Let the good times roll!

Anyone ever try a NWT coangler event?  I see they have a stop in Dunkirk in August. For those that have competed, what are your opinions on the tournament experience?

[Gill-T]

This weather has me confused. Playing with dummy dots and my hole puncher again.

I’ve fished as a co angler on the nwt a couple times. Well worth doing . I won 4 grand in Detroit once. I’m not sure what it would be like now with forward facing sonar

[Gill-T]

Ya, that is just worry. Guys running to Ohio to use forward facing imaging in 5’ waves and a bass boat. Hopefully, I would get paired with a troller.

This years NWT visit to Dunkirk is a regular event which means more entrants/boats than the 2022 Championship with limited qualifiers.  Interesting to attend a weigh in just to see the boats and what goes on.  Some of the local tournaments have some good numbers of entrants too.  The shotgun start of Sunset Bay Shootout would be one of those.

With boredom comes innovation of some new worm spoons patterns. Friekin weather has to break.

Launches in Huron River Ohio are open.

Lots of open water on West end. Modis satellite shot of Erie today.

When you have run out of ideas of lures to buy, you can always look in Europe. $19 per lure so I won’t use these to bounce off any structure but wow Rapala Europe has some great paint jobs. Darkagelures.com.

the 1st bait would be Steelhead killer and still catch walleye trolling the central basin of Erie out of Geneva Ohio. and I wouldn't count the last out until I gave them a good try.
