Ahh, I see. I always wondered how those dang things pick up a jig on the bottom and you don't feel it until you lift it. I'm guessing about the same as what your seeing.Quote:

I prefer my vexilar flasher but with not actually seeing what the fish are doing made it a little tuff to catch them so I switched to the camera and it made all the difference. Now just need to find out where the big girls are holding up. I did about a 20 mile circle looking for the fish before I found some.
A buddy and I went out of Camp Perry about 5:45 am Saturday. We went out several miles, approx 3//4 miles NE of "E" can. 27 FOW. Sonar marking several fish, and caught 4 with in the first hour. The bite stopped, didn't catch anything for about 2 hours, so moved another mile straight north. No fish found for an hour, moved again a mile west, no marked fish there. GPS back to same holes we caught the fish, and started to hit again.. It seemed to be every 4 fish we marked, we would catch 1.
I text the GPS location back to the group text, not sure if anyone got it, but no one showed up.
anyway ended up with 9 fish for the day -
4 – between 8-9lbs
1 – 7 lbs
1 – 6 lbs
3 – 2-4lbs
Sunday, GPS took us right back to the same holes, had another 4 fish by noon -
1 – 8 lbs
3 – 2- 4 lbs
P.S. Sorry for the poor quality pictures, from my cheap cell phone. The good pictures are on my buddies phone, which are currently not accessible, sitting at the bottom in 27 FOW .. lol
That's a hell of a pile of fish there, Wiggler! Congrats and that you for the pics.
How far out and in what direction is E can from Catawba? Is there an Erie map that I could find that would have the "CAN" locations? Thanks for any info.

Perfect thank you!
Wormwiggler great job!!! And anyone else that did well!! I know i had a great time on the ice Saturday with my 11yr old son on his first ice fishing trip. We didnt catch anything but we did have a nice time in our 80 degree shanty.. lol we melted the ice so much we we were having minnow races for hole to hole. Great memories with my son and my friends...
Glad to see someone caught 'em good last week. Anyone going this Saturday? I'm going to be over there. Haven't been for a few years, and never led the way. Got a sled this year since I never got an invite last year. Now I can go when I want. Anyone willing to share info this weekend, let me know. I'm as willing as any if I can be of any help. Should be me and a buddy as long as he doesn't back out. Don't know if anyone else from my neck of the woods is going or not yet. I'll keep posting throughout the week.

Well, partner backed out. And with the weather the way it's going to be, slim chance I'll find anyone to take his place. Not sure I want someone to with 30 below windchills on the way. Sounds like it's gonna be brutal.
Anyone want to help some guys from Wisconsin next weekend? Want to exchange phone numbers and help everyone get on fish like some of you have done before!
