Lake Erie Wednesday, June25th, On the Redneck, Fished from Stoney Point out to Sputnik between 8am-2pm. Started with mini discs and spoons, running confusion, shrimp, lady bug, and kervorkians with little luck other than sheephead at various depths and speeds. Switched to 3 oz BB around 12 noon 20ft down to bumping bottom when we strated to pick a few up on purple & purple/chartreuse harnesses. Landed 6 walleye 4 were keepers 2-3lb range, and 2 were 6", 2007 year class walleye. A good sign to see little ones being caught again. Fish flies are making it tough.     John N
