Steelie Help ....Spoontang ???
Hey Spoontang,
You seem to be really knowledgeable about Lake Erie's steelhead fisherie. I'm trying to learn more about it. This is my second year fishing Erie, I used to fish mostly up on Lake Michigan for Salmon and Steelhead. Last year I learned alot about trolling for walleye by reading your posts. I think that I've got the gear (downriggers, in line boards, dipsies, etc.) but I don't know where to go, when to go, or what lures to use to pick up a mixed bag of walleye and steelhead. I've heard that the steelhead bite starts to pick up around July/Aug and occurs more in the central basin than over in the west. I live over near Cleveland. I've got a 24' Boston Whaler Outrage that is trailerable, so I can go to the fish.
What advise can you give me?
Thanks.......
