We got out Sat and started drifting at 53' to 56' . 1 7 lb. cat , 1 monster perch and a golbie . There sure isn`t much out there , then ran west of the windmills , marked more fish , started trolling with RRF`s , had a few bumps but then the wind and waves came way up . Short troll and a really wet ride in . Will try again this afternoon.
Thanks for the report @SonsofFishes and @highhopes ??it looks like it’s a “hit and miss” out there from reading some of the previous post’s from the east end of Lake Erie.I will wait till through this week or next to give it a try for walleye’s in the east end of lake erie,but for now,it’s off to Shedden today for myself/family for the Rhubarb festival.

Ya all that east wind is blowing the cold water back in 59 on friday and 54 on saterday I'd say 2 more weeks and it well be turned on the 3 i got were nice and chunky about 2 lbs more meat on them sence last year lol
Does Rosie Rhubarb have red hair ??
@Wave Runner so that I might be able to recognize her a little easier at the Rhubarb Festival? lol?
For some reason @highhopes I can’t watch your video,and it is likely good!! You have 200 views since 11:05 a.m. and counting!! I will try again later & walleye’s ON!! ?????
I don't know if it's red but unlike you my friend she does have hair.Does Rosie Rhubarb have red hair ??

Got out of Burwell after lunch . Started trolling at 35 and staying in from 50 , figure 8 from out front and to the west , black and silver , blue and silver RRF 's were the only appetizers . 1 silver bass and 4 walleyes up to 5 lbs. Quite happy since our expectations were low . Lol

Went last Saturday at Port Maitland, got skunked.
Marked lots of fish from 30FOW to 45FOW, big arches but not fish hooked.
I am not sure if those fish are walleye or shepheads or carp or whatever.
What is the main trigger for walleye to bite when trolling?
Water temperature? Bait?
I did marked some bait but not much.
The day was great, nice water will small ripples.
Even with season off the pier was full of fishermen's.
I think if the authorities/municipality will double that pier it will still be full of people.
I hope is good for local business (worms, gas, food).
Tight lines.

Borg , the best trigger I`m seeing for Walleyes seems to be change of speed , when turning , dropping the tip of the rod then slowly pull back . I tried a slew of different spoons and nothing . Being early yet body baits are the ones working .

Once those water temps get above 60 degrees it'll be game on..probably a couple weeks yet
@Wave Runner I never did see Rosy Rhubarb at all yesterday in Shedden during the rhubarb festival,but I was happy to see that she did have red hair ??? according to her signs everywhere in town. lolI don't know if it's red but unlike you my friend she does have hair.
The antique car show was very well done,and it was nice to talk to the owners of the vehicles as well.A great time all around there yesterday with family & friends,plus meeting new friends,and of course some rhubarb,& rhubarb/strawberry pies to take home.?? Two thumbs up for a great day in Shedden,yesterday!!??
