May 2009 Western Lake Erie Fishing Reports

[Jfish]

We caught 6 eyes on Sunday.

The water was kind of muddy from that fierce West wind the day before.

2 were caught by K can and 4 on Locust. We left at noon.

It wasn't my day that day. I only caught one of the five and my buddy caught the rest. He was using hair jigs with several minnows on them. At first I wasn't using a minnow but then I switched and caught 1!!

Gonna troll this weekend with spoons. It's supposed to be flat calm (they're saying right now).

A nice day on the lake, but no eyes!
I caught some of the bigest Sheepheads I have ever caught today.
Started at Round Reef , then to Niagara Reef and no eyes!
I was using jigs(purple) tiped with minnow and night crawler harness too!
The only thing I can think of is the lake has been affected by the high waves and that has mixed things up as far as fishing goes.
