Nice work Cap't! I just finished up a 9-day "staycation" where I was able to hit Erie 4 times. I tried harnesses the first day, but we were catching mostly 14-17" fish, with lots of junk mixed in. We switched over to Bandits (my baits) and we did much better. The size increased dramatically and the junk went away. Best leads were 45-75 in 24-28 FOW, speeds were 2.1 to 2.5.

Yesterday, we had 6 or 7 fish over 4 lbs, including one that went 27". I lost 5 or 6 that felt even larger. We tried spoons a couple times over those 4 trips and caught fish, but the cranks were definitely producing much larger fish.

Pair-a-dice Chrome, Fermi Chrome (thanks for suggesting that I do that one in chrome), Purple and Black Chrome and Sweet Thang Orange were all really good.
