Read post on OGF that Huron ramp open to lake but have not seen post of anybody going fishing yet.Have not heard word of any other ramp open yet.

GREAT ! I looked at the lake erie web cam for Huron and it was open water also it won't be long now maybe a couple of weeks . I also ordered some bandits from a local bait shop and a couple more Daiwa wilderness trolling rods they also had the Daiwa trolling reels so that should get us going set and up with 4 rigs and a good selection of crank baits .

We use cross lock snaps with cranks but use swivels on spoons and harnesses.

IMHO swivels interfere with the action of crank baits but swivels help prevent line twist if spoons or harnesses role. Also we find a higher hook up ratio on spoons when they are on swivels.

I had 73 yesterday south of Columbus when I left for the lake. It was 35 when I got to Marblehead.

Verry foggy today.

Thanks this article above from precision trolling shows how to calibrate your reel for accurate depths. I am so glad you gave the recomendation to view , I was just about to spool up my line and would have made the mistake of cutting off the spool before calibrating .
I also down loaded the precision trolling guide and from what I have seen and read it looks like its probably one of the least expensive but very important addition so far to the trolling world .

Report shows water temp off Toledo is 37 degrees and the Maumee River run has begun with limits being had by a few brave Cold water anglers ,I looked at the Huron River lake erie cam and watched as a boat made its way back in has any body on the west end been out yet ?

Yeah I watched a few boats head out Huron yesterday.Nobody posted fishing except a post on 10 trailers in the lot.Do not think any other ramps open yet.Still too much ice west of islands.
