Fished the elbow sunday afternoon lake was glass and the bugs were horrible. Managed to go 10 for 17 on eyes and caught a huge bow there's lots of fish out there had two times 4 rods went off but only landed two each time. Only caught two sheep head and a few silvers the fish were everywhere in the column high and low. riggers lead and divers all produced fish.
 
I see you bled out all of your fish, do you do that as soon as you catch them? Do you find it helps with the freshness of the fish? Or what is the theory there? Again I just landed my first eye on Sunday so I am new to this, and did not bleed it out. Should I have done so? Oh nice catch too!
 
nice catch ..looking forward to chasing some myself once I have had enough of the perch ,,it is hard to pass up on the perch when the fishing is so good , I just read your post I bleed all the big fish I catch right away ,if I am going to be eating them ,if you cut to the back bone you will find a big vein along the spine ,cut threw the throat till you reach the bone you will not belive how much blood will pump out of one fish.it improves the meat 100% ,,Dutch
 
great catch. i am jacked to go after the eyes. second that on bleeding the fish. i have a strong stinger that i use while trolling. hook the eye to the stringer, hang the fish overboard, make a cut to the throat up into the gills and pull the fish behind the boat for 10 minutes. from there you can transfer the fish to the ice. I use a sharp pair of scissors to make the cut, one simply snipe is all it takes and by doing it over the side of the boat NO mess. last year on one of my trips we had a couple of fish that didn't get bleed for some reason. when we cleaned our catch it was unbelievable the difference between those bleed and those not. It also makes the cleaning a lot less messy as you don't have as much blood on the table.
 
Hello Sky Hacker, the Elbow is a big place is what I have heard, and I just got into down rigging, where were you on the Elbow ? and what was the depth you were fishing in ? any help would be great on lures as well. Thanks !!!
 
Purple worm harnesses trolling really slow sometimes even putting double worm 1.3-1.8 mph. The elbow is listed on this site under maps.

Hi. the five mile can buoy was always five miles off shore south from nanticoke. about 6 miles will get you to about 70 feet, the area call the bite would be about 3 miles wsw from there and the elbow is 4 miles from the end of long point.Hope this helps.
