Been getting Quite a few Walleyes on Erie during the day fishing for Perch with minnows on bottom in 58fow. Tuesday was the 1st trip we got none.They must be moving in.
I use Berts for boards (inline and big boards) Big Jons for down rigging (mounted on my riggers) Salty Down East for my Dipsey Divers. I have my Down Easts mounted on Berts electronic bases.It gets them a little higher waste high and gets the rod buts out of the way a little more.
I willing to bet you have been out of your house more than me in the last week.I did go fishing last Sunday thou and was within 6 ft of 1 person.I did touch a gas pump with a disposable glove and touched a dock which I washed with soap afterwards.
Never met the man but use to look forward to reading his reports almost daily on At The Oaks.He sure shared some great reports.That's what really got me hooked on fishing Lake O.My success rate more than doubled from reading the daily reports from him and the other great Captains who shared info.Had a close encounter with him one day while fishing off the Oaks.It was blowing hard with 8 ft plus swells.I was in about 400 fow in my 16' glass boat(pretty crazy looking back on it) on the fish.Then I see Irish Thunder working the same water as I.I was in awe he was like a legend to me.I must have got a little close because I almost got Thunder Struck.I respected that and moved on.I will never forget that day.Thanks for sharing Capt. RIP
What gets me is when they report the number of positive cases (which is probably low due to lack of testing) per county.It keeps getting higher and higher every day.Then you see the number of cases that have recovered or died at the bottom.It makes it look like many areas are really spiking until you subtract the recovered cases.Why don't they report current cases ? It makes things look much worse than it is. It is not fake news but it is misleading.
This morning on George Poveromos salt water fishing show he fished out of Marathon in April.He fished near water for Snapper.Then fished offshore and got some Black fins,Dolphins.and a couple of nice Wahoo while fishing the hump.It was a good show.
What Captain Carl Said.If you can get out to the Marathon hump (weather permitting) Black fin tuna are a blast also some good dolphin can be caught in that area also.I have fished the humps 7 or 8 times in March on a friends boat and catching Black Fins was some of the most memorable fishing I have ever done. Flat lining under the Frigate birds diving with flying fish boiling out of the water with tunas chasing them is hard to beat in my book.Tunas fight hard taste great and are easy to catch.
