Fishing Report Elbow July 12

[Extra Virgin]

Slept in as the morning winds looked a bit much. Headed to Collins by boat for some minnows, only to find out there aren't any... So off to the elbow I go

Set up lines at noon, dipsys on 3 with the rings on, orange spoon at 120 and green yalleye at 85 speed at 2.8-3mph. Couldn't keep the bows off either line. Took a few Walley off the same spread, but the highlight was when the Ostrander passed by (and probably saw me struggling) both lines lit up with bows... Somehow I landed both! Had to tighten the drag on the other rod in the holder while fighting the first one, I had to cut the line and leave the Yalleye in the net to get the second spoon caught one out!

Went 5/7 bows and 2/2 eyes. Pulled lines by 3:30 and headed in on a rare afternoon glass Erie

What time were you out? I am thinking of going to Burwell Saturday if the winds allow but with everyone catching rainbows at the elbow it makes me wonder

I meant the guy at Burwell. Ya i saw you went out at noon which was encouraging. I'd like to take my Dad down but it's a two hour drive and i don't want to leave crazy early or get home late. When everyone talks the elbow is this a fairly general area? (i know the area they mean) Just go around there and start to troll?

It pretty much is a general area. I started in the centre and worked my way around the lighthouse side in 65' ish to 75' and stayed in that depth the whole time

Great catch & report Extra virgin.
I'm not 100% or even 50% sure but aren't them silver fish all salmon ?

I took this photo as I was certain I'd be asked that

I would think them are salmon. Again I'm not to keen on the all silver fish but black mouth,black fins and flacky scales make me think salmon.
Either way nice catch of fish!

Where’s the 68 fish identifier been? (Jet boat josh)

Where’s the 68 fish identifier been? (Jet boat josh)

Exactly @Tyler0420 on what I was thinking as well! Josh hasn’t been on channel 68 for quite some time, ( month’s ),and he is a worth of knowledge on fish species,etc. Hopefully Josh is fine,and his input is always appreciated.
