RangerGuy Posted April 3, 2020 Report Posted April 3, 2020 I am dying to fish Erie, especially now that we are in Comp 205 Tiller! Guess it will have to wait till next year. 2

It is! I went out over a dozen times last season and limited out every trip, usually in 2 hours. PM me if you want details. 1
OhioFisherman Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Posted April 5, 2020 KraTTor, no details needed, thanks though for the offer. That's how it was years ago here, it did take a bit more than a couple of hours at times.
Fish Farmer Posted April 5, 2020 Report Posted April 5, 2020 If I went home after 2-3 hours of fishing I wouldn't bother going. Fishing is a all day thing. I think I'd have to do the catch and release thing.👍😁

With 2 to 3 hours of pulling in wally's on 8/10 colour leadcore I was done.. Lets face it, this is not fun fishing, pulling in these things is like dragging an old boot. But they are damn tasty and worth every bit of effort 😄 2

There's so many Walleye out there now you don't have to troll Just drift or jig for them with a spinning rod, so much more fun and you get your limit. May take you a little longer. Had a buddy out last year that hates trolling, I had to laugh he was using his 13' noodle rod spinning reel drifting, his rod was bent right over almost double, Walleye on, fought it to the boat, was only 2 Lbs.😂 He had a blast.
Terry Posted April 5, 2020 Report Posted April 5, 2020 Dang. I’m gonna have to get down that way if this lockdown ever ends

Fish, you really didn't have to troll years ago either, drift and cast an erie dearie or silver nuggets tip with a worm. I caught them casting lipless crankbaits and blade baits and others. Never a big fan of fishing on erie, it was almost always the closest water around with a high success rate. 1

Terry Posted April 8, 2020 Report Posted April 8, 2020 So, no one has a photo of anyone not following social distancing in the water so they use a file photo ,which means an old photo In this Plain Dealer file photo 2
OhioFisherman Posted April 8, 2020 Author Report Posted April 8, 2020 Missed that myself Terry, they have also closed the Maumee River which is a short drive west of there.
Lake Erie Bait and Tackle Posted April 14, 2020 Report Posted April 14, 2020 Can't wait to be able to get the boat out and go fishing again!
