I went to Erie for the first time this year, the good news is I got limit. The bad/other good news is I got to spend 12 hours doing it. Even though I forgot my weights, which are supposed to be in my tackle bag. I still managed to catch a limit in 25-30 FOW running maglip 3.5's, at 97 back unassisted and a slide diver back 33 and 45 with spoons, also taking fish.
I did catch quite a few gaspergoo's, 1 perch, 1 white perch, 1 white bass, and 3 or 5 shorts. I baked all day in the 91 degree sun because.
1- because I wanted walleye
2- OHIO RAISED THE PRICE FOR YEARLY AND DAILY NON RESIDENTS.
Two years ago I paid 50 for a nonresident yearly, now.... it's 79. The guys I brought could get a daily for 10 bucks...... Now it's 27 for a daily.... A DAILY that is just robbery. I might go back 1 more time before switching to Lake Michigan for the year, not really sure. Their dailies are still 10 bucks in MI.... for now, the yearlies are the same. And since I am on the back side of summer, the kings will be showing up in Holland. I think I might as well get a yearly and head north. I'm just not sure how many yearly non resident licenses I can justify. Anyway not sure what the plan is but it sure looks like it's going to cost more money.... as everything does... it just feels a little wrong.
I thought it looked different but in the heat of battle I didn't look closely. It wasn't until I got home and cleaned this fish and saw the pic that I was like WOW that is different.
Apparently it's a silver walleye, they're are not really uncommon but still, it's the first one I've ever caught.
Anyway not sure if I'm fishing next week, I gotta finish some work I did on my bimini before I go out again.
Be safe
