My first outing on Erie

Not sure how big your boat is and how many and type of rod holders you have but the fish seem to be in transition now from the crank/jig bite to a spoon/harness bite. So any of those lures could be catching next week when you fish. Not sure how many lines you feel comfortable using, but if you have any inline boards, I would run 2-4 boards. I would run bandits on one side and spoons on the other side and let the fish tell you what they want. Soon you could be running dipsey divers too, if you have them and run spoons or harnesses off them. Make sure you can run from 1.8-2.2mph next week and vary speed between those numbers to find out what the catching speed is.There should be plenty of boats out by next week, so you can spot the packs and see if anyone is catching. Memorial weekend usually a zoo out on water, so good luck.

Thanks for the info I'll keep that in mind. Haven't a lot of experience with boards but have ran them once or twice so hopefully have successful trip with them. I plan on having harnesses aboard the boat so we can switch to those if needed.
