Cleveland Perch & Walleye. The Perfect Suday!

[FISHCRAZY]

Sunday, four of us perched in 28 fow in front of the Gold Coast. We got our limit of perch from 10:00 am to about 3:00 pm. After we went for walleyes. Set up troll in about 45 fow in front of the Gold Cost and headed east. Set the first Renosky Mirror Image Chartreuse deep diver 125' off the big boards on th port side. Set another on the starboard side 75' back. The 125' back already had one on. Eventually we ended up setting all the deep divers at 125' back. We trolled east about 2 miles past the crib in 45 to 48 fow. We picked fish steady and had about eight by the time we decided to turn back. About a mile east of the crib we decided to turn north and aim for deeper waters. When we passed 49 fow all #### broke lose, rods started popping left and right. Even the deapseas went crazy, by this time we had them set at 40' back on # 3 and 30' back on # 2. At one point we had three rods go off on port side and two on starboard side, at the same time, went to mark a way point but it was already there from about the same time in 2005. When we got into 50 fow, we picked up some BIG WALLEYES. Boated an 11 pounder and quite a few eights. I knocked my first walleye, ever, off with the net, the biggest one of the day! All the deep divers produced fish with Mirror Image perch tops on numbers, but the Fire Glo deep diver Rainbow Trout hooking the biggest fish of the day, one we boated, and one OOPS! Behind deapseas we had Mirror Image Spoons and shallow Joe Pirates Wonderbread and Chartreuse. GPS speed was 1.8 to 2.2 mph. By 8:30 pm we boated our 24th walleye and pulled lines. As we pulled lines, we took another 5-6 walleyes that we put back in, one was a 9 pounder, but since we had the fish on ice it was no way to upgrade, so we kissed it goodbye and let it go. All In all, a day to remember!

Saturday night, fished out of Edgewater, same program and area as Friday worked again with the Renoskys deep and shallow divers. The dipseas also picked fish, # 3 setting 50', and # 2 setting 25' with Mirror Image spoons.Saturday May 26, 2007Friday night fished out of Edgewater. Set up in 40 fow in front of the stadium, start catching them right off the bet. Renosky deep diver mirror Image Chartreuse took 4 and lost one before we even finished setting up all the rods, 50' back from in-line boards. The the Mirror Image deep divers Walleye, Black Shad and Perch kicked in, same set up 50' back. After dark did real well east and west of, and by the mouth of the Cuyahoga, 30' back using Renosky Joe Pirates shallow diver, Wonderbread, Firetiger, and Chartreuse. Also shallow divers Mirror Image in Chartreuse and Black Shad.

Thursday night, started fishing around 5:30pm out of Edgewater, Cleveland. Got into a good pocket of fish just east of the Crib in 48 fow. Renosky deep divers Fire Glo Rainbow Trout, and Pink/Purple. Joe Pirate deep diver Wonderbread, Rainbow Trout, and Black & Silver. Mirror Image Black Shad, Walleye, and Perch. All deep divers worked at 75' off the big boards. Big Dipseas with Mirror Image Spoons and Chatter Sticks. 7-' at 3 setting and 50' ad 2 setting. 2.00 mph GPS speed.Night bite just east of the river in 32 fow. Renosky shallow divers 10' to 30' off the in-line boards. Joe Pirates Wonderbread, and Chartreuse. Mirror Image Chartreuse and Black Shad. Time to work 35 to 40 fow in front of the Eastlake Power Plant for BIG FISH, always got big fish there this time of year up to mid June. Deep diver 75' to 125' off the big boards. Call Ron at Northcoast Bev. & Tackle. Also, walleyes are being caught all along the southern shore, so have fun!

Virgil,
I believe we found the fish you were catching yesterday afternoon but they were on the bottom today nd didnt go for us.
Ended up going over to goldcoast and getting our fish late Mon afternoon.Kids first time up at Erie and they had a blast.

Thanks for the reports,
Kdog

Kdog, I was up on monday as well, what a gorgous day. I was farther east then you I believe. I went out of wildwood, and didnt fair to good. Only fished for 3 hours, but only got 2 fish on harnesses. Where is the gold coast? Im guessing it is farther west, past the Cleveland. I heard guys on radio saying that it was tougher for them on Monday. But man even though it was slow, what a gorgous day. I bet your kids are hooked already on the big lake. Once they get on the lake on a day like that, that is the only place they want to go. I dont blame them.....

Dude,

YES Monday was a gorgeous day,,,,,especially when im the water with my kids and walleye fishing!We got a late start,didnt start fishing till about 2 but still had a good day.

I didnt know where the gold coast was either,not being a Cleveland regular,but found out yesterday.If you launch out of Edgewater the row of condos/apts if you look Northwest is what they call the goldcoast.Literally cant miss them,,,theres about 7/8 of them.

I have another long weekend this coming weekend and hopefully we'll get some good weather.I seen Vermillion was on fire this past weekend.If your not working fri i may go out(hint)if your interested let me know.

Dog, your killing me. LOL... Im on vacation next week, so Im going to have to work for sure on friday. It is kind of frustrating looking at some of these reports. Looks like Im going to have to buy some of those Renosky's. Jimmy was using them a couple of years ago out of geneva, and that was the only thing we could get a bite on. So I know they work. I thought they were only good out in the NY waters of Erie. One thing I know is that ther is so much bait in the water, its no surprise to me that it is tough at times around the Cleveland area. The muckleheads are annoying but at least they dont bite or sting. I promised the girls that I would take them camping and fishing on Erie next week, but Im still trying to figure out where to go. Do I go all the way to the Islands, where the fishing is probably more consistant. Or do I go to the verm/lorain area. Or the Cleveland area. Oh well thanks for the invite for friday. Are you going to stay all weekend, or are you just going up on Friday? I maybe available on Saturday if you what someone to teach how to fish....

[Kdog]

Dude,

If i were you id definately go to the vermillion area,,,,seems likes its hotter and more consistant than what i seen in Cleveland right now.

Sat i may have a baeball game or two with the kids,,,im coaching.But if i dont its a possibility for sure.I'll check and let ya know later today.

Ive been running the Renonsky shallow diver for a few years but this deep diver is new i believe,,,,at least i never heard of the deep divers before.Im going to have to stop and get a few myself.
