Erie......what the heck

So after getting some great intel, we hit Erie last week for some walleye action and were super pumped to go

hit the water at 6 am and everybody shot off in different directions

troled for 5 hours and marked a lot of decent fish.....30-60 fow

threw everything at them and caught everything but walleye sheephead silver bass perch


guess it happens......think that is my first skunk for eyes on Erie......thought I would post that not every trip is a success for catching.........but it ws still a ton of fun

Should have called me. You know I would have found those 8”ers for you to keep the stink off. 😂

Reelingmachine and I had a similar experience opening night of walleye in zone 17. Midnight to 6am he caught one, and I was skunked. The night before opener, the walleye were hungry and I was fishing for crappie. LOL. I am sure you will get them next time. Thanks for posting that, still a good fishing story.

I posted this just to show even if there are millions of fish in the lake timing is everything......


found out later that evening bite was on for that day, but not the next


looking forward to slamming some very soon.


Disco , you crack me up you can come anytime.......text me

I was on Erie yesterday out of leamington. we tried spoons and harness. Got 3 about 10" that went back and 1 that was just at my personal shortest at 15'. perfect morning maybe should have gone out further. We fished around where we got a 2 man limit week ago in 2hrs. So yes there are definitely slow days at times.

Just as a comparison....Georgian Bay....All species were hot this past Wednesday and Thursday and almost completely shut down Friday, Saturday and Sunday......really had to work at it to get a couple.

East wind?

light ne wind yes......

generally we can only get out there with light north or ne winds.......sadly

sw winds are usually brutal in a hurry

Sorry to hear the walleye were awol, but still a fun outing. I find this especially with walleye, some days they ALL just shut down and then out of the blue they ALL turn on and I can't keep them off the hook. Strange how they switch on and off, I should pay more attention to the patterns, but I don't. oops.. I agree if the wind is right, they seem to turn on, "walleye chop", but I have had days were they were hitting hard and it's relatively calm and sunny? go figure.. That's fishing. Never know what to expect and that's what makes it fun!

In Georgian Bay there was no wind....and I dont believe in the East wind theory....I love an East wind.
