Managed to boat 25 eyes between 2-6 pounds. And I managed to break one off, don't know what it was except heavy and in a real hurry to get away from our boat !

Water was real muddy at Buffalo, till we cleared the windmills. From about Smokes to west of Hamburg, the water kept getting cleaner.

Surface temp was 57-58 degree's.

Everyone loves to look at pictures. Try to include pictures in your post.

You do not have to fill in all the details, but as much information as possible is very much appreciated!

A fishing report without any details is just a bragging post.

Moved out to 90 fow and it got much better.

Ended up with 12 eyes, 2 lakers (released) and 1 steelhead.

Easily dropped another 7-8 fish....guys slow on the rods today.

Little bit of everything....5 color with a rainbow yo-zuri; watermelon

harness and a stinger scorpion monkey puke on the little slides

200-210 back; 185 on the wire, yeck watermelon and watermelon

harness. 10 color down the chute with a big hatchet blade. 60-70

rigs stinger purple parrot and gold watermelon and watermelon

yeck.

1.7-1.8 at the ball.

9 degree temp break at 60 fow...very unusual for Erie.

Dunkirk Fri-Sun. 100 boat field, already 30+ boats on a waiting

list to get in next year.

Day 1-Friday

Looked like it was going to roll again, so we decided to try a north-south

troll. Goal was to hit the border eventually, unless we did some fish. Ended up 6/7 on the walleye, with 2 steelhead. Three fish weighed

in at 17.97lbs, good enough for 13th out of 100 for day 1. Steelhead

came on the rigs, 52 and 60 down on a stinger confusion and a stinger

chicken wing.

Walleye...4 on a 10 color, watermelon hatchet harness. 2 on the big

slides..1 on an orange harness, the other on a DW ss chicken wing.

1 on the boards, little slide, 200 back.

I felt pretty good about the fish I saw, and thought Day 2 would be ok.

Day 2: 8/4

I had previously booked a charter for the morning, so you know what happened next.....we went 14/14 on the 'eyes..big box, including 1 10lber, and 2 9's, and probably another 3 over 8. One of the best boxes I've

had in a long time. Awesome.

10 color with a big hatchet; 5 color with dave kabooms on the boards, wire big slides at 155 and 175 back...DW ckicken wing and harnesses, and little slides on the boards with harnesses. 1.6-1.8 at the ball.

Went back in the afternoon with my derby crew, did 8 'eyes and 2 steelies in 2.5 hrs. No real size, but good eaters...same stuff as the am, plus 2 on a watermelon yeck off the 55 rigger.

Slide a bit in the standings since we couldn't post the weight we

had in the morning...but still in 28th out of 100..going into day 3.

Day 3: 8/5

Loads slower today for everyone.

Did 4 eyes early, then it died out. Mix...1 on wire 175 on 3 on

a harness; 1 on a 52 rigger on a DW confusion; 1 on 5 color on a

gold daves kaboom and 1 on a 200 little side, orange/copper harness.

Weighed in just under 12 lbs...good enough for 20th place out of 100

teams.

Would of, Could of's......

If we could have weighed in the Saturday morning box, we would have

had the 2 largest 'eyes for the day, probably the 1st or 2nd heaviest box

for the day, the 2 heaviest fish for the derby, and would have been in 2nd

or 3rd overall..... I kind of had a feeling it would stack up that way!

Food

Club did a massive fish fry at the end. Deep fried, oven baked, and grilled

walleye! Winner by far, though was a bacon wrapped walleye. Scallop

size walleye nuggets, wrapped in bacon,toothpicked, and sprinkled with

Old Bay. Put right on the grill until the bacon was crispy. Delicious!

ended up heading out at 2 pm. Did 8 'eyes and dropped a couple more. 80-100 fow from Dunkirk west to off Shorewood. 10 color with a big

watermelon hatchet harness was good, also 65-75 riggers....couple

on a copper confusion super slim DW; 1 on a purple dolphin stinger.

Only 1 off the wire..200 back on 3, no ring (slide diver). Nice box...

probably close to a 5lb average....

Went back Saturday morning to same spot....what a difference 11 hours makes! Down temp was 5-7 degrees colder, no fish on the graph....so searching we went... Ended up off Vanburen Point (west of Dunkirk) in 100 fow, so we decided to head north and did 5 eyes and a brown in a little over 45 minutes. Ended up with 9 walleye, 1 brown, 2/3 on steelies (around 7lbs) and 3 lakers, the biggest was pushing 20lbs...

Little bit of everything again...10 color with large hatchet harness,

stinger scorpion monkey puke; stinger chicken wing off the rigs; watermelon yeck off the big slides, 150-165 back on 3, and harnesses

175 and 225 back on the small slides off the boards. No one color

hotter than the rest. Down speed was best 1.6-1.8 on the depth raider.

Didn't fish Sunday, but based on some reports, took a ride out to the border Monday. Marked some good spots of bait/fish. Had to really work for them today. Went 8/10 on the walleye....dropped our best fish right behind the boat. Biggest boated was 28". Did a couple on the 10color...big hatchet...1 on the rig on a fishlander(silver with pink/purple/glow); the rest came off the big boards running slide divers...200-225 back on harnesses.

1.6-1.8 at the ball.

Off now for a few days....
