We started at G can and picked up a couple as has been the case for past 2 weeks the fish would come and go could not hold the schools. We moved to H and picked a few more. We then went to E and picked a dozen fish. Last move was to east of rattlesnake about a mile we started picking fish in flurries and had our best bites between 1 and 3. then they just stopped again. We Ended with 125 fish and 39 pounds at the cleaners. Only a handful of throwbacks. The fish that are biting are all nice size fish in the 9-11 inch range and Fat. Only a couple of farm animals and they were small. No eyes on this trip.

I want to thank all those that post on this site it truly has helped me since moving back to the area a few years ago.

Friday Sept 22nd
Fished with 5 Seasoned veteran western lake Erie Captains. Over 100 years of Experience. What and Honor and a Privilege to be asked to go along. We were with Capt Jerry on Playing hooky
Capt Rick Capt Gary Capt Jim Capt Ray Have taken me under their wing and are trying to teach me the Lake. I am so thankful to these captains for taking a Hillbilly Googin with them.
We started out front 2.5 miles out of the river and did very well early then the bite died so we moved to the G can area and finished the day with 180 fish 55 pound at the cleaners.
Lay it on the bottom and leave it if it moved or bounced they would not touch it. Used pin emeralds for the best results.

Saturday Sept 23rd Capt Jerry Playing Hooky No wind No Bite when wind would pick up fish would start hitting Inline rig 3 hook skipper 9 style again smaller bait the better the Bite. We got 101 with 35 pound a dozen throw backs and a dozen farm animals. Leave it on the bottom and dont move it. G Can Super hot day and very little wind

Sunday Sept 24th Capt Jerry Playing Hooky Another HOT HOT day did have a little wind and the Marks were awesome from the bottom to 3 foot up lots of fish but very finicky bite very lite with a bunch of misses. If i had caught as many as i missed would have been done early. We ended with 04 and 34.5 pounds at the cleaners.
What a great way to get healed up from the flu i had last week. I truly appreciate this site and all the Captains that share the Knowledge they have about this awesome fishery What a magnificent lake.
