Headin to the BIGWATER

Not a seasoned veteran. Fairly new to lake Erie fishing myself. But since nobody has posted a response yet, I'd be happy to offer some basic knowledge. 3/4 oz or 1 oz purple hair jigs tipped with minnows. (Purple seems to be their favorite color, take others as well though. Chartreuse, green, black, pink) Start in shallower water, 7-15 feet over in front of wild wings. If you're not having a lot of luck there, move a little deeper 17-25 feet. Drop it to the bottom or give it a little cast. Presentation is key. Sometimes they want a fast jerk with a slow drop, slow lift, fast drop. Try all different combinations til u find one that's working. Good luck

Matt, learning site more… clicked over to your photos… impressive. In addition to the walleyes, and cool looking boat, that cooler full of perch looks like a great fish fry waiting to happen. Anyone get into those this time of the year, on the west side? If I make the trip late next week as planned, I'll be solo, and fishing sun up to down to make the most of it. Love to mix it up a bit.

It would be irresponsible of all of us to let a person who is unfamiliar with the lake go out there on his own. Don't worry guys, I'll go with him.

Cycleguy, not really any perching going on right now that I know of. Check your messages on here.
