mixmasterg Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 asny tips for fishing Erie in may? I'm going out of buffalo harbor...Tubes? how far? how deep? ;D Quote
thetr20one Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Find transitions mud/rock/sand. Start in 40+ feet drift your tubes into 8-10 feet when you find fish concentate on whatever they were relating to. Maybe a specific rockpile,shoal or depth. when you find 1 smallie at Erie you will find more. Many more! Quote
mixmasterg Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 Thanx!! That's a great start!!Hopefully I won't be wandering around all day!!! Quote
thetr20one Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 when you find fish mark them with your gps so you an stay on that spot or make multiple drifts over that spot. don't overcomplicate things either drifting is like bank fishing for catfish kinda. make sure you have a drift sock. make sure your bait stays in contact with the bottom.

procraft68 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 If you can find some pick up a pack of Venom or Zoom Tubes in watermellon/candy color. I use these all year on Erie, Detroit River, St Clair River. They work everywhere for me. Also find some goby baits, always a good choice Quote
flyhatch Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 well the wave report wasnt looking good so we bagged it for today. maybe next week. Quote
Wildbillb Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 gobies area major forage for smallies on Erie. Quote

flyhatch Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 we hit the bay today, the largemouth are putting on the feed bag. we caught plenty and saw everyone reeling in fish everywhere. went to the main lake looking for the big smallmouth but no dice so we went back to the bay and caught the largies. tubes and raps worked well. simply amazing fishery!!!!
