Two army/air force veterans need your advice

[Herb S]

A fellow Vet friend and I are planning kind of a "Bucket List" fishing trip to the western basin of Lake Erie next week. (May24-26) The last time my friend Bill fished Erie was 70 years ago with his dad. The last time for me was before the coming of the Zebra Mussel and Gobie. Bill will be driving to Erie from Arlington, VA, I am driving up from Cincinnati. For the distance Bill is driving, I'm hoping to make sure we catch some fish. While I have a lot of lures collected through the years, we'll need advice on which "Bandits" might work best and where abouts we might start our search for walleye, smallmouth and perch. I understand that channel 79 works best for marine band communication, my boat's call sign is "The Last Hurrah" it is a Tracker Targa 17. If you see us say hello.

We will enter Lake Erie via the Portage River next door to Port Clinton
