Bass on Erie

[Radnine]

Okay, this is my first report on OFC and I am extremely nervous, so be gentle.

A buddy and I made it out to Lake Erie yesterday, as for the first time in a while the wind gods were smiling on us.

We had a great day that started at 6:00AM to make it to Port Maitland by 6:45. When we arrived at the boat ramp we were slated #8 for departure. The procedure went as slick as a Weasel's privates and we were on the water in no time.

After searching for a bit we found the desired secret location (follow the twenty other boats) and quickly Gary grabbed this 3 1/2 lb. beauty. He was using a greenish Yum Dinger with black and red specks that was Texas rigged weightless.

A short time later I got this 4 1/2 pounder (the picture doesn't do it or me any justice). I was using a Berkley 6" Gulp worm with a twisty tail in pumpkinseed, regular worm rigged. What a fight, magic!

Then we moved around a bit and I nabbed this 2 pounder on a wacky rigged (with O ring) GRN PMP/CHART Yum Dinger

We had a lovely visit from the OPP and everyone that we met on the water and at the ramp were extremely friendly.

Good going on the smallies. It's nice when the lake co-operates.
