picked up two 4pound eyes on a south to north drift at 31-14 line. We fished from 6:30 am to 2o pm. The rest fo our catch was sheephead, a couple gobies and 6 small perch. Beautiful day to be on the lake !!!

Went out of the Chagrin about 6pm on 7/14. 60-64 fow. Marked a lot of fish at the 45 foot mark. So we ran big dipsy's on 3, 145, and on 1, 105. Boated a bunch of sheephead till I speeded up from 1.2mph to 1.6. One nice 26 inch walleye, a handful of jumbo perch. Most were on little stingers. We ran little stingers, big stingers, and worm harnesses. LIttle stingers seemed to be the most productive. FIshed for 2-3 hours.

first post here, love the site loaded with "USEFULL" information.
Went out the 20th on monday morning. lake was glass 0-2 footers. went out 12-13 miles like odnr says 65-70' of water. 185-200' line out with dipsys and spoons. got one white bass and a 17" walleye. i gotta tell you lake erie isnt like it was two years ago. we could not find the fish!!! we were marking fish from a mile north of the pumping station. starting trolling around 3-4 miles north of the station, 63' of water. tryed fast, slow, shallow, deep, downrigger, dipsys, worm harness, everything. and we got nothing!!! somebody post good news, its depressing not catching fish. BTW holler if you see us! we stand out like a soar thumb. 14' tracker deep v named IVA MARIE.

I come down for 2 weeks in a whole year from Florida to stay at a family cottage by elk creek. So far I have only caught 4 walleye in about 14 hours of trolling with a spinner and weight. Anyone have any locations around elk creek or crooked creek where I would have better luck. Paying $64 for a year license that only gets used 14 days out of a year is annoying, especially if the walleye fishing sucks.
