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.

Re: Lorain and Cleveland
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.Last edited by Erie Encounter; 05-23-2021 at 01:31 PM.

do any of you go out to 72 FOW where the walleye are.
do you just go out anywhere and expect them to jump on the hook.
I limit out more than 80 % of the time and I am in a 12' aluminum boat.
some of you need to try harder.

The amount of fuel you would need to get there and back and troll ... wouldn’t seem like it would fit on the boat

I used 8-10 foot leads
my lines got tangled and I had to cut them
I forgot my 25 LB. Mono that day and had to use a 42" leader
since that pole had the Yellow lure it still caught the most fish
YELLOW has been the color since MAY
I started using 3-4 foot leaders they worked just as good
I have 125 foot of 1 color then 125 foot of another color that puts lines out 250 feet
If anyone needs exact size weights
I go on EBAY. send a message to sellers who sell that style weight
ask for the weights you want
my first order was for 3-4-5 oz pyramid weights 10 of each 30 total for 25 dollars shipping included
this is the time to get best prices
Van Dam ware house had the best prices on Bandits $ 5.84 I had to order 9 to have free shipping
I put 200 feet then 125 feet then 125 feet 450 total
first 200 40 lb braided then 30 lb braided then 20 lb braided
both 40 and 30 lb are cheaper lines about 13-17 dollars for 1000 meters on Ebay
line near lure is 20 lbs. 37 dollars for 1000 meters on Ebay
I have not had any fish break my 20-30-40 lbs. braided lines since I started fishing again from a boat in 2019
nor have any broke my 25 lb Mono
my biggest Trout 27+ inches about 7 1/2 lbs. and Walleye 28+ inches about 7 1/2 lbs. in 1 year of fishing
I let about 400 feet of line out once this year just to try it.
after about 50 minutes I reeled it in since it was the only pole NOT to catch a fish.
I found a small 11 inch walleye on it. so all of my poles had caught a fish that morning I just did not realize it.
my old 2 stroke engine used about 4 gallons my new 4 stroke uses about 2 Gallons
there is Peace with a 4 stroke 2 strokes give me a head ache Higher Noise Level
