Good day for us today out of Barcelona too. Weeded through probably 30 or so for a 2 man limit over 21 inches. Everything worked but 800 Bare Naked Reef Runner on 6 color and Blue Silver Prism Bomber on 200 copper were best on the bigs.

Our trip was a whopping success. Went out of Barcelona. 3 man limit in 70 to 100 fow. Everything we put in water took fish. Stick baits, harnesses, spoons. 200 foot coppers did well and cheated spoons over the harnesses on the riggers. You guys are lucky to have that fishery at your fingertips. Amazing fishery.

Making our maiden voyage to Erie this Saturday. Thanks for all the intel. Hopefully we get a couple.

I haven't been out since my first trip! Our weekend weather has sucked for my boat all spring. I'm too old to be cold and miserable.

Really good bite for us. Harbor looked perfect but we did our damage in the 35 degree green water in 20 to 30 fow East of the harbor. Water reminded me of the green water you see in glacier fed rivers. Nor much clarity. 3.5" blue/silver Smithwicks and flat silver Sutton 44s with a strip of oil slick tape were hot.

Quick trip before it go too rough Saturday ended up in 7 keepers. Went Sunday at noon, easy limit in an hour and half. Same program and location as the last month. My wife let me stand by her fish for a pic.

Got out for a change of scenery for a couple hours tonight. Haven't fished it much the last couple because of all the walleye trolling pressure. We got a couple nice quality fish. Sad to see the screen so empty on the fish finder but there has been a lot of adult eyes killed the last few years. I'm no expert but just my two cents.

I owe Mike Weaver for having pity on me ten years ago when I started fishing Oneida. He put me on to that Reef Runner it has been my best ever since. Just paying it forward I guess. Plenty of fish in Oneida for everyone anyway.

I was keeping it between 2.0 and 2.2 mph.

Went out for a troll around 1:00 from the South Shore launch. Lake was pretty quiet by then. Water temp was about 48 degrees, east wind, wasn't expecting much. Steady pick after 3:30 and ended up with 6 in two hours, all keepers. Every fish came on a Bare Naked Reef Runner that was running down about 18 feet, over 25 to 28 fow. Not sure how to rotate a pic I guess.

My old smoker is available if anyone is interested. I have taken the pellet feeder out but all you need is to throw a turkey fryer burner in it. Can probably come up with some racks for you. Also have my old Eureka ice fishing tent available. Has a flap in the floor for your holes. Probably about 40 years old but is complete and works. Pick up near Tully.

I haven't had those problems (mine are all 12s) but when you clean it, take apart everything that comes apart, including getting the firing pin out. They ship those guns with some pretty heavy oil in them.

i have a few A400s and love them. I have a light model that I use for bird hunting. checkout the Ultralight model that is out now. probably comparable to mine. Basically nil on recoil and a pleasure to carry chasing birds. That upland version looks sweet. i don’t have that one!

Here is a shot of my rig. 17' Mirrocraft with almost an 8' beam. Nice thing with this is the gunnels are super stout and handle tracks/riggers no problem. Other neat thing Mirrocraft does is spray the inside of the hull with a bedliner type material. Makes for a really quiet ride. Had this rig for 11 years and love it. We trailer and fish where the wind allows and pick our days on Lake Ontario.
