Fishing reports

[Water Dog]

Just my two cents. It’s comical that many reports are so vague on where they are fishing. Erie is a big lake so next time you post leave a few land marks or even a few can letters. Believe me when I say the fish aren’t always there the next day but does give a good starting point. Always thought that this site was about that. Goodluck to all.

It is true, some new poster are still learning how to post a good report. Most reports need the area fished, depth of water, type of fish caught and any firing range cans (Camp Perry) reefs and any other markers to help get you to the spot. And what type of lure, bait, color and anything else to describe your successful trip. Be patient with others while they learn how to do this so this community can educate and grow the next generation of fisher people.

I was responding to the original poster....

Yes, that's correct, but it gives a general area. They are still able to use their own fish finders to mark fish and start wherever they want. There are fish all over the place right now.

Post like his, just makes me want to share less.

Capt Juls , keep sharing and keep helping the fishing community. Your post are fine.
Share what you can when you can to the extent that you can.
Bless you and be safe,

Capt Juls,
Don't stop posting because of a few people. Your posts are both entertaining as well as informative !
You are much appreciated !!!!

Unfortunately their are some people that expect the rest to catch the fish, clean them and put them in their freezer for them ! Been that way as long as I have been on the lake and that is well over 60 years. You learn to tune those types out of your mind...

In my (admittedly limited) experience, the fish don't stay at the same waypoint from one hour to the next, much less from day to day or week to week. In fact, some people fishing right next to me get a fast limit while I'm out there all day, and vice versa. There are a lot more variables than GPS numbers. Even if every last detail were posted here, who could replicate it at a later date? To be a fisherman is to learn the lake and the target species and your equipment and respond to conditions on the fly. And that's where the posts here are so valuable. Keep those reports coming!
