Company on board today was a couple of old geezers.. They had made the time to take me out and show me the waters of burwell years ago so it was only right that I put up with there shit for 1 day this season.
Set sail from port burwell marina around 2pm..passed by Mr Tailfeathers on his way in but he was already engaged in conversation with a stickered 68 member so I just slipped right on by to the promise lands.
Dropped the lines in 55 headed south and waited to see what sticks..
Ran a good number of techniques/presentations, baits/colors throughout the day, only a couple real stand out combos found to trigger a decent bite.
Silver streak mini wing was tops behind the dipsy at 100ft. red fins on deeper diver did well. 5color pulling Smithwick 10s went start to finish,they didn't catch fire but they didn't go dead either
.
5 colors with #11 flicker minnow not much.. 7 color was a differnt tune so went back to back 5 color and added a 1oz keel wieght, 5ft leader and the flicker minnow..not bad. 60 ft less line,same fish catching results.
The big easy aint as easy as it was but still productive.
Connected with 29 . 5 smallest of the year throw backs. close to a dozen lost. Good amount of hits with no hook up.. a couple double and tripple header sheephead battles.
71.1°f
Cover 49-58fow..we hit a good stretch of water holding an active school of fish in 55-56fow and stuck with them for the remainder.
2.7mph.
Didn't mark much for bait but marked good hooks just below 40ft mark. Going by what the humming bird was revealing and the bite we had I would say the fish were scatterd about and gobbed up so If you get on some fish stay close/tight on the active school best you can before moving on, don't just keep cruising for miles..worked for us any ways.

Nice box bud...
There is still hope for some angler’s such as myself,that haven’t given up on the Lake Erie walleye fishing yet!! Now that my outboard motor has finally been repaired,( thanks to (
I am now therefore looking forward to do some Lake Erie walleye fishing again,while the weather is remaining quite nice for this time of year,and hopefully as well,the winds will remain light,for safe boating conditions. Tight lines to All!! & Be Safe & Walleye’s & even rainbow’s ON!!
