. After about several hours picked up and moved to the dumping ground where we trolled for about and hour and a half (saw very few marks). Pulled lines and went back to the original area where we used bandit's and reef runners on boards. Picked up our only walleye on a bandit around 8pm . Good luck to everyone.
