Kristi and I decided last minute to take a run down to Edgewater. Ran out to 46-49’ of water. We caught 10 walleyes and kept five. We also got to enjoy a beautiful sunset over a couple of coronas.

Forgot the sunset pic.

Jealous! Our version of that are 6" blue gill in a muddy farm pond

We like catching those TOO Jesse! It is nice though to be able to hook up the boat and be on the water in about 45 minutes.

That's a nice little trip!

Limited casting in 1.5 hours on Saturday. Slept in a bit devilish: ), had breakfast and we didn't decide to go until 9:00 or so. On the water before 11:00 limited by 12:30. We caught somewhere around 30 keepers for the day and I also caught a couple big ass sheepshead.

My middle daughter Jessie is in town for a few days and loves to fish. Kristi had something to do with her mom, so Jess and I headed up to LE yesterday around 4:00 and limited in a couple hours casting Erie Dearies. 17"-22" fish.

I didn't know you could still catch them that way. Do you still use gold nuggets also? That was my favorite way to fish for walleye back in the day.

With or without the worm? I always did a whole

 

[GoetsTalon]

Whole worm for sure. Back when we used to catch the night crawlers our selves. That was a great time also.

Run the hose...wait a little while and don't shine the light directly at them.

They still sell erie deeries and gold nuggets. The worm harnesses I bought this year seem to be made cheaper than in years past, several of the back hooks fell off once the walleye were netted, never had it happen before.

I've still got a tackle box full of Erie decries and hot 'n tots. They still catch fish.

Weight forward spinners still work good. We would much rather feel the bite than just troll with multiple rods and be done in an hour or so. But, there is a time for that also.

Didn't really matter, half a worm when we are running out, whole worms when we start out.

 

[finelyshedded]

I laugh cuz that’s standard procedure I thought, at least for you and me. Lol

 

[Big H]

I typically like to use my whole worm though, just saying....

Not everyone is a good fisherman and can catch them casting. Believe me lol

I have several buddies that are Captains, and some of their stories are very interesting.

Took a couple contractor buddies out yesterday afternoon and we limited casting in 56-60 foot of water in 4.5 hours. Quite a few nice fish, 17"-25". Took us a little while to figure out presentation in that deep water with Erie Dearies. It was a great afternoon until I went to start the boat after a long drift and heard the dreaded click click. Of course, my little battery pack was in the truck, so I had to call Boat US for a jump. She fired right up. Finally got back into the dock a little after 7:00. New batteries going in this week and will have a battery pack designated to stay in the boat.
