Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 29, 2012 Super User Posted September 29, 2012 They are not aces but it is a good start for fall. Smallies are starting to move from their summer haunts. Caught everything on jerk baits but that is all I used. Water temp was 64-65 & mostly sunny with good visibility in the 15 foot range. Caught the biggest fish on larger baits. Can't wait for October & cooler water. 1 Quote
kylek Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Great looking pair of fish!!! What type of jerkbait do you use? Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted September 29, 2012 Super User Posted September 29, 2012 They are not aces but.......... Our aces must look totally different! Good looking fish bud! Jeff Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted September 30, 2012 Super User Posted September 30, 2012 Nice fish, Dwight! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 30, 2012 Super User Posted September 30, 2012 Cool photo Dwight and a very encouraging sign. Both of those Beautiful Fatties appear to have already strapped on the Fall Feed Bag. October is just around the corner and it looks like the bite is coming on. Stay on them my friend.

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 30, 2012 Author Super User Posted September 30, 2012 Great looking pair of fish!!! What type of jerkbait do you use? I use a lot of rapala husky jerks, smithwick rouges, lucky craft pointers mostly. Shallow & deep divers. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 30, 2012 Super User Posted September 30, 2012 Nice fish! Our water temperature is 78* - 79*, still ten degrees away from "fall". Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 1, 2012 Super User Posted October 1, 2012 You have a couple of nice smallies there! Quote
Big-O Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 WTG Dwight, those are nice ones! Big coat weather coming soon... Quote
flyhatch Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Great start Dwight!! I cant wait to put my shiney friends into action. The fall bite on Erie is my favorite time, I can just hope we get a few good wind days cause its pretty much if you can get on the water, the smallies are waiting and very willing. Last fall the last trip we made was November 30th and It was cold, raining and very windy. We got out there and It was borderline unfishable. I caught like 25 in less than a hour fishing time. After that we came to our senses and made the run into east street. If you want to simulate the ride on lake Erie in the spring or fall, sit in you boat, in your driveway, and have someone throw buckets if ice water in your face. ( that of course dosent simulate the bend in the rod those brown fish give ya) but it will save you some gas money. see ya on the lake........ Quote
Super User South FLA Posted October 4, 2012 Super User Posted October 4, 2012 Dwight, Nice fish! Wouldn't expect anything less. Quote
