Hit the ramp about 5:15 on a beautiful partly cloudy Sunday afternoon. Air temp was 70 with a 5 to 10 knot southwest wind and the water temp ranged from 56 to 59. Got some good info at the ramp from a nice fella on his way out. Said they were catching them in close off the Gold Coast trolling bandits 35-40ft back. Since his report and my plan pretty much lined up I was feeling confident. We started trolling just after Edgewater beach 1.6-1.8 MPH headed dead west in 16-26 ft of water. The graph was showing plenty of life so why not, I figured. Ran 2 perfect 10’s, 2 Bandits, a Flicker Minnow and a Husky Jerk. Took about 45 min to get our first on a Perfect 10 40ft set back. 20 min later we got our second fish on a Bandit 35 ft set back. 15 min later we got another on the Husky Jerk set back 50. Five minutes after that we had our forth on a flicker minnow 35ft back. Then we hit a lul and it wasn’t until we turned north mid way thru our turn around that we got out 5th fish on a Bandit set back 40ft. 20 min later we got our sixth fish on the Husky Jerk set back 50ft. Trolled back east till 8:40 then called it a day. We fished from 16-36ft of water and there were plenty of fish. The key was to keep your lures in that 10-15 ft running depths. We caught on purple, green, yellow, blue/red,& blue/green. Basically color didn’t matter. That’s why I like to keep a variety out even if I catch a lot on one particular color one day. All fish caught where post spawn males. Beautiful evening on Lake Erie couldn’t ask for more!!

Kyle with our first one.


Lake like glass planners running smooth.


The kind of sunset that soothes your soul.


It only warmed your heart at first but still worth a look.


Kyle took 2 both about 24”. These ranged 23&1/2” to 21” and 4.14 to 2.8 lbs.

We even like gill pics here. And dink bass!! I look at it like this. They took time out of there day to visit you the least you can do is snap a picture!👍🏻😂

Glad to help!! As one of the stages all time great says, “we care so we share!”

Where about are you from? If you have gotten your kids are interested in fishing you’re the one that deserves kudos! Not easy now a days with all the other options for them.

And I still want a glint in my father’s eye! I recognized it all. Not bad for a whipper snapper. My last truck with hand crank windows went to the junk yard in 2020.

If you were nice about it like it seems you where you absolutely did the right thing. Especially if it upset him. That means deep down he knew you were right. Hopefully your comment will bother him enough that he does keep a better eye on her. Much better a bruised ego then a hurt, lost or worse grandchild. He’d never forgive himself for that.

100% Phishing!!

If you read it, it sounds like someone who isn’t a native English speaker.

I do not have your skills!!! You are a human electric knife. No need to upgrade if you can fillet like that!!!

Totally understand that! At last years N.E. Meet and Greet Whitey had one and he was filleting 3 fish to my one at least. They are really easy to use. He showed me the technique and I was whipping them out right away pretty easy to use.

I agree, a motley crew but a great bunch.😂🤣😂Glad you plan to stick around Kandy the stage is a better place because you’re here!
