Saturday Set the lines just west of sand hill in 62 and rolled with the waves for 10mile or so to a couple mile west of burwell.. 62fow the whole way. Hit Fish the whole way across no dead spots just slow spots.
2.7-3mph.
Shallow Flicker shads on the dipsys and jointed shads on the leadcore.
Two #1 dipsys out 65ft one set at 0 and other on 1. Same setting for other side but out 85ft.
3&4color of planer board.
Dipsy divers took most of the fish including the trouts and lost the most but also took the biggest fish(85ft out). Color didn't matter 1/1sheephead.
Sunday waters were much more forgiving. The plan was to just play around with some baits and see what the fish would take..and wouldn't.
Starting spread, 40tail dancers went on 3&4 core. Worm harness(meat and meatless)went out on 4cores. Dipsys out 65ft on 0 ran a flicker shad and purple boxer spoon.
Took fish on harness with and without a real worm . Worm burner spoon thing was rather good on 4 color but only with a real worm..Same went for 3/8oz Erie deerie looking thing that went out for test.
Out of 5 colors tested of the 40ft tail dancers only 1 produced and produced well over and over on 4color. 30ft tail dancer did good on 4 colors too.
Dropped a walker deeper diver out 65ft set on 0 pulling a magnum size warrior spoon that best resembled the hot tail dancer and nothing..sent down to 85ft and fish on. Lots of the bigger fish came off that rig .
Purple boxer spoon on the dipsy was good the whole way but for what ever reason it had the worst hook up rate out of everything and lost the most.
Flicker shad of the dipsy at 65&75 outfished everything and took the rest of the big fish.
Ran a variety of baits/color and presentations..lots of it worked and some of it the fish would not touch.
Started in 62fow went S to 64 then trolled for port for the remainder of the evening. Hit fish all over the 60s but from 60-58fow she was pretty light.
Still LOADS of easy fish out there.. Damn near to easy.
Fish around the 16" mark had no problem hitting on the 40ft tail dancer and magnum spoon... the baits were damn near half there size yet dozens took a wack at them.
