Shiner crisis in 2nd week now!
Weather, lake conditions (mud), and basically a topsy turvy lake has kept minnow boats from catching shiners.


I haven't been to the lake for a couple weeks, it must be a mess on the western end. I am wanting to go fishing this week. Can anyone tell me where the cleanest water is on the west end of the lake? And what bait works best other than emerald shiners? I have never fished for perch with anything else on Erie. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
