Only problem is, I am one of the few guys from Eastern Lake Erie. If anybody here would like to be a part of the group--let me know!

Also I have a couple questions for you....

1. What are the new baitfish restrictions? I thought I had hear they were going to be allowing transportation over land in selected "corridors" along the Eastern edge of Lake Erie. Is this true? I can't find much on it.

2. What are your preferred baitshops in the area near the small boat harbor and Sturgeon Point? Are some better than others? I'd like to get your opinions.

Thanks,

Matt








Hey Matt I would be interested on the radio deal, anything to help out the fishing bro's we did this type of stuff in the keys all the time. We used to swap cell numbers and send text out on the water. Captains we really open sharing info down there to everyone. My email is [email protected] just put walleye in the subject line so I know it is not junk mail or you can send me a message here and we can swap info. I am still trying to figure this freshwater thing out, my salty blood has to remember to scale things down a bit and remember trophy fish in the lakes are bait fish in the keys. Haha! But I was as stoked to catch those walleye last night or the 25 12" perch I caught off the catt last year as I was last month catching a 15' hammerhead or a 54" dolphin(or mahi mahi, the northern name). I love this lake!

Bait shops, if you want night crawlers go to Weekley's in hamburg on Big Tree Rd, it is a worm farm not a bait shop, it looks like a house but there is a sign in the front just drive to the back where the big garage is. The best crawlers around for the price. I usally go to the the bait shop in derby if I am going to Sturgon or the Catt for minnows, i think it is called daves. The guy that owns it, and I believe works the place, he is always a good source of info and a very nice gentleman. I did buy minnows at the small boat harbor last year and was pleased. I spoted a place in Angola but New Era, I have not stopped in yet but I plan on it, to see what the place is about. There is the water wizard on rt 5 but hamburg beach. I am not sure if he sells bait anymore, but if you are looking for a custom rod or need a rod or reel repair the guy knows what he is doing, and is honest, if it is not fixable he will let you know it is not worth fixing. Fixed one salt water rods a few years ago and did an amazing job.


Hope this helps bro! Get ahold of me.
