    How do you run a spreader with an erie and a harness without getting them tangled? Do you just drop it down and let it drift while you are using another pole?

    I set the Minn Kota to 0.5 mph, and set a bearing towards shallower or deeper water until I catch fish. Then I change the bearing to maintain that depth. It's basically a drift, but controlled, covering more water.

    Sounds Great , you have it dialed in and sharing helps others!

    I always have my late fathers pole, spreader shiners and no bling dragging. Last YEAR I got a double walleye on that spreader last year , and a first!

    back at it, as soon and if the weather says so,

    As always, be safe , wear the life jacket!

    Default Re: Water Dog ~ May 7, 2026 4 keeper eyes

    4 keeper eyes north of Lake Front Marina in 13 fow.
    1 big cat, 4 sheep, 2 white perch, no yellow gold.
    using a spreader, and worm harness, yes the worms are on it.
    3 walleye returns just not big enough, educated but not harmed.

    So back soon,

    A sheep head day for sure , caught some real hogs!
    Released unharmed.
    No walleyes, fishing the same area I did nw of Port Clinton
    12 fow.
    Jig with a shiner and stinger.
    One Big cat fish on my spreader pole, 12 fow no bling.
    Not one walleye not sure what happened , water is stained but not really that bad. We did have some breeze weather prior to today.
    Weather looks good tomorrow so we will see if I can get on them.

    Any one with a heads up?

    Be Safe,
    Water Dog

    And wear you life jacket! be safe on the lake.
