The size of the Erie Dearie you use depends on water depth and drift speed
of your boat. When a trailer on the lure make sure your night crawlers or
worms that are alive and active.
Keep the worms alive and fresh in a cool area out of the sun. Stuff wet
paper on top of the worms and put the carton in a cooler or refrigerator.
The worms absorb the moisture, which makes them fatter, lively and more
enticing to Lake Erie walleyes. Tipping your walleye lures with live bait is
a great combination for walleyes with the scent and action of a real night
crawler. Fishing with a jig tipped with a minnow, leech or a whole worm
takes walleyes in just about every lake or river. If you have a fish finder
to locate the walleyes and to see the depth of the water is also a big help.
Another way is to watch where the other walleye fishermen are fishing and
drift along with them. Drift fishing Lake Erie for walleye is the best way
to have good luck when fishing.
These steps required to get a walleye to see their bait and potentially
bite. Walleye fisherman need to stay informed on what baits and speed is
necessary to catch them. The diet of walleye shifts very rapidly depending
on what is available for them to eat. Some walleye spinner rigs will use two
hooks that way a worm or other live bait has a hook in its middle part for
short striking walleyes.
Drifting the Erie Dearie slowly keeping the fishing line tight
works great for schools of walleye. If you are drifting to fast you can put
a couple buckets over the side of the boat and they will slow the drift.
Many fishermen have done this many times it will keep the walleye bait
deeper.
When using minnows to catch walleye It is better not to use big minnows. One
and a half to two inches work best. You can still catch many Walleye without
the minnow or crawler but it dose work better when the fish are being picky.
Lake Erie Walleye recipe:
• 2 lb. walleye fillets
• 1/3 c. chopped green onion
• 1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced (1 cup)
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. fresh ground white pepper
• 1 tsp. leaf marjoram, crumbled
• 2 Tbsp. dry white wine
• 2 tsp. lemon juice
• 1/4 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese or mild Cheddar
• 1/4 c. fresh bread crumbs
• 1/2 c. (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Butter a baking dish, large enough so fish just slightly overlaps. Preheat
oven to 400 F. Spread green onions and mushrooms over the bottom of the dish
and place fish over top. Season with salt, pepper and marjoram. Sprinkle
with wine, lemon juice, cheese and bread crumbs. Drizzle melted butter over
the crumbs. Bake for 4 minutes, then loosely place foil over fillets; do not
seal the edges. Bake an additional 7 minutes or until fish is done.
Polarized Sunglasses when fishing or boating
If you wear polarized sunglasses while fishing you will definitely catch
more fish especially bass. In rivers and streams it is very important to use
polarized sunglasses. Polarized Sunglasses cut through the glare created by
the sun and allow you to see into the water. You can see under water
structure like logs, rocks, and tree limbs. This gives you a better chance
as a bass fisherman. When it comes to polarized sunglasses buy a good pair
it is best to buy real glass lenses .
If you buy cheap sunglasses they can cause eye strain and the plastic
polarized lenses will break. Do not make this mistake trying to save a few
bucks, good polarized sunglasses are the way to go. Whether you spend your
time fishing, or boating, snow skiing polarized sunglasses are a great
purchase. Real polarized sunglasses will come with a tag on the lenses that
they are polarized. Light reflected from the water surfaces or smooth water
is horizontally polarized.
This horizontally polarized light is blocked by the vertically
oriented polarizer in the lenses. The glare from the water produces
eyestrain, and can caused you to squint which can lead to a headache.
Regular sunglass tinting alone can not cure this problem of glare from the
water's surface.
Polarized sunglasses absorb the reflected glare and pass the safer light
to your eyes which helps you see more fish and structure under the surface.
You should use bands to slide on the sunglasses so you don't loose them over
board.
Fishermen when they first start bass fishing without polarized lenses can
not make out the structure under the water's surface. When they start using
polarized sunglasses and they cannot believe the difference. When they start
wearing the Ray ban polarized sunglasses they could actually see the bass
under the water. They can make out the bass swimming near rocks or trees
that were under the surface of the water.
