I had my first experience out on Erie early this year, and was so impressed, not only by the fishing, but also the people... and how nice everyone was. So many guys talked about how fun the early spring jigging bite was.

??? Where to get started. Not looking for spots, but a little help with the thought process of do you have to look to the rivers mouths, or some of the areas west of the islands? This is an all different body of water for me, so hoping to learn a little, and make it out for a couple days mid-April.

I'll soak up any conversation you guys are willing to share. I already know to look carefully at the weather, as I'll be in a small boat (17') compared to most.
