steve i did not fish erie till around the early 70s but still remember sitting on boat eating bologna sandwich with a big slice of onion and a cold beer and doubles all day long just off the intake and 1 mile off channel gas was cheap and we gave fish to all our family and friends. now we fish as much as we can seems the weather wont cooperate and the fish just cant spawn in the rough windy weather in the spring need a couple 2003s to fill the lake back up with walleye and perch
