Re: Saturday in 27 - 30 FOW
I have caught them on leads of 20 feet over 20 feet of water as late as fathers day out of Rocky River.

Re: Saturday in 27 - 30 FOW
Hey thanks Rickerd! I've only fished Erie a couple years now. Never got them that high even though I probably marked a thousand up there...lol. Seems I have probably been running below them all this time. Next time I mark them up there, I'll try 10, 15, 20 and 25. And run shallowest the farthest out right? Thanks again yo everyone who helps with these posts!!
Re: Saturday in 27 - 30 FOW
longest leads are further out. Unless your inside lines run and steeper angle than outside. This allows your outside lines to travel over the inside lines when bringing in a fish. Hopefully. But that is why longest leads go outside.
Unless you are running big boards, then it doesn't matter since a fish will pull out the line and fall back to the chute.

Re: Saturday in 27 - 30 FOW
Yes Sir. I run big boards. Longest outside normally for sure. For very shallow leads I thought I would try shallowest outside due to spooky fish in clearer water. Let's say I run 15, 20 and 25 it 30. The extra line out to the releases will allow them to swing over. I have been fishing underneath them many times I am afraid. Next time I may shut down and drift and cast too?

We were west of the islands Saturday and did well at all depths. We were bringing in one of our lines and I saw a walleye follow the lure from about 5 feet in back of the boat and he hit it right at the boat at the top of the water.

Wow. Thanks PatSea for the info!
