Pap, Condolences on the loss of your father. My Dad died fifty three years ago. I was eight years old. My dad introduced me and my twin to fishing at an early age. I have pictures of me at 2 years old of my first catch. A perch caught at Honeoye lake. I have brought up my 3 girls the same way I was brought up. They all fish with me to this day. I had my 2 year old Grandson on my boat this past week. A new generation is up and coming. No apologies needed for you saying you never fished Erie. If I can help you when you here let me know. More than happy to assist.
