August 24th and 25th...the walleye are still out there! Limits both days using same setup as my last post. Between the 02 line and 03 lines seemed to be best though. About two hours fishing both days, 7:30 am put in time and out by noon on Monday. Tuesday, put in at 4:30 pm and out by 8 pm. Hot lures...black and white harness, brown colored spoon, watermellon colored spoon and harness, blue and silver harness...didn't matter much what we had out, it caught fish! Go get 'em!

Went out of Ashtabula Friday morning, September 4th. Had heard eyes moved out a little further so started fishing straight North of the light house at 9 miles out. Fish finder was just lit up so we started fishing. Man did we catch junk fish. We did pick up 12 walleye and 6 perch using same setup as previous posts from me. Lake was calm and sunny. Started fishing at 7am and shut down at 3pm and headed in. We ended up catching the most walleye between the 05 and 09 line trolling in a North direction with some zig zagging. There were a lot of boats out and listening to radio chatter some guys were doing OK and some were struggeling. We had a blast and caught some nice fish but we did not limit out. Wonder how much the full moon really affects the fishing???
