I took a looksee out of the Catt today at noonish. Checked out some rocky structures that hold fish and found them vacant. No bites. No marks on the graph. I think the ice this year has us behind last year. Plenty of fish being caught at night off Brocton and Evan’s at night. Plenty of walleye still in the upper Niagara. There were two trailers in the parking lot and did not see the perchers on their usual spots. Anyone find a daytime bite ?
I wanted to get out and wet a line before the rain came this morning. Early rise but the bass were snapping ahead of the front. Ten bass on a jerkbait. Half largemouth and half smallmouth.
They have been around awhile. I get the sense it is run as a side job of a charter captain in Ohio. Probably too tired to keep up the side business as it should.
And yet look at the Walleye Slam and the Fall Brawl in Ohio. Tons of contestants. Low registration fee. Huge payouts. I think a lot of out of staters are getting their derby fix on Lake Erie.
I can confirm the amount of two year olds in the system right now is both disturbing from a healthy food chain perspective, and fun as hell. Six hours of trolling and over 30 kings yesterday.
