4 days strait - i couldn't handle that    need a day to recover before heading out again.i thought maybe i'm just gettin old but the kid's just as sore. we fished 6 hrs without a break-have to try and force myself to take some stretch breaks but then i might miss the big one

i paddle to shore once n a while to streach my legs n take a leak so i dont get all cramped up, atleast you can stad in your canoe

Got out with the kid for another day of catfishing fun.The fishing slowed quite a bit,only manged 13 cats in a full days fishing but a least we landed 3 real good ones over 30 inches and 5 in the 5-9 lb range + a few little guys. no pics- my memory stick froze up and now my pics are stuck there  -i'll never buy another sony digital camera 

   got the last couple of  fish on the built in memory space  on the cam.

went out  lake Erie today with my son and brother   to try our hand at a little walleye trolling. We only landed 5 eyes ,1 brown trout and a few bass -I guess we should be lucky we caught any seeing it was our first time using a downrigger and dipsy divers.had a lot of tangled lines and frustration before we finally  figured things out  .one of the walleyes we dragged around the lake for some time,it was just about dead when we reeled in to check the lines -release set too tight.

my brother with the first fish -a chunky brown-had all the lines tangled

the kid with his first ever walleye - his 2nd was  a tasty 18 incher

             my second walleye of the day-1st was an 18 incher i dragged in dead off a dipsy

  one of a few bass we landed today

   my brother finally ended up with a decent walleye after a brown and smallmouth

                                at least we got a few

Looks like you guys had fun. And you will drag a lot of eyes you will learn over time.

Looks like another great outing. And a great entry for Team NY!
You seem to catch fish no matter where you go...

your bound to  catch a few fish when you put as much time in as we do on the water- 9+ hours last sunday  


 walleyes that size  are pretty common on Erie -thats not even a big one -I'll have to try  upgrade with a 30+ incher next time out

i think i'm ready to give up on the walleye trolling. had only a half day to fish today but i figured we'd limit out on big walleyes in a couple hours after hearing and reading numerous reports of huge schools and limit catches  of big walleye stacked up 18-20 miles east of where we fished last week.got out on the lake just as  the sun was  comming up over the horizon -the day started out good- i got the first walleye , a good eatin size 17.5  incher  -went another 3 hours or so before my brother and son caught their only fish 5 minutes apart  18 & 20 inchers .4  hours of riding the waves for 3 fish  -think i'm ready to  give  up on the walleye trolling -until next time
                       



       caught just enough for a few Mcwalleye fillet o fish sandwiches

Nice fish.  I'm happy any time I get any walleyes, but I have to agree, trolling does get tough after a while.  I've given up on trolling and just jig, even though trolling is by far the most productive method for our lakes.

I dont know how you even got out there this weekend. I made two attempts late morning (i know......first mistake) and couldnt get more than 100 yards out of the south gap and i almost put the bow under lol

i prefer jigging any day.at least you can use light tackle and get some kind of a fight out  the fish. trolling with 14 lb test or more feels like your dragging in a piece of driftwood except for an occasional head shake.
tough to jig out on Erie -miles of water and the fish are suspended anywhere from 5ft off bottom to 20 feet below the surface .

early morning wasn't bad but by the time we left  the waves were gettin pretty high,
 we were gettin pretty wet from  the whitecaps -don't think a 17 ft sylvan shallow v sport troller is made for the great lakes

Not too bad of a morning.  You guys need some downriggers and planer boards, then you can pull 6 lines and really catch em or really get tangled up

3 walleye  in 4 hrs - we should have gone bass fishing
 we ran 2 lines off a  downrigger and one off a dipsy-we still did better than some of the guys we talked to with the planer boards and 4 downriggers.
