Jager Bomb, Flo Nascar, Sir Walleye, Mixed Veggies. In the western basin it's scorpion spoons: 2 1/4 inch. West of Green tomorrow.
I have fished both Erie in the western basin and the Dunkirk area in the eastern basin, but mostly fish Lake Ontario, as per your statement about the Uv inhibitors, I don't think the waters are deep enough in the shallows of the western basin. It does work once you get down over 50ft or more I have run spoons of the same over 200ft down 60-90ft and the spoons I sprayed UV Blast, your lure will flash in water where UV light, but not visible light penetrates. Research shows that fish see and are attracted to UV light the spoons I sprayed get twice the action the ones I didn't spray. I have used UV Blast in the Dunkirk ares with good results as we are 50/60ft down there also. I think it helps but that's imo.
