I personally disliked fishing deep ( 20+) feet for smallies or bass in general, just seen too many issues unless they were released very quickly after a catch. I am guessing it was a lack of proper fizzing issues?

Colors can make a difference and it's pretty easy to get a different fall rate.

https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lake_Fork_Frog_Tail_Hook_2pk/descpage-LFTFRHK.html They make a couple of different types of trailer hooks for frogs, never used one myself so read the reviews on them? A lot of top water lures I would rather throw than a frog, bad hookup ratio usually, but in some areas they seemed to be the only thing that would get thru the slop.

I don't think there is one lure to use, although I normally had a rod or two set up with some type of jig and trailer combo on them, location seems to be more of a factor to me. Our club fished a lake in New York annually that was only around 300 acres in size, and most years the winning bag came from the same area.

I caught a 28 inch walleye at Pointe Au Baril one year and it weighed 8 pounds on the camp spring scale, my buddy caught one there too that was just over 31 inches and weighed 9 pounds on the same scale. You could see the difference in the fish though, mine was a normal healthy looking fish, his must have been old or not feeding right because it had a big head and a very slim body.

Yep Brian, home since last Thursday night and glad to be here!

Lake Erie walleye boom’s cause is a mystery, but no one is complaining - cleveland.com Lake Erie walleye parade not slowed by mayfly hatch, hot weather: July 12 Fishing Report - cleveland.com Just info.

Thanks for the well wishes guys, hoping to bust out of this place Wednesday, it has been a learning experience!

Hello all. disappeared due to a sudden hospital stay and I am now in an extended stay rehab - nursing home facility for an unknown period of time. Trying to learn to use a lap top computer, new deal for me and a bit different than my trusty desktop. Hope everyone is well and fishing!

Lake Erie just set a new water level record; ‘catastrophic erosion’ imminent

Sounds like some one is selling a defective product if the required label fades?

LOL, I live in a rural area and have a septic system also, digging a hole for a new one now would be more like digging a pond, as thunder is booming in the background! Luckily all the bad storms have missed my area so far, LOL I am severely disabled, by the time I could make it into my basement I might be in Oz!

Yellowknife, NWT ? Spring is July? Summer August? and everything else is winter?

As I recall reading in the past, a lot of states, like Texas and California owe the size of some their bass to transplanted Florida bass. Also a non native fish.

Cando, I can't picture trying to drive a backhoe across the ground here, my son was able to get most of our grass cut over the weekend, but he said in some parts it was like driving over a wet sponge. It poured again yesterday so hard my rain gutters were overflowing, and the ten day forecast here is showing more rain for 7 of the next 10 days. Hope you get some dry weather!

Belleville Ohio - Bellevue Ohio, LOL John, we have both here in Ohio too.

Well we stayed at cabin on Beaver Lake near Erinsville, a family friend and his family had the cabin right next to ours. I don't believe they ever went to the Bay of Quinte to fish, but I do recall us going to another lake in that general area for a day, Devil's Lake.

The absence of the blue pike and walleye fishing here drove a lot of people from Ohio to Ontario to fish for them, my dad took us to the Kingston - Bellevue area back in 1957 so they could fish for walleye. Even Pointe Au Baril had an Ohio connection, a bunch of people from one or more of the areas businesses had summer homes or cottages there.

I am going to say largemouth, there can be a pretty wide variation in color from lake to lake and even time of year and weed growth, the ones you pull from the junk tend to be colored a bit differently at times from more open water fish. No spotted bass in the waters I have fished here, and most of our inland lakes are predominantly largemouth fisheries, although some have both. On one lake here I had caught two strange looking bass over the years, it was a lake that had both. I called them smallmouth because of their mouth size, but they looked more like this https://www.westernbass.com/forum/unusual-dna-found-big-bass-turns-into-record-catch-t118798.html LOL no where near that size though! about 3 pounds.

Yep, 25 miles due south of Lake Erie, the highway at the end of my road ( state route 83 ) ends at Lake Erie, about a mile from where I used to live in Avon Lake. Another round of severe storms possible for today though, so far everything has missed us!

I am alive! at least I think so? With MS there is a 50/50 chance I could sleep through anything! As near as I can tell from a very brief look at the news the severe weather was around Dayton Ohio, that is a long distance away from me, much closer to Whopper's area, hope he is OK, but thanks for your concern!

Not positive on the rules either, but I tend to view this as general information, with the complaints about shipping costs and selection I have seen over the years more options are better? The affiliate program gives me a much better understanding of some youtube sites.

Oh for sure Akri, that has been the most well known area for them since I was a kid. My dad got a 46 inch pike in there on one of his walleye opener trips, it was probably in there feeding on walleye.
