you can get the Bubba off eBay for just over 120.00 but I did find one listing for 90.00. make sure you get one with 2 lithium batteries and either 4 or 5 blades in a case or pouch if you go this...

they are costly but the Bubba knife in either lithium battery or corded is my choice for electric knives. the battery knife seems to stay at full power after cleaning 12 fish in the 3# to 4# class...

I started fishing Erie's western basin drift fishing back in the late 70s. but after a few years, we started trolling. then moved to the central basin at Geneva Ohio and took a charter out 2 days....

i think i might just throw my 2 cents in. the best way to get to the Geneva ramp is to go towards the state park campgrounds then follow the signs to the boat ramp. once you make the turn into the...

thanks for correcting me, I had it arse backwards.

the way I understand it's 200' of line out add the 3oz weight then let out 50' more, for a total of 250' of line out. the first number in line out without weight then after attaching the weight the...

don't know if you're still following your post, but the way your fishing makes all the difference in the world. we started drifting the western basin with spinning gear and 8# trilene xl line. when...

I started fishing the western basin around 1980 and it was easy to just drift with weight forward spinners 3/8 oz to 1/2 oz is all we needed. we used spinning gear and just let out line. then set our...

the eyes haven't been on the reefs for months. they have moved out to open water. we always did good from just south of the west sister island to northwest of the island. I'm not sure which intake...

I run my lite bite slide divers down to 65' set on a 4.5 setting which is about equal to a dipsy set on 3. I got my dive curve by running in 50' of water and letting out line until it started bumping...

I haven't fished it lately but in past years you got some great advice from pfk. you can catch fish in shallower water but most will be small or trash. normally this time of year I start at 74' and...

if your dipsy drops back faster than the lure it is destined to tangle. As the dipsy drops back it does so as fast as it gets line. but the lure is much lighter and it will suspend when the dipsy...

letting them out too fast will cause the problem. slow down letting them out and that should cure the problem. make sure it's not tangled when you put the diver in the water. I like to have my lure...

I'm not getting to fish this year. but this time of year I recommend starting around 74' of water and fishing deep. if the wind allows try trolling north 1st. we just run straight north out of the...

an absolutely great report, thank you for posting your great 2 days of fishing. we fish out of Geneva starting after mid July. not going to make it this year for our annual 1 week trip. deeper water...

if you want a line for inline boards you can use Trilene xl 12# but a lot of people want something a little more scratch resistance. if you're
running dipsy style divers you want 30# power pro.

this is great advice for jigging the reefs. but you might want a set of medium drift bags, if it's windy you can run 1 off each end of the boat to slow it down so your drift isn't too fast, but some...

just about a month from now we have had great luck drifting weight forward spinners in deeper water near the reefs. but that was years ago. but with all the eyes in the lake now it should really up...

just so you know while fishing the central basin out of Geneva Ohio when we fisf harnesses we start at the 1.8 to 2.0 speed. but have fished down to 1.6 or 2.2 to get fish. when running small spoons...

OH, I forgot we like to run them around 2.5 to 3.0 but mostly shoot for 2.7 and adjust the speed up or down if needed.

dreamweaver dw spoons are 1 of my top favorite in the 3 3/4 size. the best color we have used is the purple alewife. but they have many good colors.

another great spoon is the Michigan Stingger in...

my speed is based on what type lures i am using. even in mid summer in the central basin with harnesses we have had days where 1.6 was our best speed, other times 2.2 worked best but our starting...

I have to give you a huge KUDOS for this thread from all the guys starting out with dipsies. the way i got started was by going out on a great charter on the central basin. by mid-day, we were...

if you need more sealine sg17lca reels used i have 5 that are in working order plus 3 for parts cheap. at least 1 if not 2 of the parts reels the line counter doesn't work but one of another reel...

there is great fishing to be had still but they will start moving west before long so get them while you can. I didn't get to make it up to Geneva for our annual 1-week trip this year. but I love...
