Someone shared with me that the bite was in 26-30 fow out there.....is that about right?

I was in 38-42 FOW... However in shallower may have been better???

Thanks for the post.Was your speed 2.0mph?
Also were your harness blades Colorado or Willow...and color?

I've had success running Hot n Tots flatlined with no board. In WB about 45-60 back with a 2oz. weight 5 feet in front of them. I've used them similar areas between all the islands on west side. Also success in front of Edgewater Beach in central basin. But deeper there. I keep one copper/ orange, gold one, green and silver, and blue and silver. I also use them to cast for steelhead in river mouths until early december.

People still doing well for perch around the cans? Coming up tomorrow with my 5 year old nephew and he wants to chase perch.

We are headed back up for the weekend also. I heard G and H cans for perch. Anybody get any live minnows in yet?

Where are the walleye?

I'm heading up next saturday as well. Right now thinking of Huron, Vermillion, or Lorain to launch from in search of walleye. Thought about trailering back to the cans for an evening perch fish... not too sure about that just yet.

Didn’t see the message about the dumping grounds till now. But as luck would have it, that’s where we went this morning. Fought the wind and rain and had a 2 person limit by 1130. Casting. Sorted through a ton of smalls and farm animals.

Sorry…speed 2.0…they seemed to like it slower and deeper. Colorado blades in crawler harnesses. any color was hitting. Running from 100-125’ back from planer boards.

Happy Hooker had goldies yesterday morning - 8/21.
We were looking for walleye around West Sister. Possibly marked a few but caught none. Found it to be untrollable due to all the floating grass. Just constantly fouled up the inline planers. Couldn't avoid it. Ended up doing a lot of casting crawler harnesses and perching with the goldies all around the island and then south to the west of A can and southwest of A. There were about 10 boats perching around A can but we weren't close enough to see how they were doing. They were there a long time so presumably were having some success. We ended up with 2 perch, 1 cat and 6 tasty drum. Two drum came as a double on the perch spreader.
If anyone has advice on how to troll this time of year when there are floating weeds all over, please share!
