Just got back from Erie yesterday. Was supposed to fish fri-tues morn but due to weather couldn't get on water Fri or Sat. Sunday was great weather wise and Monday not bad but NE winds did pickup in afternoon. Couldn't fish reef area way to much mud. We did well trolling north bass as well as se of Kellys and east of Middle bass. Nothing over 30" this trip but had decent action all around. Tried hitting Maumee bay up on way out tuesday morning but way to much wind in that chocolate milk to do anything. Will be back hopefully in fall!
thanks for tips Budman, purples worked great for us back in March also, never made it out of the can area. Will probably work mouse if clean enough but probably more north or east of kelly with what I expect water to be. And that pic looks way better than the one from Monday actually!
Sorry to hear Budman! Thats who almost every April trip I've every had "planned" to Erie has went! Me and 4 other guys supposed to be fishing Fri-Mon and now Friday is majorly suspect and saturday looking unfishable! Might still try friday knowing we will be sitting around on sat. Problem is the saturday blow is gonna really muck up the area for sunday monday i suspect. Oh erie how you torture us out o towners!
We had 14mph winds yesterday in a boat the same size and we were plenty fine a little rough but easily doable.. wind direction is more important east is the worst from what I hear..I think 15-20 would really be pushing it but if its south or west wind...east winds of 10 plus would probably be unbearable.. we are not fishing today bc of 25mph winds
