Most of the water temp drop occurs after a blow when the big waves mix the cooler bottom water with the surface water.The cooler air temps will also cool it down some too.But the water temps have...

Thanks for post.Too bad you ran out of minnows.I have heard that some guys will use the perch belly meat to put on hooks to catch perch.I have never tried it but some guys say works in a pinch .

But there are fish around those nets if you can figure out a way to troll near them without getting your gear stuck in them.

There have been nets NE of Kelly's for past month .All the way to the line by old C can

We made the long run to Lorain this past Friday and Saturday. The lake was flat both days and the only reason we did it twice, was John's friend Terry could only fish Saturday. We did some scouting...

Hi way bait has live Goldie's and frozen shiners today.

The further east or north you go,away from shallow water where grass grows, the less grass you have.If you use inline boards the grass will accumulate on the board and usually not run down the...

It's definitely easier to drift fish than get all the gear necessary to try trolling. The more you fish the better you will become with learning locations and terminology here on this website. Most...

Can really speed up the learning curve by booking a trip with a charter captain.They can really help you learn about fishing locations and the gear to fish with.Do you have a preference to cast or...

Just had a whopper of a storm come through Parma.Wind at leading edge close to 60 mph.Weather bouy had 50 knots wind gust.Would not want to be on the lake in that kind of wind.

We have a lake house on Catawba on the water and one evening some 25 yrs ago was watching a boat collecting minnows not far offshore after sunset.The guy collecting the minnows was the senior Al from...

We fished Thursday August 1st with John around the weather bouy.Got our 12/25lbs but took 6hrs.Started north of old C can, where we caught our 18/38 lbs the week before, but only caught 1 keeper on...

If caught in storms with high wind motor slowly into wind.Never hide in cabin and let boat drift sideways.

Depending on the size of your boat,the wind in storms can swamp a boat too. If you see a long line of storms approaching with a bow shape to it,that can have extremely high winds on leading edge.The...

Best advice is to run for your ramp or dock as has been the custom for decades on Erie.Now you can watch radar on your phone and might avoid the lightning by running a direction that the storms might...

Thanks for the post and congrats on a couple great fishing days ...minus that bat encounter.

Thanks GoBucks.When out last time could not get the harnesses on our boards to catch.Didnt go slow enough or try Colorado blades like you did successfully.

Thanks for the post.Was your speed 2.0mph?
Also were your harness blades Colorado or Willow...and color?

We run Rapala J7 and flicker shad lures on our dipsies.They sometimes work really well. Seams the smaller cranks work better later in the summer when the water warms and the fish are smaller.

Crib reef is an important reef to know about.It is probably the only area west of the islands where you can hit bottom.So any time running in the area of Crib, make sure you go around it.Crib is...

Thanks for the heads up on that chart of western Erie.Nice to have on my phone now too.

Crib reef is just a couple miles west of Niagara reef.

John and I fished Friday. Forecast called for winds out of the NE overnight and through the morning. I told John we would be running right into NE rollers on the run out. But he bet me the "usual" $1...

Thanks for post and good day casting. Reeling in 24" walleye casting is a reel treat.Congrats.

John was supposed to fish with a buddy earlier in the week but the remnant of the hurricane busted up that deal.Only possibly of fishing was Friday if weather and his Buddy Terry could join us.The...
