This is the time of year when emerald shiners get scarce...golden ones will work, but I'd rather have emeralds...even salted ones. The guys that go out on the lake to net them can't find them...they say.

Cheers, Docwet

I'll keep my emeralds from ice fishing and freeze them or buy salted ones if need be for times like this then when scarce. I know the bait shops are getting the emeralds off beach 11 and a few other places.
I may do a perch trip or 2 by friday but then back onto the wallys since its a warm spell again back in the 80's. My buddy smoked them pretty good this morning.

thanks for the report steve. It is hard to get much info on erie,pa. I always fish ohio and have went out of walnut the last couple times and had some action with no info. Renosky's behind dipsy's been good.

yea everyone is afraid your going to get there spot, blah blah blah but fish move and everyone has a different technique , lures, not too mention trolling speed. Lake is big enough for all. But you will run into some arrogant tards. Us locals call them mupere's. They are from Pittsburgh. They say, "I'm mup ere from Pixburg." Some are cool but some are rude & its worse when the steelhead are in the creeks. I've even been cut off in line waiting at the stop sign at walnut to put my boat in because they have no patience to wait his turn in line. Or your cut off coming into the marina as they due mach 10 passing you and running wake in the channel. Thats one reason many of us will put in elsewhere than at Walnut.
