Lorain 7/8

[Sodbuster]

I usually post on western basin page but headed east this weekend. Waited big waves out and lainched at 430 or so. Headed into the wind and waves north by north east and got solid into 50s. Dropped 4 dipseys at 2.3 mph. Zeros 120 three's 180. Zeros fired faster than we could get them in. All smalls. Had 2 keepers and buddy called and was wacking them. Changed out program. 1.4 mph bandits on boards. 120 to 70 both sides. Got 10 keepers in all and 31 shorts by 730. Called it quits as wife was seas sick. Bandits at 70 back caught two slob fat 28 inchers. Headed back Saturday morning to fish 7 to 10 am.

Headed back out Saturday to the same area but the winds were changing. Conditions were a lil bit better. Got 10 keepers, 2 sheep head and 20 shorts in 2 hours. On and off before rains hit. The ramp was a congested mess as 100 boats were trying to beat the rain off. Again bandits chrome and blues 120 back were hot! Bandits 70 back only caught a couple but were bigger fish.

Sumday were put on just after 6. Saturday evening as we watched the lake from shore was glass with the offshore winds. But no... sunday morning north winds were cranking again. We went out in 2s and 3s. Seen a couple pushing 4. Hit 50 foot, turn towards lighthouse and trolled back in. We had our 12, a dozen shorts and a crap load of huge sheephead by 9. Funny we didn't mark very many fish at all. Practically none but 38 foot was magic. Usually 3 at a time and with wife sick and unable to stand most of the time we went 1 for 3 when it happened. Same program. Bandits 120 moat fish. But 70 back bigger fish. Hard to believe the diference in fish from 20 foot down to 15 foot down.
