Hello everyone. Welcome back. Lake Erie is alive and well. From the islands to Ashtabula fishing is as good as it gets. No matter what port you leave from. Pick your program that you like to run. Most fish are staying within 5 miles of the shoreline so no long runs are needed. Blue Dolphin has PRIME DATES available NOW!
Run bandits 40′ to 100′ back. Jet 40 with Michigan stinger spoons 25′ to 60′ back. Dipseys 30′, 40′ and 50′ back on settings 3,2 and 1. Worm harnesses 2-ounce and 3-ounce 60′ back at about 1.5. Use your Lowrance electronics to find them and let her rip.
It’s about as much fun as you can have catching. Good luck and see ya next week!
