Hi portney,i have fished that area for many many years,,,the 59/39 is my go too,,,leave that ugly wire at home its nothing but agrivation and problems,not fun at all in my humble opinion,,,see ya outthere on calm days in my little boat,,,,suggestion if you like,,,run 0 setting on dipsys back 110 to 125 and then take your 1 and 2 setting 20 to 25 back further each,,,,examble in that 80 ft is,,,,0 setting 120,1 setting 140,2 setting 160,,,,sometimes you go a little deepeper or not for them haug walleye,,,and sometimes them trout cme up out there higher,,,its a hoot,you will not be able to keep up!!! I promise,,,,starting late july and all the way through the end of September typically,,,then they come back in 8 or 9 miles in October

When I move my boat from Lorain to Fairport, I would like to give it a go. I’ve heard stories about “ the hole” - Targeting Steelhead and Eyes, think it has to be a prime spot. Fuzzy math, running out from Fairport and back , assuming 26 miles each way, I would burn about 90 gallons of fuel in my Viking 35, plus trolling gas - say another 20 gallons. 110 gallons total x 6 = $660 - split it 3 or 4 ways, not bad. Would take about 3 hours round trip. Good work out for the downrigger’s- rigging up some wire rods - am I missing anything?

Had the best 2 days of walleye fishing ever out in 80' straight north of wildwood back in 1997. Back when the limit was 10 walleye a person. In early August. 3 of us on the boat and we caught 30 walleye the 1st day, and everyone of them was 27" and bigger. Went back 2 days later and repeated the result. We didn't keep any the 2nd day cause we had so much meat from the 1st day.
Lake was flat calm both days. Only had a 17' boat back then. We were running the smaller 0 size dipsys on baitcaster rod and reels. We would just count the passes on the reel to duplicate the presentation. Didn't have line counters back then lol. I had it all on video but lost the videos in one of the moves over the years. I used to video all my trips on erie. Didn't have youtube back then. I could make some money doing it now lol if I could find them 🤣 Man I remember those days-they were the best. Would leave Geneva and head NW till the stacks lined up and started trolling. We had Penn 310's spooled with single strand wire and big dipsys with purple Gold Star spoons on a 18lb. mono leader. 3 of us would bring back 30 25"+ eyes with at least 3 FO's.(not everytime) but most times.Once in a while a bonus steelie.Had to buy a bigger freezer
