So if it is like the 80,s you should be able to drift fish with an Erie Deary and a Worm. Whata think.

I dont know, fish have been up high............we used to flat line in the 80,s(hot lips, erie dearies, bombers).......no lead core and lots of big fish. Its great to see the smaller fish and they are the best to eat.

Good fishing guys and I agree the smaller pics are by far tastier to eat.

I remember the 80s off Glasgow it was crazy but when I got 7 lb. walleye I thought it was a small one. LOL!

its funny.....Mystro laker and taked about ...the fact the fish are thick enough that you could probably drift and jig for them. or anchor and run a big slip float.

Where are the big 8-10 pounders I heard was in erie? So far this season biggest one is 4 lbs!

Got an 8lb the other day. Still can wait to see a 10+ this season.

I think the big fish are still to come.....normal years the walleye fishing @ Bruce and Burwell would be just starting to get good now....with the hot fishing starting around August longweekend .....with all the rain and colder water this season...it might be a later run for the bigger fish .....I think sizes will increase over next couple weeks.

 

[gibbies]

Could overharvesting be what happened to the big ones?

 

[Tcat]

No I doubt the big fish are not somewhere. Lake Erie numbers are good and commercial got an increase for 2017.I agree the bigger fish are yet to come.

 

[gibbies]

Mabey the yanks are getting the bigger ones on their side.

Better get out my passport

Try running baits slower and just off bottom i think you will be pleasantly surprised...mostly all my bigger eyes are caught that way...in the east anyway lol

Whenever I come to burwell I run large worm harnesses with 10" power worms. I've never caught a small walleye. I probably don't catch as many but they are usually big.
I'm coming tomorrow night to give it a go.
