Went out Saturday evening to the New Brighton Dam, since Erie was a bust. Went with my father-in-law, we started about 6:30 quit about 8:30. Between the two of us we caught about 40 - 45 sauger, walleye, and perch. Not a bad opening day.

Where you fishing from boat or shore? I used to go there all the time. Haven't been there in about 5 years. I would always catch walleye/sauger/smallmouth on minnows and jigs. Might have to take a trip down there.

Do you eat the walleye out of there? Are there any warnings? Just wondering because I've always wanted to give it a try since its fairly close to home. Thanks.

Meehan...got'em all from shore. My father in law has a 16' aluminum boat we take up to the dam every now and then.
Went again tonite. Another 40-50 between 2 of us in about 2 hours. Fun, Fun, Fun.

ShutupNfish- I'll eat a few of the walleye out of this river. The warnings are for fish that bottom feed primarily like cats. My opinion this area is becoming a good fishery. Stripers, musky, northerns are becoming plentiful. If you want to know where to go PM me.
