  1. Very good fishing out of Cattaragus Creek today. We boxed a 12 fish limit by 9am out of 80 fow.
  2. That's excellent! Congrats........ you're one of the few.
  3. They make outstanding lures and components....... Colorado Blades and flutter spoons for Erie eyes.
  4. Every boat is different...... on my rig, I'd be tangled every time a rod went off.

    Perch

    While trolling out of Sturgeon Point last Sunday we trolled through 2 massive schools of perch....... 20 feet thick. But they were suspended 25 to 45 down. I don't remember the depth they were marked in, but we spent most of the day between 55 and 65 fow. They were agressively feeding, as we took perch on stickbaits and harnesses when passing through the schools. I haven't fished for perch in probably 3 weeks, but if you have the time to fish for them, you might as well pick up some goldies and give it a try.
  7. +1......... I love the 600lc's
  8. Everybody's boat is different......... I would't launch in Erie without my riggers..... mostly it depends on how deep in the water column the fish are located. The deeper they are, the more likely your riggers will work well, and by the 27th there will be plenty of "deep" fish. Just don't be afraid to run your lures back off the cannonballs and make plenty of turns. And riggers can be set in a fraction of the time of core rods.
  9. I don't know if Olcott is "that much better" than Irondequoit, but it does have faster access to "deep" water. And of course it's closer to the Niagara River influx of goodness.................
  10. I wouldn't recommend leaving your boat there unattended overnight. I have seen evidence (broken window glass) of vehicle break ins in the lot, and have directly spoken with a person who had his vehicle broken into while fishing during the day. To leave anything of value in that lot overnight would be a crap shoot. Renting a campsite at Hamlin Beach would be a better option.
  11. I've checked in the neighborhood of 40 more LE walleye(legal and shorts) since the original post and never seen another affected fish......
  12. Took a limit there yesterday. 55 - 65 fow. Harnesses and flutter spoons were the ticket off riggers and wire diver rods, but the harnesses caught a lot of silver bass too.
  13. I fished out of SP today solo, and took 4 legal fish and 5 shorts.....never hooked a fish over 20". the "best" screen was 45 - 55 off the park. Harnesses off a diver took the most fish.
  14. sturgeon point, but the fish were much closer to the SBH.
  15. added a pic.
  16. We got some Erie eyes this past weekend that had small (1/8" - 1/2"), whiteish/clear, wormlike (or leechlike) parasites attached to both sides of the tail, and behind each pectoral and pelvic fins..... The fish appeared healthy otherwise, and the flesh was normal. Some of the fish had as many as 100 of these hitchhikers............Any Ideas on what they were?
  17. 10' between the cannonball bait and the stacked bait has worked fine for me ........... just make sure the bait behind the cannonball is under the surface before deploying the bait you plan on stacking.
  18. A black NK28 with yellow diagonal tape and a white back has been money for me this spring.............. during overcast conditions.
  19. Sandy Creek , Hamlin...... yes they're in.
  20. The winner !
  21. Lots of discussion here. https://www.thehulltruth.com/marine-electronics-forum/834854-garmin-942-xs.html If you have questions, contact semperfifishing........ I recently purchased an echomap chirp plus 93sv and Gil recommended a GT52HW for my application. I purchased the unit and ducer through him with good results.
  22. very cute pic........ looks like all success to me.
  23. Nice....... very nice...... very very nice.
  24. Now that's cool!
  25. I'm not sure either, but congrats, it's exciting as hell ......... I think it's all part of the process..... realizing that you don't have to box everything or shoot everything, just because you can......
