May 2009 Western Lake Erie Fishing Reports

[waterdog]

Tuff weekend! I caught one walleye 18"
and one big sheephead on Saturday just off camp perry.

On Sunday I caught another big sheephead just off camp perrry.
I caught 2 18" small mouth bass off niagara reef using a purple jig tipped with a minnow and a stinger hook. I turned the small mouth lose so you can catch them too!

I was using everything I could think of to catch the walleye, but it must of been just one of those weekends.

Saturday we started out by K can and caught 5 or 6. We moved around there for about 1 1/2 hours and went to Niagra where we caught no eyes. Then we moved to Crib and caught the rest just before 12:00 making the 2 man limit.

We caught most of them on white jigs tipped with a minnow. Some with no minnow or a white hair jig with a gulp green/chartruse minnow.

Sunday we started by K and again caught 5 or 6 moving around here and there by K. Then we moved north of Locust and by Cone (here and there) and caught another 10 making 16 for 3 guys. It was really tough when it laid down.

I was using the white 3/4 hair jig with tincil and no minnow. My buddys were using minnows. Most were caught with no minnow. They were spotty.

Lots of sheephead, catfish, and white perch.

Overall not a bad weekend but it was tough. I think we were lucky!
