Fishing Report Nanticoke - June 30th

[jrr]

Went out to Nanticoke yesterday morning -- weather was great, flys were annoying. Caught a dozen junk fish and one nice walleye. I had something on that was big enough to pull my church tackle planer under the water. It pulled back, lots of head shaking. It let go before I got to see it. Lost a couple of walleye (pretty sure, lazy but pulling vs insane all over the place from the rainbow) and had lot of releases.

Only fish I have had pull a planer under before was a king... But there wouldn't be any of those in 60FOW on Erie... I think? Why it can get pulled under is because the front doesn't release and the clip to the flag slips.

I was going pretty quick (2.5-2.7mph) and using body baits. Had fish hit 50-70 FOW.

My dad was happy to reel in the one that made it to the boat though

There still is the odd coho and king salmon (Chinook) in Erie... All natural (wild) as they haven't stocked any in a VERY long time...

Water looks mint... Nice pic...

Probably a musky. Been a few caught/seen along the north shore.

I've caught 2 walleye in the same area that pulled my boards under .
Both over 11 lbs . It's really cool if you see it . The board skips back then it's gone . Happens very fast .

Yeah, at 2.5mph if a 11lbs+ walleye grabbed the line I can see that happening. They are stubborn and it certainly felt like a walleye over a salmon on the other end. Now to get one to the boat!

A little late but I'm trying the photo instructions . This was an 11.6 lb walleye that pulled my board under the water . The boat was stopped we were reeling in what turned out to be a farm animal . I happened to have th rod in my hand and was about to bring it in . Just then the board skipped about 8 ft back then went under . It was a very long fish .
