Rangerphil Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Well so far we have fished two days up here and so far so good. The rain and storms have made it a little tough but we are catching some good fish! The first day we had to fish the bay because of all the lightning but my son caught some good largemouth. His first time ever drop shotting and I think he is getting the hang of it. Today we went out on the main lake a dodge all the storms! We caught some and he caught his first good lake Erie smallmouth. We then caught a few more with a few well over three pounds! We have not caught any giants yet but hopefully we saved the big ones for this weekend for our tournament! When I get home I will post pics after the whole trip! 1 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted June 30, 2013 Super User Posted June 30, 2013 Nice to hear you guys are doing well. Keep us posted... Quote
Rangerphil Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 Hey guys well we had a blast! The weather was horrible but we was still able to catch some good ones! We ended up in 6th place overall for both days out of 18 boats. My son had a blast and did very good to my surprise! He even got to drive the boat around a little bit and was able to load the boat on the trailer even with all the other boats around (there was also another club there with thirty boats). I am a proud dad and may have found a new partner! I am going to post pics just bare with me I may have to post one at a time! Thanks to all who replied and to Dwight for pointing us in the right direction! Quote
Rangerphil Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 By this point he thought he was babe wilkeman!...lol.. Quote
Rangerphil Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 First day of the tournament. He caught both of those! He carried us the first day! Quote
Rangerphil Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 Today second day! Not quite as big but we manage a limit and withstood the 4-5 footers! Only four teams caught a limit today! Quote
Rangerphil Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 Last fish touched at lake Erie this year! Also we were able to release all of our fish alive and well! Fizzing them as soon as we catch them makes a huge difference! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted July 1, 2013 Super User Posted July 1, 2013 Congrats on the awesome trip! Can't wait until I finally get to fish Erie!!! Jeff 1 Quote
Rangerphil Posted July 1, 2013 Author Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks! It is a awesome place but very humbling when the wind picks up! Quote
s freud Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Growing up there you hear it is actually the most dangerous of the great lakes because storms blow in fast and the waves react quickly because it is the most shallow of the lakes. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 1, 2013 Super User Posted July 1, 2013 Congrats on the great trip! Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted July 1, 2013 Super User Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks! It is a awesome place but very humbling when the wind picks up! Looks like you guys really did well considering the weather. Your smallies looked bigger than the largemouth. Congrats on putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Quote
