First trip of the year

[tbiser]

Locust reef or stay in the bay is best this time of year. I hope the weather holds out for you.

Probably going to launch at lamberjack's or wild wings, but I am flexible. Looking like weather is going to kill us on friday, so a day spent in the hotel. Hopefully Saturday holds for us. Long trip to just sit in the hotel.

weather report is looking up for the weekend wind on friday not good but sat and possibly sunday looks very promising! anyone with a new report on the fish would be good. what depth of water were they catching them in near the turtle reef?

Good Luck guys!!

Thanks for the info. Would the bay be calmer with those wind conditions?

Only fished Erie a couple of years and I usually go out of Wild Wings area and fish reefs. what is the "pear" you guys speak of?sounds like it is in the western bay area? Do you mean Pier? just curious. Never fished that area.

thanks guys
