i used to fish gordon park a lot mostly for perch always did good there in a boat just always felt wary of that place and wondered if my truck and trailer would be in one piece when we got in with my family .i moved father east now mostly fish geneva when the weather is warm july. august 70 to 75 ft water very nice state marina and family friendly few boats .big fish but long runs 10 miles out is normal head west if you want the fish now turtle creek area is always hot now but plenty of company i get all i want in the summer months but once i get out there this year it will be all day trips not the 4 hour runs because of fuel costs i will help you any way i can i know a little about trolling mostly dispsy with stinger spoons we feel our freezer every year and donate quite a few to charity groups . if you are fishing from shore only. your chances of consistantly pulling fish are slim and losing tackle is the norm good luck. becareful .if you catch the erie bug its almost incureable i spend way to much money on my addiction to lake erie waters .good luck my friend
