Went out on Oneida for a couple of hours in the morning. Had other stuff to do. Only got 1 eye, 11 pickeral ( bastards) and one smallmouth. All my buddies hammered them.

I went out of Barcenlona Harbor on Lake Erie at 10:00 pm Saturday night,headed down the lake around the rock piles to the 10 to 12 ft depths infront of DJ's Campground.Marked lots of bait fish,but only caught 3 eyes in 4 hours of trolling. Caught all 3 walleye by long lineing rapala's 120 back at 1.8 mph.Black & Silver S-13 Rapala's! Usually this time of the year we catch limits for two of us,either the super moon made it to bright out or a good number olf the walleye have moved out to 24 to 26ft depths already.

Sorry for the delay on my report...busy with work and school.

Got out friday night about 2am. 5 minutes in landed a 22".

Did a few more passes then moved to deeper ledge - notta there

Moved up the Bemus area and got another 22".

Back on dock around 5:30am

Saturday

didnt fish at all during day...was too dam tired

was tired and just did 4 passes in same area..Landed a 23" and a 16" (released for next year)

was back on dock at 10pm

The late start (friday)and full(ish) moon (fri/sat) made it tough...but still fun as hell.

I was trolling Thundersticks and color does matter =)
