WOW!
What a wonderfully kind offer.

😎

Catch 'em up!

 

That is a kind of offer. I reached out to my father who retired about a year ago. He's been fishing forever but seems to lack the motivation anymore unless I take him on a bigger trip or take some vacation days to bring the boat up to northeast Ohio.
He said he was going to catch up on sleep the first year of retirement and I think he's hit that point haha. Hopefully I'll send a message with his info if I can convince him.

 

I haven't trolled 1 day yet either. I would rather catch them on spinning rods any day. I will admit that I haven't tried out in 70' of water. I stopped going when I couldn't find them in 50' and shallower.
That's a great offer you have thrown out there for people.

 

I have been casting Conneaut also, the fishing has been fantastic. Nothing like feeling your line getting heavy and setting the hook. The fish lately have been holding at 50 ft. in the 73- 75 foot range. The only thing that is wrong, I like to fun fish a lot but most of the fish you land their air bladders blow, pushing their stomachs out, even if you bring them up slow. I like to keep the the 16-18 inch ones, the fish we are getting seem to be 20 plus ones with the biggest being 28 and are real fat . So we are keeping every one brought in. We also caught a couple of sheepheads out there so they all didn't die. Gold and purple were the hot colors

 

What is your set up to get down to the fish, when they are that deep? Thanks

 

Im using 3 oz egg sinkers on a 30 count, my daughter's bf has been using 2 oz with equal or better results,so I'll say do a little experimenting and see what works with your retrieve. We tie our harnesses with a large loop with a trapped bead, just slide the weight over the loop and snap on your line. I also close the bail when it hits the water as they hit it on the fall quite often. All this depends on how fast your drifting also

 

We were casting out and letting it hit the bottom then winding it up 10 cranks We would hold it there for a few minutes then a slow wind back in They seemed to hit it right after you started to bring it in

 

Do you prefer the Sheetz or Getgo Italian sub? Might be able to last week in August

 

I'm not a picky eater, any sammich works for me
