Walleye
Trip Summary
Trip Summary
Bill and his son's up from the Ohio River for a little Walleye action. After the recent blow, the Lake Erie conditions were reset. When the 1st Walleye was netted, I was shocked at how cold the the fish was. It was clear that the lake temps from prior days would require a bit of patience to fulfill the Crew's limit.
Crawlers on harnesses worked on Big Fish Tuff Tackle Co. TruTrip 50s 50 back and 65 back on the 40s. Reef Runner Tackle Company Deep Lil Rippers 60 to 80 back with 2oz on the Off Shore Tackle Company inline boards.
My dock neighbor handed me a few Lil Rippers before today's trip. Wouldn't you know it caught the 1st and and the final Walleye.
Dipsey 3 setting 36 to 45 back with harnesses. 1.5 setting 40 back no ring.
After as slow period on the boards, I changed out one side to the larger profile Bandit. The Bandit got hit as I went to attach the snap weight. So, I set the 1st board 40 back and it caught right away. Then another was caught in the prop wash about 40 back before attaching a board. Fun to catch them up high mid summer.
Speed was 2.0 in to the waves and1.9 mph down wind.
