**emeraldshiner** · 07-12-2009, 08:15 PM

Saturday, 07/11/09 AM before storm. 52FOW W/NW of CEI 40 fish in 3hrs.
Sunday, 7/12/09 8:00am till 2:30pm. 52FOW N/NE of mouth straight off Sandcrest Apts. 30 nice fish in 2hrs then they shut-down. Moved to pack of boats 47' off CEI finished our limit but size was smaller and more junk fish in mix.
I will be trying some locations from previous years in the next couple of weeks, I will take quality size fish over quantity any day.

Any update on the pech fishing out of the Chagrin? Heard a lot of people yesterday saying they were slaying them, but the lake conditions kept us inshore.

We fished Friday in 48ft between shorgated and Euclid. Killed them. Limited in about 2hrs.

Going to try that same spot again this morning.

Another good day. West of chagrin, in front of shorgate towers. 49 ft. Ran out of bait before getting limit. Alot of sheephead and a few white bass mixed in. Mixed bag with the size of perch. Mostly keepers.

Really choppy today. Took longer to get there than it did to fish.

Fished the last several days between storms and changing lake conditions.
Fishing has been excellent anywhere weve gone between Shoregate and Mentor Lagoons.
Best catches have been at 46'-48'. Tried a spot off Sandcrest at 56' and had a slow bite but most fish were 10+" "JUMBOS".
Need boats for P.A.L. Kids (perch)fishing day August 13th. Contact Chagrin Bait and Tackle on Forest Dr for details.

Tried numerous spots. Radio chatter from Wildwood to the Fairport hump was pretty much the same - slow bite - small fish. Ended up off Euclid at East 260th in 48 fow. The bite picked up after 10 a.m. We quit about 1 p.m. with 15 keepers. We went through 6doz minnows, caught 3 Sheeps, a couple of White bass and a whole lot of small perch.

Fished 51 fow straight off Mentor Lagoons. Slow but steady bite. Fish seemed to have moved from areas around Chagrin. Finding minnows was tough but managed. Some bait stores seem to be selective as to who the sell minnows to when they are scarce. I will no longer do business with the store on the southeast corner of lakeshore and erie rd(without mentioning store name) again.

There are two bait shops at that location: Erieshore Bait & Beverage (southeast corner) and Northcoast Beverage & Tackle (northwest corner in shopping plaza).

I am from Willoughby and would rather buy my minnows local but
when know body has them, Shines on E 55th always has minnows.
I been down there last year and they were lined up out on the street.

Friday 8/14 51fow off Shorgate Towers 60 keepers 4hrs 6-8' off bottom, many throwbacks.
Saturday 8/15 50 fow off Americana 60 keepers 3hrs bottom up 10'.
Both days very light bite, minnows were mini-minies put 2-3 per hook, more productive than just 1.
