? Far West Report ?

[MasterKraft]

I've been drifting and casting all over by consumers, luna pier, turtle island, outer light and not having much to report on the positive side. Last year at this time I was catching quite a few. I don't know what my problem is this year. They gotta be in the area still. Not sure how they are doing trolling and really haven't seen all that many people fishing the area. I am getting pretty discouraged. Thinking about trying out by the intake friday. Good luck

We could only pick up 2 on Saturday but stony point was not the place to be. Dispite all the other boats that were there with us. Got one report from some guys coming in that did pretty well. They were out from the 3 tall stacks, south of Sterling. I think this is edison. of course I ignored that report Saturday. But we did end up that way Sunday and did quite well. The lake was flat, sun was bright, no cloud cover. We started with trolling bouncers and spinners. My pier savy friend got antsy, sick of catching white bass and sheep head, and put on a little cleo to cast. I rolled my eyes at his inexperience and wouldnt you know he caught the first walleye of the day, on a stupid, glow in the dark, salmon spoon. I decided to try some offshore boards with stick baits and that did great for a few hours. Deep husky jerks and fire tiger hotntots. Twice I had the lure out, line in my had working on attaching the board and hooked up. The stick bait bight slowed, clouds rolled in, and waves picked up. So we switched back to bouncers and spinners. Got our 3 man limit. stayed close to 1.5mph all day. 17-18 fow, we did get into 15 a couple times. But wow do I love lake Erie. Such a blast. The boat ran flawlessly, and even the seagulls ate well behind us, lots of sheep. Will probably go out of bowls next time, less distance to run in the boat. I will attach pictures tomorrow.
