thetr20one Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Here is a 29.71# Lake Erie limit. The guy fishing with me had a 25# limit. All fish survived. We caught over 40 fish each that day, it seems crazy that you would need to cull 5# smallies. The smallest fish were in the 3 pound range. The first pic is my PB 6.4 but we catch many many fish in the upper 5 lower 6 range! Sorry the pics are a little blurry I had to take pics with my digital from regular film! Quote
thetr20one Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 I dont Know I just wanted to show RW. I have heard him say he wants to visit Erie. And these are from last year. I will be going there next weekend. Fresh pics then!! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 5, 2008 Super User Posted May 5, 2008 Great brown fish! That's exactly what I was asking about. Good luck on your next outing, I can hardly wait to see some new pics. 8-) Quote
Sharkbite Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 dam they sure are perfect I hope I get up there some day. were you jigging? Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Super User Posted May 27, 2008 Outstanding job out there! WOW! I wish I had an opportunity to fish Erie. What were you using, if I may ask? Quote
thetr20one Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 Tubes, goby imitations and drop shotted senkos. Typical Erie smallie presentations. Drop shotting is a must when you lose the wind and waves. Sorry guys my daughter has been sick and I haven't been able to get up to the big lake and smash em yet. I have only been out a few times this year period and most have tourneys with no practice. And my results have been reflecting that. I will however Get up there ASAP and post up when I can. You can check out the fish across america pics and see a few good fish I have caught this year. I really have only ran my boat outside a tourney 2 or 3 times. It sucks but my daughter comes before fishing. And there is still plenty of year left fortunatly! Quote
hawgchaser Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I HAVE to take come up there! I fish a lake here in Arkansas that has a lot of smallies. But it is very rare to catch a 5lber. They are the ultimate fish to me. Good job and post some more of those beauties if you catch some more. Quote

Hey buddy, When the water warms up a little, you need to fish Bull Shoals. In 2002 the water was nearly as high as it is now. The recruitment of that year's spawn was estimated to be 95% which is virtually impossible and unprecedented. ALL of the smallmouth from that year class should now weigh +/- 5lbs and all the bass I caught that year that have survived are now 6+ for sure! This could be the best year for smallmouth fishing in the lake's history. p.s. My guide is Tim "Hot Dawg" Curtis...870-445-4175. Give him a call. 8-) Quote

I have a place on Greers Ferryso it is so darn convenient for me to just go there. BUT you have convinced me. Especially after this morning. My buddy and me caught 32 smallies this morning and not one was 3 lbs. I am not complaining but I sure would like to see some pigs like those above Quote
thetr20one Posted June 9, 2008 Author Posted June 9, 2008 I am trying to get up there. I am close but my time has been super limited lately. I will get up there this month sometime. For sure. I have been jonesin for pig smallies! Quote
