Follow wallywalleye's advice, and good luck.

We wer out of bruce on wed. night as well. The screen was full from 58-65 feet of water, but we couldn't keep the silver bass off the lines.

Do a big wide turn to the side that you are setting. That way, the leadcore will not interfere with the dipsy.

SE 10 Knot winds in a 14 foot boat will suck. Long Point Bay might be better, as the winds are supposed to be 6 knots. Just a thought.

Many of the posts that I've read on leader length for leadcore state that you should only run a 3' to 4' leader. Any longer than that and you detract from the whipping action of the leadcore.

My dad and I fished SSW of port from 4 till 7:30, in 58 to 65 ft.and couldn't keep the silver bass off the lines. Dipsies down 150 to 190 on a 3 and leadcore and torpedo divers behind the boards, down 45 to 50 ft. Silver bass were hitting the lures right behind the boat before we could set-up...

Thanks for the report. It looks like an evening fish this week. So far, wed. night looks best. Let,s hope.

My favourite type of fishing. All you need are hooks and an old pair of running shoes. The kids keep themselves busy catching crayfish frogs, etc. Good job.

Putting 3 or 4 colours of leadcore on a rod with a torpedo diver does the same thing as the long lengths of leadcore. You won't need a 45 series reel and reeling in a fish is quicker. With the larger sizes of torpedo divers, you can also achieve greater depths than 10 colours of leadcore. Also...

Erieau has been good, but it's a 10 to 12 mile run west to the pack of boats.

When tying your leadcore to your leader, use a Willis(leadcore) knot. It works great, like a chinese finger trap.

Thanks for the report. Next sat. is my day at erieau for the first time. This a great starting point, thanks. I hope they like dipsies and leadcore!

Fishing in the morning, celebrating all afternoon and night! It's on like donkey kong!!

Thanks U-290. After I posted, I realized that you had already posted the colours used. It was a long day. Anyways, my boat is almost all set-up and ready to go.New kicker, EZ-steer, rods, reels, dipsies, the whole shebang! I might drag some lures on sat., after bass fishing. Thanks for the good...

We do that all the time when camping. Frozen juice bottles and water bottles in the cooler. When the ice in the bottles starts melting, you have ice cold water to drink! Works for the boat too.

Good fishing U-290. We will be down to Erieau in 3 weeks for a day. I hope they are there when we are. Duckman said that he did well on reef runners. What body baits and colours were you running? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I went to buy a black and clear today and they were sold out. Purple is available as are some others. 2 are going to get bought this weekend, regardless of colour!

Just want to know what colour of dipsy everyone uses for erie

They must be getting fish off the pier, if you got yours in 11.5 ft?

Good post scoop. I hope to get out this weekend. I got the new fish finder/GPS hooked up and can't wait to start marking fish.
