I joined last year but have been reading posts for several years. I live a six hour drive away in PA. and appreciate being able to get current fishing information before I make the trip. I grew up in Independence, OH and fished Lake Erie with my father and brother. Years ago, my father charted in the Western basin. Any old-timers out there remember Ted Zelazny, the POLISH EAGLE ? Both my father and brother have died, but I inherited my brothers' boat (POLISH EAGLE II). I am committed to fishing Lake Erie (is there any other lake ?) three or four times a year. Those of you who live closer and fish there more often are fortunate......no matter what the fishing is like. Thanks for the help!....boats' new name..POLISH EAGLE II 1/2
