For us the mid day bite was best. Thought Saturday chop helped but as you know it was slick calm Sunday and it didn't bother the fish. By the way I troll as close to 2.5 as possible and watch my rigger cables as I don't have a fish hawk. We tried 7c and 10c LC on inline boards since the riggers went firing but only caught one coho on the ten. Thanks For the info!

Was fishing Wilson Sat and Sun also. Had very good fishing both days. Found the 48° water to cold for our liking although there was lots of bait and some big marks in 80'. So we trolled out and found 52° in about 230'. Soon had our first hookup and even though we didn't mark any fish or bait repeated north troll over the same mark resulted in a bite on almost pass. South troll did not work. Landed five Kings up to 18# and lost several more. Also landed eight steelhead with a few being biguns and all trout were released. Also four very nice cohos. About 25 bites over both days. All were caught in 230fow both days in the same spot on mostly green spoons DWSS, Stinger. With the biggest Kings coming on meat rigs about 55' down. Mostly a wire diver bite as the riggers slept until Sunday, that's when the steelhead started pouncing on the one we left out down 75'. Hoping to be back this weekend. Great weather and good fishing and friendship. I am blessed.

I believe the Barr extends over into Canada.

It's not about money. It's about power.

Fished Thursday and Friday. Had good king bites but only a couple cohos. Lost way too many quality kings. Fished 80' to 100 fow. Plenty of marks a quite a few lookers. Boxed three Kings and a coho each day along with the several losses so in spite of the boat traffic you can get bit. The bite from daylight to 0800 was very good. Tight lines

Not to butt in but I just fished our of Walnut yesterday and today for my first Erie trips of the year after fishing Lake Ontario for the last several weeks. Had to work for work for them in yesterdays big chop but we did get a three man limit. Today the lake started of much nicer but ended worse. The fishing was slow for us at the start but the NE wind kicked up around lunch and it got real rough but the fish turned on and it was another good day. If you fish there you may have to grind it out until they turn on. Some guys struggled to catch a fish. Lot of fish from little to large. Our biggest was 28" (1) and the smallest were several in the 7in. range . Sent from my LM-G710VM using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yes east of the bar same depth. 1/4 grown up Kings. One dandy steelhead and another nice one. Three nice coho several skipys and a few mystery bites. Been fishing the same marks since the week after Memorial Day. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Have fished the past three weekends between Willson and the bar. Have been doing okay between 80 and 120. Lots of bait pods and what looks like smelt covering the bottom in many areas. Took one temp reading on my TD and got 45° down 55'. Most marks in that area although we caught some nice cohos on sliders up higher. Didn't fish long as the east winds had it roughed up Saturday morning and wired up 4 footers Sunday afternoon. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll take them if they're still available.

Not sure how Lake Michigan's biology is doing right now, but the lake produced some big fish last year including a couple 40# beasts.

I'm of the opinion there may be too many walleye putting too much pressure on the bait. Screens like this were not unusual last year. Which was nice if you didn't want to troll. Kind of scary.lol

I would contact the boat manufacturer.

Bunks, rollers are a problem putting in and I think there's a bit of a saftey issue when hauling. I have a 19ft. Ebtide with rollers and a 25ft Wellcraft with bunks. I prefer the bunks. I wanted to add that when loading with rollers and by yourself it may require you to keep the motor engaged or the boat will roll back off the trailer.
