Small deetails- Eliminating mistakes

[DW72]

Coho....I wish I could my friend. Thanks so much for asking. I have to do some repairs on my trailer and other jobs for a couple weeks. I may not make it out west for a bit.

I'd say where you usually fish should be great....where we networked a couple years back!

That?s what I hear. My buddy was over at the beginning of the month and did very well east of Kelly?s to Huron. I have a thing for rattlesnake so I have to see what the water looks like over there but otherwise?? your exactly right. My plans don?t change too much. Seems to work well for me.

Tight lines and if you ever get over to WI, hook up and I?ll take you out for some salmon.

I never use the procure so not sure on that.I prefer black dipsey but careful painting so don't goof up the mechanism.That line probably good for leader but make them 7' long with snap on one end and swivel on other.Snap to lure

Lucky Duck,

Cohoho is right. Don't make it over complicated.

Lake Erie walleye fishing comes down to one main thing: keeping the lure in the fish zone. This is primarily why trolling generally is more effective. Done right, it keeps the lure in the fish zone (water column depth the walleye are in) consistently. The longer your lure is in the fish zone, the more opportunity to catch a fish. It's that simple.

There are a lot of details to learn, such lure type, color, action, speed, and a host more. Equipment is important, but more important is learning how to correctly and efficiently use it. You don't need the latest greatest "stuff" to consistently catch fish. You need experience. Now that you've made the equipment sellers happy (), it's going to take time to learn how to use all that "stuff". Take advice when you can get it, but above all, get out and learn. Take notes (write it down) with a log book. Go out with experienced trollers, or get one on your boat. Don't expect to get good at it right away. Enjoy the learning experience and take it seriously. Over time you'll get it down to routine.

And... on a few days when the fishing is really good, put the trolling stuff away and drift fish. Give yourself a break from all the work and attention trolling takes. Yea, I know, you want to troll, and all the trollers will say "no way!" But you'll learn some things about Lake Erie walleye fishing you can't learn trolling. And again it will be a nice break, help clear your mind.

Best of luck!

Great words of advice. I am not going to stress over it knowing it takes practice and I I have done the key things of reel calibration, boat speed and fish where the fish are present, Thank you.
