Never caught a whitefish in lake Erie...but caught plenty in Lake Simcoe in May; before the season opened. They were large 24" or more. We were perch fishing at the time. This occurred at Pefferlaws.
Cheers, Docwet Everything has limitations...and I hate limitations.
DW,
what did you do with the whitefish...?? did you eat any..??

Just remember to take the bra off when storing. Batteries will go dead, ask me how I know.
Yepper, my brah has shrunk or my probe is getting bigger...😳
I wonder if Fish USA will just give me one..🤔

I'm kind of surprised this thread isn't over on general discussion
I would have missed it completely if it wasn't for the alerts

Rewired some electrical, few new reels, new wire. New spoons, flashers and meat rigs of course.
I hear that..!!
I searched high and low on the interwebs looking for magnum dypies for months Jan/Feb finally Matt at Fish USA hooked me up with 5 blacks and 2 clears late March..
Thanks Matt.
FWIW Jake at Fish USA is knowledgeable with taking Kings

I've heard a fish hawk is a great upgrade...been considering one.
I would agree 100%..
I have the X4D I think, will check the box when I get home.
Definitely a must have for Lake Ontario

Who's got them...??
I picked up a pair of quad Muddy Creek rod holders...
Hopefully mid season I will add Furuno Radar system..
Best to all this season.

Ontario commercial fishermen take over a million dollars C annually for whitefish in Lake Erie. Most of them are exported to the USA markets. American hook and line fishermen are ignorant of them unless they have a money contest.
I was told the whitefish in Lake Erie eat plankton and were a different species of fish compared to lake simco.
cannot fish for them with jigs or sonars. probably why i have never seen any at the dock.
The guy that told me this works at a local tackle shop, informed me that if you are keeping them you might as well keep and eat sheepshead too
Whitefish look like a great time battling on light tackle but if I cannot eat them i will pass fishing for them..

we was fishing Erie for walleye and he was in the 30' class and i was in a 21' glass boat. he had more than enough time to make a miner adjustment in his course to have cleared me. but he had his auto pilot set and to he** with anyone who got in his way. in my opinion nobody was watching for other boats as he was just as surprised at the close encounter as we were.
He saw you and your exactly right he having enough time to make a minor adjustment and didn't.
He is lucky it was you he ran into out there, untangling his equipment, son jumping in the water to put another plug in. Bailing your boat out twice.
Many lake Erie guys I know would have cut his **** and been waiting for him at the dock. That CBC can FO in my book
Pa or Ohio..?

Interesting comment on the right-of-way, I see that one a lot. "Right of Way" is a lot more complicated then "two points abaft the starboard beam." You also need to take into account "A vessel restricted in it's ability to maneuver." If you're in a small boat ( assuming so since it has the rubber-style plug and not a Garboard drain style) and a 10 meter boat is coming from your left with a full spread of boards, copper and lead, then they may have the right of way. Most charter boats are less than 12 meters so they aren't required to use lights or shapes to show their maneuverability status.
Up current vs down current, overtaking, towing, etc., all need to be considered in the right-of-way determination.
Best advice I can give is to assume the other boat doesn't see you and take action yourself regardless of who has the right of way. You never know when there might be an emergency situation onboard or mechanical malfunction on the other boat.
Common courtesy also comes into play. The charter guys are out there with paying customers, trying to scratch out a little profit and we need to be mindful of that and give them a break. It's a really big lake and there's plenty of room for everyone.
My $.02, IMHO and YMMV.
Chuck
I must have missed that part about GL charters have the right of way in the "rules of the road" section of the training...
Learn something new every day...

Yep, widen them to 16"
Aluminium 2" wide flat stock .125 thick shouldn't be to difficult to find maybe Lowe's.
Drill and reassemble.
A charter friend of mine gave me the tip

4:00pm -8:30pm. Stopped & scanned for fish in 150ft & 200ft & saw nothing. Dropped lines in 250ft & headed north. 46deg @ 60ft. Screen blank and no bites till 400ft. 400-550ft got 6 nice steelhead. Turned around got 2 kings, 1 coho & 4 more steelhead heading back south. All spoon bite, Wonder bread was the steelhead favorite, Spoons with Green took the salmon. Nothing on Copper lines. Riggers 50ft-70ft down and 10 color leadcores caught fish. Lake was beautiful 4:00-6:30pm and then 3-4fts rolled in real quick, saw lightning at 8:30pm and pull the plug.
Thanks for the report...👍
I'm hopefully fishing out of the Oak on the 8th 9th and 10th..
Weather permitting..

Spread them, they are 12 " wide go 16"
We've run 40 Oz of lead per side and they pull like barn doors..
Snubbers...?

Reminds me of an old joke...
The US spent million dollars to invent a pen that would write in space..
The Russians used a pencil..
I just wear long pants...
Using sprays or lotions etc and guess what...
It's on your lures, in your eyes, it's all over cuz ppl cannot forward think...
I heard those flies have square teeth also... That's why their bite is so painful..

What am I buying...??
Thanks for any direction

Downspeed is most important..
If you cannot maintain a consistent downspeed it'll be a tough day on the lake
