King Slammin

Nice fish guys

First day trip this year, now that the water is warming nicely. We started slow with a couple bass and sheepshead on sticks early. Once we found some active fish it was all harnesses. No pattern to the bites as far as color since nuclear green Colorado, watermelon willow and gold goby hatchet blades all took fish.

Thanks guys. Now that June fishing is upon us, i will be fishing Erie for eyes. This may was the worst spring king fishing I can remember, for me at least. Sk8, I am loving the opti. Trolls down to 1.7 if the current is right and when paired with the terrova, I don't even have to touch the steering wheel.

I give up. Went out last night for a couple hours with my dog and the Mrs. Had one hit and gone shortly after we set up in 220. Then had a huge school of bait knock off my deep rigger. We turned back south in 330' and tripled once we got into 240' in front of olcott. I lost the bigger fish on the 75' rigger almost immediately, grabbed the diver and gave it to my wife as the 10 color started peeling back. I played with the board line until I netted her small steelie and then have her the lead core after unclipping the board and she landed a 6-8 lb coho. Daytime walleye bite is starting up so I think I'll start fishing Erie more.

Got out around 9:30 with the Mrs. It was her first time on our "new" boat and her first time walleye fishing day or night. Water temp is up to 65 degrees and the silvers are in pretty good. We managed 4 eyes and a bunch of silvers. My wife got her first eye which made our night. We left for home a little after midnight.

There is a boat sunk that way somewhere. Vince told me about it when I told him what had happened.

That is my favorite part of the night. Throwing the throttle forward and cruising back to buffalo with a full livewell, in the dark on calm seas. Full moon overhead and a ton of shimmering lights on shore to light the way. Nothing better in my opinion. The late nights are catching up to me though and a hot daytime bite sounds great to me.

Probably soon. Water temp was 60 in some spots last night and we caught a half dozen silvers in the shallows too. Some are catching them in the top of the water column over deeper structure during the day but nothing heavy yet. At least from what I've heard

Was able to boat a limit last night which felt great after struggling to catch kings last week. They turned on right about 11:30 and had a few moments of one after another until I left at 1:00.

I lost two Downrigger balls just east of Wilson in 85' about 4-5 years ago.

Nice job. I'm heading out tonight myself.
