A buddy and I are going to be on Erie on the above dates. Any tips on what to bring as far as baits?

Thanks

I forgot to mention that we are staying at the East Harbor State Park

We will be fishing for walleye and smallmouth. Catch and release on smallmouth.

At that time the crawler harness bite should be full-on. You'll need bottom bouncers, crawler harnesses, and a flat of crawlers to pin on the harness. I don't fish smallies much, but I would presume various topwater and cranks will get you smallies around most of the islands. Check with Happy Hooker Bait Shop out on Rte. 2 or any of the several bait shops in Port Clinton for up-to-date info. And of course stay tuned to this sight. Lot of good fishermen here, and they're pretty free with the local information.

I thank you for the info. I plan on posting our results on here. We are going to take a counter with us so we have accurate numbers. My buddy showed me this board the other day and I have found that it is full of information.

Thanks again.

As mentioned, bouncers and flipping harnesses will get you plenty of eyes. Smallies, throw tubes on the reefs and around the islands.
