Lake Erie rookie looking for help!!

[Centralohio112]

Hey madd Matt I am curious if you have any new insight for me. I plan on leaving central Ohio area around 5a and be there around 7ish. Will rikards be open then and will they also carry the perch rigs. From what I am reading looks like awesome temps and from what I read the waves sounds like 1" or less. Your previous post for me was very informative do have anything new

I apologize for not seeing this. I wasn't online last night. If you haven't figured it out yet, there are perch between the islands. The last couple days have been really rough and no one that I know of has fished until today. If I was going out I'd be going between the Islands, probably closer to South Bass and watch for the packs of boats... I don't typically fish a pack, but get close and see what kind of marks you have. When no one has fished and there aren't any reports for a couple days it is tough to find them.

East Harbor is still doing well with large mouth bass! get inside the channel and fish as close to the rocks as you can.
