Finally get time to post this report guess better late than never
The long weekend looked too be the best of the summer, how is that for a kick in the teeth
Gathered up the family Saturday and down too our little peace of heave on Lake Erie.
I got up bright and early Sunday to head out got too the launch and forgot my boat keys, at least it was only 5 min back to our camp site. Oh well bound too happen once or twice a year
What a beautiful day too be on the water, nice and cool, calm in the morning
Got my riggers all set up and started my troll for the nice walleye, After about twenty minutes one pops its only a little one but kind of feisty..
Up it come and a beautiful silver bass.
Not that I would eat that but are they any good?
So I continue my trolling along, I go too check my bait and up comes another great walleye,
I must have lost about 3 more on hook ups but you could not have got a better day on the water,
Day 2
Up again early on the Sunday double check and triple check to make sure I have the boat keys
Set up and again lost 2 with one line break. Stupid store bought worm harness.
Then one of the rods goes off and I picked up the best of the year so far..
It got so hot by 11:am stopped the boat, took up the riggers and overboard me and the dog went.
I would say it was the best day on the open water all year so far.
Now the tough questions for you Lake Erie guys,
No matter how light I set the riggers I could not get a walleye to pop the clip, they would just swim behind the boat until I poped it myself. If I went too light the harness drag would pop the rigger.
What type of clips do you guys use?
