Lake erie smallie

Welcome back is right! Don't forget to wear your rainbow trout camo.

Justfishin, I just got back from Bay of Quinte off lake Onrario the week before thansgiving. Big water, windy & cold. My home water is Lake erie. I pick & choose my days in the late fall based on the wind. I have fished in big waves but I prefer not to. My best fishing for big bass is in the spring prespawn. I wished the late fall was as predictable as the spring.

TT, A twitch bait as I remember.

Thats a beauty. Especially for the north. Congradulations.

I'm new to Pa since Dec 2007. Live in the erie area (millcreek Twp) kind of half way between Walnut creek marina & Presque Isle. I'm retired. Anybody that wants or gets up this way give me shout.

Last smallie of 2008. Caught in late oct. Is it spring yet?

Bassin, Thanks. 7lb-6oz

Smallie

Here is my biggest smallie & walleye for 2008. Also last years biggest pike & lake trout.

Nice river smallie. I can share your concern with thinking it could be a catfish. I hooked a giant this spring on a crankbait on lake erie and it turned out to be a 10.5 lb channel cat.

Rapala's do catch PB's. A real beauty.

Nice fish, great picture.

Listen to Mass Hole Mike. Good ideas.

Way to go. A PB smallie on topwater is an accomplishment.

Try back to back uni knot. I use 20lb or 30lb ultracast baid & 12lb or 15lb maxima ultragreen for leaders. Maxima ultragreen is very abraison resistant & very strong for the line test rating. The back to back uni knot is bullet proof for strength.

Lake Erie.....7lb-6oz.

Nice river bass. I would guess 5lb-5.5lb range.
