Looking for some 8oz bottom bouncers built with heaver wire (0625) for deep water walleye fishing

Thanks JT

Looking at the pictures of coosboard on their website I notice in marine applications it is glassed in place with resin/epoxy and some cloth. That process makes the board very rigid. On an aluminium boat you can only bolt the board to the transom . Will it be rigid enough to support the engine if not encased in resin/epoxy and cloth ?

Good luck!

Anyone know when they pull the docks at the ramp at ibay?

thanks

Went out today......Great weather!

Fishing ...... not so much. 

Thanks!  

Never trying for peach before does time of day play a big factor?

Any current news on perch? Would love to give it a try. 

Thanks

Any updates on the perch at ibay. Would love to give it a try. 

Thanks 

So fished out of the Catt Monday. Fished 60 to 80 feet worked hard for a few nice eyes. Tried perch in 50 ,caught a few and some monster cat fish on lite tackle. 

When we come back in to the launch DEC was there asking about our catch and told us the lake had turned over and everyone was working hard for fish

So all in all was a great day to be on the water

Like to go fishing Monday out of the basin looks like the lake might lay down for a bit. Anybody hear of anybody catching eyes in the area? Haven’t fished in a few weeks and not sure where to start. 

Thanks 

These motors run very lean. I removed the small plug on the carb that covered the needle valve and richen it up . Because these do run so lean it doesn’t take much dirt or fuel deposits to restrict the gas flow and make them run poorly. 

Good luck

Kind of autopilot. Have a 19’ stripper with 150 hp and 8t hp Yamaha. I also have a Minnkota Ulterra with ipilot I use for autopilot. The 8 hp pushes the boat and the minnkota steers the boat with a remote or through my Humminbird helix. Can pick a heading , follow depth contours or select waypoints and off we go. Works great plus it has an anchor feature too.

just depends how big your boat is , but they did just come out with a 87” shaft for larger boats. 

May have nothing to do with your problem but my neighbor had the same issue . Gas in the oil. Turns out he bought a new fuel tank which are now sealed they have a vent to let air in but not out. So the sun would heat up the tank and force the gas into the motor. I also believe Yamaha's have a sensor that won’t let them run if there is to much oil (and gas) in the crankcase. He had to add a pressure relief valve to his fuel line. 

Probably going to be the nicest day for fishing til next summer. Good luck!

Went out Friday. Trolled for walleye. Caught one short. Fished for perch off the condo's on the west side and ended up with about 40 or so eaters till we ran out of bait. Also caught several on a perch eye. Was done by noon.

How deep are you fishing for the pearch

thanks

Anybody running these off riggers ,if so how far you running them from the ball ?

I have been using the 100’ rule ( down 60 back 40 etc)

Last time I fished out of SBH we got back at 6 and the fish clean station was closed. Anyone know the fall ours for the station?

Thanks

If you do have the Windfinder App is a great tool for wave height 

Now I just need the the lake to lay down so I can give it a try   

Thanks for the great advice!

Thanks for the a Great info !

Not to go off topic but you have my interest with the perch.

If you don’t mind me asking where and how do you catch them ?

thanks jt

New to fishing for walleye in the basin . Trying to get a feel how late in the year You can target walleyes in the basin. Seems that they are moving deeper. Any thoughts?

thanks jt

If your asking me 63 feet. Probably should have launched at SP because we were a lot closer to SP then SBH. But 63 close to the fence. Fish were on the bottom .

we run 2 riggers and 2 wire divers. 

Fished Erie out of SBH ran gambler rigs on one side and a stick and spoon on the other trolling at 2 mph. Boxed out with 18 eyes The gambler rig out performed the stick and spoon 2 to 1   Them eyes LOVE worms 

Jakeybaby, thanks for the info. After fishing lake o for years for trout and salmon I like the fact you can troll these in Erie at the same speed as lake O. Just feel you can cover so much more water at 2+ then the normal 1mph for normal worm harness. Plus I should be able to run them along side my stick baits .

Just ordered some ..thanks again

Jakeybaby, interested in the gambler rig.

how fast can you troll them for eyes ?

did you have a favourite colour?

and where can you buy them ? Thanks
