I Doug Lewis fish out of Ashtabula
it is 11 miles out to 72 FOW
I use 2 Gallons of gas
I use a 9.8 Tohatsu 2021 outboard
it takes me 1 hour to get out 1 hour to get in
I troll at 2.5-2.9 miles per hour for 4-8 hours
I have yet to hook a walleye above 3 MPH
I have heard 3.2 up to 3.5 MPH from some fisherman
is that a true speed or a false speed
I try different speeds lures weights
Chartreuse also known as Yellow Bandits have been good since June
the walleye have been at 71-73 FOW all of SEPTEMBER out of Ashtabula
I have to use 5 OZ weights since walleye are near bottom
all my numbers are true
the bigger boats go right past me at 72 FOW
and Yes I do have to steer out of the way of some of these Jack-Asses
