I must have missed somthing. When did Lake Erie become, in any way, a difficult or struggling Smallmouth fishery? I'm told that clearing water, ample supply of forage and high fertility make for a killer Bass factory and that's what Erie is. It's also a walleye factory and probably a Sheepie factory as well. Now killjoys want to restrict fishing access in a thriving fishery just like they do here. Better to lower creel limits across the Great Lakes region and then hire agents to enforce it. The catch and keep crowd are virtually always the problem at least as far as anglers are concerned.
