Lake Erie Eastern Basin Bite

[Mark Komo]

Once shorthanded nails down the bite, I am gonna drag your HVAC, crappy cigar chewing ass out there, Ray!

[ray koziatek]

ok but were going in my boat

[times two]

Slow out of Dunkirk today on a beautiful lake. We boxed 4 walleye, 60 fow. Most

of the guys seemed to be in the 1-2 fish range. Not a lot of good screens, and the

water temps in my mind are a touch on the cool side yet.

[fishkiller16]

We ended up with 2 weighers and 1 other one that was 1/4" shy of being a weigher. 1 was 7lbs ant her other was 8.64lbs. 75 fow between the catt and center rd.

[Mark Komo]

Ray, what the big starcraft scare ya? I will be sure to have some riggers on for ya. HA!... Your always welcome on the boat.

[Mark Komo]

I am so digging this little spot

The "Early June" fishing conditions happen when the surface water temperatures are between 55 and 65 degrees. The little green algae is blooming there, the phytoplankton critters are feasting there, the newly hatched fry and minnows are there and all the yellow perch, white bass, white perch, walleyes are up there feeding. So keep your lures above 20 feet using sideplaners with 3 colors of leadcore, jets and dipseys about 50 to 75 foot out depending on the side settings.

3 fish today ... just shy of being weighers...

N to NW of Seneca 51 fow and 40 ft down

blk/pink harnesses, 1.7mph down speed

riggers (40' off ball) and medium blk dispys down 40ft off big boards

saw fish feeding off bugs on surface, but couldn't get them to go.

out again tomorrow...

With the easy winds and bluebird sky the dawn bite is best. Good fish west of silver creek.

nice fish Jim

We fished out of Barcelona Sunday. The bite is really picking up. We only fished for a few hours but managed 5 Eyes and dropped a nice one behind the boat. Fished 65 - 75 fow. Water temps down 55/60 feet west of the harbor were about 8 degrees cooler than east. The fishing seemed to get better the further west we went. My buddy did 10 on Saturday out of Shade beach in Pa. Dark colors seemed to be the best. Took one eye off a black and silver stick bait, the rest of worn harnesses. 10 color and dipsey rods took the most fish as we had about 10 silver bass and sheephead as well.

I'd love to see a Barcelona report thread started. I'll be fishing it quite a bit. It's only 25 minutes from home and would be more than happy to contribute as many reports as I can!!

Welcome and thanks for contributing to the thread. A separate thread for Barcelona was suggested, I don't have a preference, but this thread is the "Eastern Basin" and as good as any. many of us will be headed that way often the rest of the year and will post often.

Sunday was pretty good out of Dunkirk too. Fished west towards Van Buren Point.

40 jets with copper orange harnesses and chattersticks was the best. Did take a few

on the slide divers too.

Boated 4 that were in the 14-15" range that we had to kick. Good sign! Heard

several others report the same.....
