Lorain area bite

[cjb]

Last weekend was a bust with only one 6" walleye and some trash.
Has anyone been out later this week? Are the may flies thinning out? any positive catching news to report?

Thanks in advance,
Should be out saturday morning

I was out there this morning before the big waves kicked up. There were a lot of swells early however. Did manage to get one 21" walleye in about 36 FOW just North of the harbor. We only fished for 1 and 1/2 hours before the wind and waves chased us off. Trolling was difficult so we cut the kicker and just drifted. Lots of sheephead and whitebass around too. Many boats were coming in early and a few came down to the ramp, took a look at the lake, and headed back home.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

Went out of Lorain Saturday morning, 7/3, Pulled 12 walleyes on 20 jets (120 back) and big dipsies 75-90 back. Superman, Shrimp and Oilslick were the most productive spoons. North 31-32 West 13-17, almost all the fish came trolling with the east wind, waves were a solid 2 foot.

I have never used the jets do you run them like a dipsey or do you run them with planner boards? I would like to try them but am not sure how to rig them up. Thanks for your help.

Jets are most often run behind boards (in-lines or big boards). Even 30 and 40 Jets cn be fished behind in-line boards.

thanks for the replies,
we made it out saturday & took 6 fish drifting (7am-noon).
Captain is still resisting trolling & refuses to use the GPS I got him s few years back. Most came on chartuese/green erie deries, only one on a gold mayfly rig, nothing but non-eyes on bottom bouncer.
