    Barcelona Harbor 2016

    in Walleye

    Posted

    Ten days of east winds have ended. Warm water is returning to the east end now. Dunkirk and Barcelona areas were hot at night in ten to twelve foot of water. One boat had thirty five. Eighteen before midnight and seventeen the next day.

    How has the daylight fishing been?

    Any itroll users out there

    I've had the itroll for 2 years.....GREAT unit......the precision of trolling speed is better than controlking (the only other unit I've tried). I have not used the HUNT feature much but as Joe says you get 50 uses to try.  The customer service from Joel (itroll owner ) is excellent.

    No,,I dont OWN the lake.The lake is for Everyone to enjoy...After all,fishing is Fun,...FUN ! 

     

    So we get on the water and a beautiful fiberglass white hull( no names mentioned,,,we could not read the name anyway,,,the boat was too far.But their planer boat was 12'oclock and comming in!)Head on!

     

    It reminds me of coming upon the fat lady in the narrow aisle in Wal-Mart....I do NOT want to go cheek to cheek with her,,,even though her cart and 3 foot Buttocks is blocking that small piece of real estate blocking my reach for my favorite product....Moving closer and almost making eye contact,..I half motion I need to reach past her and please grab just one small item off the shelf.....Now she sees me Clearly violating her "space"..before she can crush me between the cart the shelf,,I quickly exit, her dead on glassy eye Glaze.  I sheepishly opt to go Back Later!! Safer that way and no conflict.

     

    Back to the lake where the planer boards,,are,at least 50 yards abeam of this nice boat and on both sides of the boat....doing some fuzzy math and add in the gracious beam,,,they are spread out a good 100yards...planer to planer...jeeezzz. 

     

    I know you HAVE to get 3 lines on..you need that kind of length...but ..really.?

     

     

    Passing another beautiful white fiberglass Hardtop,...they had an impressive spread as well..

      The difference is that boat had their planers within a "throw of a Tennis ball"  ...25yds..? Maybe.

     Thus allowing many other boats to pass within each other...or get by the fat chick in Wally world without going cheek to cheek.Allowing everyone to hit the depth we all are trying to troll over.

     

    No,,I don't own the lake and all I want is some fun and a few fish....without the chuckin and jiving to avoid large spreads like that of today..

      I am sure you killed the fish,,we did too,! With a much smaller and easy to manage spread.

         Tight Lines,! Plenty of Fish and a Big Azz Lake.

    Next time take pictures front, side, aft, and name of boat if possible so we all know you we are dealing with.  I believe I know who you are referring to as they a usual Bear Creek boat that thinks he owns the area

    I have been using the Itroll for 2 years trouble free.  I like all the pluses it has, waterproof, hunt feature, can go from speed to idle back to speed with a touch of a button ( great for netting) etc And GREAT customer service........I talked directly to Joel, inventor, engineer for set up help.....great to talk with in plain english and he uses it
