Minnow boats still unable to catch shiners, few boats are catching few shiners but no quanity. Most bait stores will have golden shiners but they are not real abundant. Weekend weather chances of showers but according to wtol.com weather sounds like it should be good fishing . Hopefully better weather will put the walleye bite back in town. Perch bite has been great NW of West Sister Island lots of jumbo's When water was less muddy good perch bite around Little pickerel and north of B-Can. Maybee within next few nights they will be able to catch shiners.
i dont know how far away you are. when the shop is out in point place we can always get them at fishermans cave on summit st. just over the michigan line.
went out of catabaw this morning fished half mile south from middle of island 30ft of water 3 hrs 90 perch 19lbs at cleaner, any color seemed to work
got minnows..goldens from happy hooker...they worked just fine...thanks to all the folks at the HAPPY HOOKER again ...if it was not for them the day would have not been so fun...8.5 miles out of T.C. 29 ft of water all good fish a few throw backs...;)
Pardon my lack of Lake Erie Knowledge but what is T.C.
TC = Turtle Creek Marina
How long has this emerald shiner shortage been going on?
I have had good luck with the golden shiners~!
The shortage is about in its 17th day now. Richards bait shop in port Clinton has been selling a 50/50 mix of emerald/creek chub.. I had good luck with both of them this last weekend...
I assume they are taling about Turtle Creek.
Lots of rain probably close to 2" over night and this a.m.{ better check bilge pumps} Pretty much unfishable this a.m. did hear the head boats went out this pm. but it couldn't be pleasant. This past weekend perch fishing was really good for some and some struggled. Shiner's still missing in action, very few are being caught. Big thing to look out for this week and weekend is the weather. (wtol.com click on weather) Hopefully weather will break and they will catch shiners. Still no great walleye reports few being picked up north of West Sister. Next report has to be better, can't get much worse.
