Back in the 80's as a kid my family always spent 2 weeks at Kelleys Island. We drifted Earie Dearie's every day and caught many limits. My Uncle was friends with Dan that created the Earie Dearie and we rarely ever had to buy any.. Still have some in the original package. Great video.
In the 80s, we didn't have the fancy trolling motors that we have now, so drifting was far more common, and this bait is perfect for drifting. Still a great bait today!
I fish Bass Haven in Ontario (NE corner of Lake St. Clair) during the late spring walleye run and I use their 14ft rental boats. I only use Erie Dearie's up there drifting and get my fair share of eyes every season.
That is my point exactly, my friend! The Erie Dearie is an underrated, and underutilized tool, that most Walleye anglers should have in their arsenal. Thanks for watching and commenting! God bless!
I keep erie dearie in the box. Drift and cast em when nothing else is working. You're right, they do not discriminate. Drum, white bass and walleye last week. Wife got her first Lake Erie eye on a green and white one last week. Always carry an assorted dozen.
I just bought one of every color available at my local tackle shop in Cleveland. I have always had fantastic luck with these, both off shore and from shore. I plan on doing some shore fishing at the old coast guard station next to port Cleveland today, I can’t wait .. I plan on tossing a night crawler trailer on and seeing what happens
New to fishing. Would love to find some locals to fish with around here. I guess i just have to keep going out there and just sit there with my rod not catch anything until i find someone who knows what is up.
@@MrRaja I have seen multiple examples of guys who posted that they are looking for guys to fish with, and they found partners. I even found a tournament partner that way, many years ago, long before FB.
Team Jesus. You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing tips and tricks to catch these Lake Erie walleyes and drum for that matter. You guys seem to know what they want and where they are at. God Bless you brother. Big fan of your channel. Adrian
Thank you, my Brother, for the kind words. Probably much like yourself, I love fishing and creating fishing videos, so I make every effort to produce the best videos that I can. It is my desire, that I can point a few men in the direction of Jesus Christ, in the process. Thanks again for your support!
Great video, thanks for the advice! I'm new to the Lake and we're trying to figure out how to drift for walleye. We've tried jigheads and crawler harnesses so far, with only moderate success.
There are so many videos on UA-cam about trolling. I love FISHING for Walleye and there's not many videos on casting for lake Erie Walleye. My experience with Erie Dearis has been less than par. One time I was out fished by them as I was casting crawler harnesses and I didn't have any. Other times I've tried them for about 15-20 minutes here and there with no success so I went back to the crawler harness and picked up 3-6 eyes on those days drifting. Jesus Loves Man. Thanks for sharing that.
I find a semi swift sweeping motion to the side and letting it fall (like side ways jigging) works really well for me.. they will always hit on the drop so when you pull it there will be a walleye on.
@@TeamJesusOutdoors I had a Crestliner tiller a few years ago, then decided I wanted to spend more time on Lake Erie, so I opted for a walkthrough with windshield. Big fan of the Pro Tiller, though.
I love the open floor plan and all of the space that a big tiller offers, but I get a bit sick of getting soaked in the cold and wind. I don't like full windshields, but my next boat will probably be another side console.
Hey man great video! Question.. what is your best recommendation for size of the Erie derie? I usually go 3/4 ounce but some people say 1 or less. Also do you rig your Erie directly to braided line or weight plus a leader? Thanks keep up the good content
I hear that from many guys. It was much the same for me. I used them alot back in the 90's, then kinda got away from it, but a couple of years ago, I said, what the heck lets give these a try...lol
Nice video! I have a 16ft smokercraft with a 18HP. Looking go make a trip over there from PA. Looking for some advice on boat ramps that would get me close to the action but not to far from shore. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
Well, after the whole Virus craziest is over, I would say the Lake Erie MetroPark is probably your best bet. It is currently closed due to Governor's orders.
i really like your boat. i have a 16.8 tracker SC atm with a 9.9. I could get a 60hp and have a 9.9 as my kicker but the price to do that is almost as much as i spent on the boat. I would almost be better off getting a larger boat made for kickers. Could you have a tiller with a 9.9 kicker for trolling etc? Or is that kind of boat not really made for it?

I’ve been catching walleye with the Erie dearie around Geneva.
Trolling it? casting it? Or drifting it?
@@TeamJesusOutdoors I’m fishing from a sailboat. So casting mostly. Can drift tho.
@@TeamJesusOutdoors where do you fish out of?
If fishing Erie, then either Sterling State park or Boles harbor
@@TeamJesusOutdoors is that west or east of Geneva?

Last year om Memorial day on a 1oz. Gold Erie dearie I caught a fish Ohio walleye
We're you drifting, trolling or casting them?
@@TeamJesusOutdoors casting I counted down to the bottom and slow retrieve
That's the most fun way to catch fish on em!
@@TeamJesusOutdoors especially when you are using 6lb. test Trilene xl
Think the nightcrawlers are good for small walleyes 17 to 20 inches
I've caught big eyes on Crawlers too, but we typically use them in Summer and early Fall, when Erie walleye just run smaller in Western basin.

Great info sir!... I’m a tin boat guy so any tips for little boat catching is always accepted 👊👊☝️
Thanks for your support, my friend. I hope this helps you out! Tight lines
Great video. Do you use a full crawler or half? Also, do you thread it or just hook it a couple of times?
✝️
I always thread it on the hook. Sometimes I pinch off the excess. Thanks for supporting TJO!
Were ca you get themm now?????😢
Andy's tackle has a good selection of them, in Melvindale. I see them here and there, still.

I've never tried them from shore, but makes sense to me!
Love this video. I grew up fishing with the dearie. This video takes me back. What's that song playing around the 4:10 mark?
Not vfc sure what song that was. It was from a Monroe radio station that plays Gospel music on Sunday mornings. Thanks, my friend!
Great video me and dad used to fish Erie dearies out of aluminum 16 foot rental 3 foot waves only caught drum
Those baits will catch anything that swims out there! LOL
Nice
Thanks
Great informations
Thanks Man! And thanks for supporting Team Jesus Outdoors!

Have you tried posting on Facebook boards? Lots of anglers find fishing pals that way.
@@TeamJesusOutdoors i joined all of the wny fishing groups. Let's see if something happens. Thanks for the tip.

Erie Dearies are perfect for drifting. I plan to do another Erie Dearie video this summer with both casting and drifting them.

Thanks for the kind words. You may try drifting them, rather than casting, just because you can cover so much more water.
@@TeamJesusOutdoors thanks. We we're drifting and casting off the boat. ⛵
I find a semi swift sweeping motion to the side and letting it fall (like side ways jigging) works really well for me.. they will always hit on the drop so when you pull it there will be a walleye on.
Makes sense to me
Can you cast an Erie Dearie from a pier?
I have a couple of friends who do. I just don;t really do any pier fishing myself, or at least I haven't in a long time.
What depths are you fishing them and can they be fished down to 30 ft? Bottom bouncer or something?
That was mid summer fishing, and we were fishing on and near bottom in 20 plus FOW
Is your boat a Pro Tiller?
Yes Sir, an 1850
@@TeamJesusOutdoors very nice!
Thanks friend! It's not perfect for everything I like to do, but it definitely gets the job done!

Been getting lots of questions about walleye trolling, lake Erie
Hey man great video! Question.. what is your best recommendation for size of the Erie derie? I usually go 3/4 ounce but some people say 1 or less. Also do you rig your Erie directly to braided line or weight plus a leader? Thanks keep up the good content
I typically run a leader of flourocarbon or mono. 1 carry all sizes, but use 3/4 or an ounce most of the time, and 3/8 less frequently.
I remember using these when I was a kid but haven't used them in many years.... Thanks for sharing and God Bless
I hear that from many guys. It was much the same for me. I used them alot back in the 90's, then kinda got away from it, but a couple of years ago, I said, what the heck lets give these a try...lol

I have caught I nice 6 pound pike on Erie dearie worked for me
Yep, anything that swims, will eat it
Can you use these for pike?
Absolutely. They catch everything that swims. Although I have never targeted pike with them. Thanks for watching and supporting TJO!
i really like your boat. i have a 16.8 tracker SC atm with a 9.9. I could get a 60hp and have a 9.9 as my kicker but the price to do that is almost as much as i spent on the boat. I would almost be better off getting a larger boat made for kickers. Could you have a tiller with a 9.9 kicker for trolling etc? Or is that kind of boat not really made for it?
You can add a kicker to a tiller rig, but there isn't much need to. You would be better off installing a big electric Minn Kota on back, instead.
You have to be cautious about upgrading outboards, because you most often won't get a return on your investment.
What's your favorite color of erie derie?
Chartruese
I fish Lake Erie from Sandusky in Ohio. Where are you located at?
I live in Metro Detroit, and fish out of Sterling State park or Boles Harbor, most often, when I am on Erie.
