Thursday 27. Made it down, here's my report.
Had an awsome day on the water. Caught our limit in eyes with a 10-1/2 pounder at the very end. Almost all fish on riggers. 49-51fow. Finally figured out how to use riggers. I've been using riggers with very little success until now. Heres what I did that changed things around. 12-15 ft Leads. Yes that's correct. 12-15 ft leads. Downsized lures to target perch. Caught about 20 jumbos. Still caught walleyes. Moved riggers through the water column constantly. Found the sweet spot to be the bottom. Literally. I dragged the cannon ball on bottom and wham. It was game on. I've caught lot of large walleye on Erie but this one was the most fun. I saw an arc on the screen so I lowered the ball onto the bottom. As soon as I raised it up he slammed it. Put up a good fight to.
