The weather finally broke a little for the better this week. First tournament of the year is this Saturday. We were able to get out last couple days. The fish are getting ready for the spawning season. For us on Erie that means one thing the possibility of a true giant. The first trip didn't disappoint anchored by a true trophy 30 inch fish. Slow trolling p-10 crank baits was the key. The fishing should be incredible for the next 6 weeks

Fishing is pretty good, lots of big big wind, not fun lol. Water temp needs to go down a bunch for the really big fish to start chopping.

If you can get out due to the weather, the trollers are doing well off the south shore. Limits of trophy eyes are coming in to the docks. Both perch and walleye are being taken on shore. Activity will continue to be slow until ice season comes in.

Hi David,
I'm just getting back from about a month in the mountains of Colorado, so only a couple days on the water since my return.
Right now the focus in pa waters of Lake Erie are primarily smallmouth and lake trout in shallow with some walleye mixed in.
More to follow as I get more information, but there are some good fish around.

Fishing been just great , walleye from 2lbs to 8lbs are starting to show up. We are trolling stick baits and weights to get to the proper depth. I’m running trips till the end of November but I only have a very few days left.
