Thank you!

Spoons have been my most productive lures the last 2 seasons. Prior to that it was the Black and Chrome Ripplin Red Fin that did the trick. When I'm by myself running 2 lines, most of the time I run 2 spoons to start and will change to a body bait if things are slow (just like in this video). When I'm running a 4 or 6 rod spread, I'll always have at least 1 to 3 body baits out. I only run body baits (Bandits and Reef Runners) on my planer boards. What's your preference?

@@bearbonesfishing I prefer crank baits off boards , I only switch to dipsy divers if the fish are really deep and then spoons seem to be better. Recently tried the stealth diver setup and it out fishes the standard diver rig

Thanks for sharing your insight. The white knuckle, wide eyed, wet ride back to the marina I think happens at least once to almost every angler.

Thanks!

It's a Freedom Blade Bait

Not on the Canadian Side

I might give that a try some time. I've caught perch in the areas around Sarnia Bay Marina but never in great numbers.

😂😂😂. Probably not a great idea on my part with fish hooks around... But there's just something about bare feet on a summers day that feels awesome lol.

This was out of Port Glasgow, Ontario. It's tons of fun! I first tried it at the end of last season and have done it a few times this year. You'll catch more while trolling, but this technique is a nice change of pace.

Port Glasgow for sure.

I'll be running out of Port Glasgow till the end of September.

Lake Erie is littered with walleye these days 😂. Seems like every Port on the US and Canadian side are on fire.

Yessir. Port Glasgow

Along shore had a few soft spots but the outfitters I went with knew the trail to take. I had 14 inches at my hole.

@@matthewjmills Thanks Matt!

Thanks Joe! Just over an hour for those fish. I don't run flashers with my spoons on Erie. I've thrown them on when trout fishing up north a few times, but never felt the need for them on Erie.

I've gone thru all the documentation I was given, as well as the brochure and online web page... I can't seem to find the deadrise info.

@@Joe_DuchonOoooooh... That could be a possibility.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! I was using a Brown Back Berkley Flat Worm and 3/4 oz. weight.

Hi Rob. Ask all the questions you want my man! I'm running a 5.5 to 6 foot leader (I measure it by using my wingspan). I use size 2 or 3 Torpedo brand snap swivels. I have a mixture of both because a couple times I went to the fishing shop, they only had one or the other. So now I'm left with a mix 😂.

@@odochartaighofodonegal9815 No issues as of yet. Mind you it's less than one year old. I take it you've had some problems?

@@bearbonesfishing A few of them, namely the unit twisting around in fixed course bearing and the unit powering off (without tripping the breaker). Had all sorts of recommendations- from bad wiring and bad motherboard to having to recalibrate the GPS compass. Finally broke out the remote foot pedal as a placebo and it worked fine. Turns out the hand-held units are not 'waterproof' but 'water-resistant' as the battery terminals were corroded. Just a heads up. I fish just down the road out of Bruce and follow your content. Keep up the good work and more importantly, keep those lines tight.

@odochartaighofodonegal9815 thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to keep the hand remote dry. Tight lines to you as well!

Top speed I've gotten is 44 mph. I've been out in 3 foot chop and even larger rolling waves. Boat handles those incredibly well, just have to take it easy and play the throttle.

I'd head out till you hit 65 feet of water. Troll between 65 and 68 feet. I'm usually going around 2.4 to 3.0 mph. Spoons and Ripplin Redfins have been great! Adjust the depth of your dipsies or downriggers depending on what depth in the water column you're marking the fish. I've caught them from 15 feet all the way down to 60 feet on some days. I may be heading out Friday as well. Hope to see you out there!

@@bearbonesfishing Nice, hope to see you too. We are in a wilker 17' 4's company. Do you have a marine CB?

@@Joe_Duchon thanks Joe!

I use the Okuma Pro Magda 30 DXT reels and Okuma Classic Pro Great Lakes Trolling Rods, a 7.5 foot (inside rod) and 9 foot (outside rod).

@@roberthunt1788 I'd say way more rough days than there are flat conditions. That said, depending on your level of comfort, you can get out quite a bit, you just might need to take it slow. But with any of the great lakes, always erh on the side of caution. When in doubt, just sit out!

@@tuiflies5869 that's a great way of going about it. I actually cycled thru most of the lures you mentioned. That day they had no interest in anything but the plain jig and plastic. Do you use the jign raps and blade baits in specific conditions?

I've got the GeigerTech Marine Mega Mount

Nice meeting you too

Thanks!

This just made my day! Thanks Clayton!
