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
