Lake Erie - Port Dover area

[bassman]

Hey gang,

 

I'm hooking up with a buddy that has a cottage right on the Lake Erie in Port Dover.

I'm familiar with the SMB fishing in the Port Colborne area, and I was wondering if I can expect the same type of action or structure in the Port Dover/Turkey Point/Long Point area. I'm not looking for GPS coordinates, just some general tips or areas to start.

I'm thinking of dropshotting for SMB's, but I'm open to suggestions.

 

Cheers!

cant go wrong with tubes on erie

your not far from nanticoke if you want to try the outflow. pottohawk is within reach on a good day. fish the main channel with leeches or minnows, find some shoals or rockpiles and hit them with spinnerbiats and such. i guess the same thing as port colborne, you just have to find the structure on a chart or fishfinder.

good luck

Thanks guys. Much appreciated!

Try fishing the north shore (Dover west to Normandale) in about 20 feet of water. Might be worth a shot. They were getting the smallies there a week or two ago. And yes, tubes are probably the best option.
