Ok I’ve tried about everything. Crackers,panko,shore lunch, bass pro, flour/corn starch etc.
i’m looking for a light crispy batter like what you would get at a restaurant where you buy into it and it’s really crunchy Fish n chips style….
Can anyone help me out? I assume it’s a wet batter what I’m looking for but haven’t got a good recipe.

Thanks.

Now that the holidays are over, here we are into the long boring stretch waiting for spring fishing to begin. Booooring time for me and others, so what do you all do to get thru this time of year ?

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Year. Good luck fishing in the new year, fish on everyone!

Took a break from perch searching and trolled out of Huron, caught some tanks in 30-36 fow in front of the castle yesterday. Fruit dots bandit 70′ back and Floyd p10 on downrigger 25′ back then 15′ down caught the big fish. Fished from 1.30-5.30 ended with 10.
Wind was ripping out of the sw, speed 1.3-3.0. Had to put the top down and open the walk through on my Lund and just steer with the wind, no forward assist. Used the troller for quick adjustments. Small craft advisory, but from the winds from the SW and stayed in close enough we where in 1-2′ and following sea.the
Lots of mud coming out of the river, but cleared up about a mile out. Could see the cavitation plate, but not the prop. It was so windy that we only ran 2 flat lines and 2 downriggers, no boards. Thankfully the wind died by the time we were trailering.

Does anyone know if Mazurak ramp is open? (Ice free)
Thanks Mike

I took a buddy to go after perch this morning: Hi-Way Bait had a note on the door that they are closed for 2 days, Herb’s sign reads that they open at 10 a.m., and Bay’s Edge was not open at 8:15 a.m. I brought along wintergreen alcohol shiners out of the freezer, so we launched at Mazurik and headed to the SE side of Kelley’s. We set up, and the sun came out for a little while, but couldn’t get a bite. So after an hour we got out our rods, boards, Bandits, and Flicker Minnows, and trolled towards Marblehead/Lakeside. We say some spotty marks, and ended up with 4 walleyes before we ran into the sprinkles. Headed on in before 1 p.m.

Nice eaters ranging from 19-22.5 inches, 3 of them were males. We were surprised to see that the docks had been pulled out while we were fishing. Nice part of the day on that part of the lake, very little wind, and very little traffic.

I run a Lowrance HDS12 and heading to Erie this Spring. I’m from the midwest (Iowa) and was wondering which chip everyone prefers on Erie. Obviously, I have to purchase another chip since Erie is not in my region.

Thanks in advance,

I plan to make the trip over to Erie tomorrow and just wondered if anyone has been out recently and what areas are holding walleye. The weather has been so windy this fall that I’ve only made it out a couple times, but tomorrow looks like it will be favorable wind and bearable temps. At this point I plan to head out of Huron and probably check out the Cedar point area maybe 32 to 38 FOW. Any advice is greatly appreciated and I will be happy to post my results.

Headed out this Saturday if anyone wants to work together. We are in brawl but will work together as we want numbers and if we get a big one that’s a bonus. Also safety this time of year. Launching out of Mazuricks most likely
