Billy Bob Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Morning boys and girls....... Just as I thought....Lake Erie was angry yesterday morning... .....2-3 footers so we never launched the boat at the Catt....fired up my trusty Tundra truck and headed southwest for another 40 miles or so...to Chautauqua Lake which means bag tied in the middle by our natives here...... Bing Bang Boom at my favorite secret spot #1....never lifted the anchor even once.....over 100 crappies, and about the same amount of Bluegills/Pumkinseeds were also caught, however MOST of the crappies didn't make the mandatory 9 inches so they were released for another time.....LOTS of 8.5 and 8.75" fish... But we did catch 18 keepers.....several largemouth and my buddy John got one nice smallmouth pushing the 4 lb mark.....I had on a bluegill and a small musky around 3.5' came up and grabbed it and swam around with it for a awhile before releasing it.... ....not much you can do with a musky on a light rod with 4# test...LOL Hope the rest of you good fishing folks nail them today and tomorrow.... Keep your lines tight, Bob....not Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 BB Nice batch of fish!!! :good: But Erie was very angry? At 2-3 feet I would say she may have been mildly annoyed not angry and certainly not very angry. :tease: Angry is 4-6 and very angry is anything over 6.

DRIFTER_016 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) You should been with us the time we sailed across the North Sea in 75 foot waves Dave. Now THAT was angry Did you cross it in an open 18' aluminum boat? If you ever see 75 footers on Erie say goodbye to your loved ones and make peace with your god because the world will have bigger problems than just some Erie waves!!!!!

Billy Bob Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Did you cross it in an open 18' aluminum boat? Or a 16' open Grumman......either way anything over 30 foot is rocken and rollen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
