Hello I am new to this site and this is my first thread. Very quick thanks to all for info I have gotten the past year since becoming a huge fishing fan of Lake Erie Ont and 6-8 fishing reports.
I was out Monday with my son and headed East from Pt. Burwell first stop was 43 fow near the sand hills. We caught 5 quick descent yellows. tried various spots until about 3pm most all other boaters were gone and perch stopped biting. I noticed a couple large charter boats just out, one headed far and deep barely could see him and the other was trolling where I was in 42 to 47 fow. I said to my son let's start trolling. I loaded my down rigger up with small spoons on the main and another on the cheater set it at 35 feet with 25 foot lead on the main. I also setup a dipsy diver using a chad rap and about 75' out. We trolled for 2 hours during which we were marking all kinds of schools of bait fish with 6 to 10 much larger fish on the sonar. Not one hit on anything. So many markings on the sonar but no hits. Can anyone suggest what I could have tried to make a difference? Thanks in advance
