FISHCRAZY
04-28-2003, 12:47 PM
Fished Edgewater Sunday night. Those that caught fish, did very well with limits. My buddy went to E 72nd and came back, he said it was very, very slow there. Edgewater produced well Saturday and Sunday (for some).
Prior to Sunday I fished Lorain and E 72nd and the medium to faster retrive worked the best. Last night, I wasted most of the night( 8:30 pm to 11:00 pm) with that presentation with no results, then slowed down and flicked and jerked the bait, it produced right away, hooked and lost three and managed to hold on to the fourth from 11:00 pm to midnight. Every one I talked to, who did good, all used the slow presentations. Color and type of lure didn't matter much, but presentation was the key, so be versatile and change your presentation often, besides the lures. One guy next to me got 4 and lost three, he was using a Chartruse floater Rapala, a couple of other guys with limits, one used a black&silver husky, the other a blue & silver, another next to me got three and was using a pearch floater Rapala, I used the Clawn Husky.
Fish were caught all along the rocks, from the beach to the light (marina entrance). My buddy ran into some guys coming from the light and they said fish were caught all down that way. I was on the beach end, but I saw fished being pulled from the point all the way to the flat. On my way out, I ran into this guy who had two big ones, he was fishing underneath the fishing pier. My point: with more then one mile of shore and fish moving up and down those rock, any spot is as good as any other, so there is planty of room for everybody. I would bet more on empty spots with less people and less noise then on the crowded areas.
Best times so far was between 8:00 pm to midnight. After midnight it was pretty much over. That's not writted in stone, but this seams to be the norm this spring. I stayed a few time till 2:00-3:00 in the mornig, but even on the realy good nights, midnight seamed to be the cut-off!
This was a long one!!! Good Luck!
