Good luck @wildeye rainbow to you both!!I'm heading down to Bruce in a bit. Any updates on lake conditions as Mrs WR is coming along.
Thx!

Thanks Red. We did get down to Bruce; it was a bit more lumpy than Mrs WR would have liked. We did end up washing lures for about a half hour before we (she) called it. one 3 lb wally on a chrome/blue RR 6 colour on leadcore. 2 knockoffs with dipsey and gold.black RR. At least, I got out for a bit of a walleye dinner. In 55 fow, btw.Good luck @wildeye rainbow to you both!!
A great updated report @wildeye rainbow & enjoy your walleye fry to you both & good luck in the a.m. tomorrow if you do go out walleye fishing again.Thanks Red.

Hopefully, we get again tomorrow am for another round. They seemed a bit scattered for the short time we were out.

@Real Therapy some great looking walleye’s there & some very happy angler’s as well & congratulations to them for their great result for their first time ever fishing for walleye’s on lake erie. Tight lines & enjoy your walleye fry to you all!!Had a great afternoon with a some great guys! First time ever fishing Erie and they had a blast. We ended up keeping 14 between 3 of us and letting about 6 or 7 go to get a little bigger. Fish tonight were for the most part all decent sizes with the biggest at 7 1/4 pounds. We started in 48 fow but most productive was 55-58 fow back 120 #3 dispeys and 10 colour LC.
Fish were on a body bait bite to begin then I moved over to an almost all spoon bite later in the afternoon.
All and all a great trip!

A great evening @G.Mech of fishing to you all & I am finding as well that the lead core has been working the best for me. I have not put my downrigger on my boat yet so far this year. Tight lines & enjoy your walleye fry.Fished 3pm to 8pm. Trolled out from 44-60 fow and picked up a few fish along to way. Came back in to 55-58 and picked away there until we got our 4 man limit but it was a slow to medium pace which was okay. 7 and 8 core were by far the best and redfins were better than spoons. Riggers just took up space, I think we got two eyes and junk despite working them pretty hard. Mix of bigger 6-7 lb fish and 16-18" ones with a few smalleyes released. Nice afternoon to be out after 3 weeks without fishing.
I would agree 48-52 was best for us once the lake allowed us to manoeuvre around them.What depth worked for you short rod. In the morning the skinny water was best 48-50.
Hey @poconokidII - sorry i didn't get a chance to say hi and meet you- did see the nice red Lund and your other half though - glad to hear you got into some fish. It was certainly a bumpier than I was expecting based on the forecast - but that just seem to be one of this years trends, don't it? The CO was actually very cool - I offered to show him the cooler once I got the boat out of the water - he says, no need, have a great day, and off he went Didn't ask for my license or anything - guess how you interact with them will determine how they interact with you?Hey @spincast I was just launching my boat (red Lund) when you came in,,, the attendant told me he saw you on the bridge when you were coming in and he came to see you...lol... it was a little bumpy going out but I marked a ton of fish from45-52 FOW and only managed 8.. lake calmed down later but I only fished from2:30-6:30... gold orange black RRF did most of the damage on riggers set at 40-45 and a couple on purple greasy chicken on dipsey 140 #3.. cheers
