On Monday (7-11) Mike's group from Butler , PA ( not pictured on left ) joined me to remove 11 Walleye from Lake Erie . The Steelhead have started moving into the depths of the first trench ( 78 feet of water ) . We had two Steelhead hook ups but ; both fish tail danced on the surface and broke my rigs off . That is a good sign to start seeing some diversity in our catches on our trolling adventures. The bite was a tough one for 5 hours of trolling 1/2 day . We did find some cooperative fish and managed to have an excellent time on the water . The Northwest gales came and an impending storm found us fleeing from the water early .
Tuesday (7-12) was a better bite when Heath's group from Claysville , PA managed 140 Perch and 11 Walleye on an 8 hour full day . The 3-5 foot waves subsided to 2-4's and put a hamper on my big board program. Thankfully the Walleye bite was on for the second half of the day running big dipseys , little dipseys , and down riggers in the 30 - 60 foot range of the water column ( 11 fish in 3 & 1/2 hours of trolling ) . Heath's pappy ended up catching a trophy Walleye 28.5 inches and 8.5 lbs a ODNR award worthy fish . Great job today with ZERO fish lost at the back of the boat ! Another fine couple of days on the water with awesome company .
