So the half hour before the total eclipse I think we caught 3 walleye and 4 or 5 drum. During the totality I don't think any of us got a hit. So it seemed like they were more active during the...

A couple months back when I became aware of the coming eclipse and the fact that the total eclipse would be coming through the south side of Erie, I made the decision that, weather permitting, I...

I was out there today and didn't have much luck. I spent most of the day trolling. First over by Breast Bay because of the NW wind. Only caught one there. By 11 I left and headed for Turtle Creek....

Thanks for the report Capt. Juls! Glad that the youngster could get out there and enjoy a nice day on the water and catch some nice eyes! I am looking at next weekend possibly getting out again. One...

Ok, that makes sense now that I know you are talking about spinning reels. I only use reels with a built in line counter, but maybe it would be worthwhile considering adding a line counter to a...

I have started buying the Shimano Tekota 400 model because of it's faster retrieve rate, but it's only rated for 35" per turn. What models are you seeing that have 48" per turn?

Thanks for the reports Lee's Lads and Tuna Chaser. It seems like some of the nicer size eyes are still staging a little further east. I would have thought that these larger females would be further...

I also fish by myself but have been able to tie up on the permanent concrete docks. I tie up to the steel ladders.

Thanks for the report again Juls, glad you had a very successful day and a quick...

Thanks Tuna Chaser!

Thanks again for the report Captain! I was probably 7 miles further east than you and the water was just slightly stained which I liked. We got most of our fish from 7:30 to 11 and then it came to a...

Got to take a friend along with me today and had a really great day on beautiful Lake Erie. We launched out of Vermilion just before sunrise and got out on the lake in time to see the sun rise over...

I am planning to head out tomorrow (Monday) morning. I think we will try further east with the way the MODIS is looking right now. I will post results by Tuesday. Should be quite calm out there...

I was out Saturday, the 10th, and Mazurik was basically totally clear of ice other than a little on the west side of the west concrete pier. Had no problem launching by myself and tying up to the...

Anyone know if Catawba or Mazuriks is clear of ice yet? I'm assuming Huron is ok but would like to launch further west. Thanks!

From the Catawba webcam I am seeing quite a few guys getting out to the west of Catawba. Wonder how much ice is there and how they are doing? Haven't noticed anyone around the islands yet from...

It was wet, overcast and foggy most of the day, just how the walleyes like it :). It was also very calm, but that didn't seem to matter. Launched out of Catawba about the time of sunrise and headed...

Thanks Ranger! I was out this afternoon for a couple hours and got my limit Southeast of the Cedar Point dump. Most were high in the water column as well.

Just curious if anyone has been out recently and found some hotspots?
Making the trip to Erie this weekend. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Not a problem, itsbob! Not the first time that's happened and I'm sure it won't be the last. BTW, itsbob, I enjoy your posts, so keep them coming :)

Thanks for the pointers Mike and Slick Willie. I had 2 different setups going, on some of the rods I had nothing but the snap connected to the crank and on some other rods I had a swivel, then a 5'...

Up until the last couple times when I went out I have always been using snap swivels to attach my crankbaits. So after reading some post from guys that are just using a simple snaps instead of a snap...

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I am running a 24 volt Ulterra on two 156 AH Lithium batteries, so running out of power is not an issue unless I try to run 2 days without charging. Thanks for the...

Thanks for that clarification Capt. Juls! Yes, I am a biological male the last time I checked and I identify as a male as well, LOL.

Thanks for another great report Capt. Juls! I do have a question about your trolling method of using your "baby Merc" and the Terrova simultaneously. What advantages do you see of doing this if...

Hey Mike, I found this part of your report to be very interesting and informative. I will need to log this in my memory bank (or what's left of it) for future trips. Thanks for the great report as...
