Gobbler

This video is from the Lake Ontario United page. It makes me rethink my thoughts on fishing for spawning bass. I always assumed it didn't hurt a thing as long as the fish is returned unharmed where is was caught. It shows it only takes seconds for the gobies to raid the nest once the fish is gone. https://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/73391-video-on-gobie-on-bass-spawn/

Try Windfinder APP then double their wave height estimate and that will get you in the ball park

Yes...without a doubt camera would be great. Somewhere off the center breakwall would be ideal. Every year many, many fisherman drive hours to get to the lake only to find it to be too rough...burned by poor weather and wind forecast. The company the owns Safe Boat Marina should install cameras. I'm sure they are making a healthy profit there with all their slips rented for the season starting at $1200 and up per slip. I'd even settle for a large airport style windsock out there that can be observed from shore. An online camera showing the windsock and the water would be a perfect solution. Who do we need to speak to make it happen is the key question?

I am thinking of fishing Ohio this April. I have heard some great things about the Port Clinton area. Does anyone have any tips for places to fish, stay, launch etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Anything going on through the ice?

This is the first year I've fished Erie and have heard some great things about the spring and fall perch fishing. Is it too early to try for some perch this weekend? I will be fishing out of SBH. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

I think they have a flag up by the restaurant but it should be down by the gas pumps. Either another flag or a nice big windsock like at the airport would be great to get a wind indicator before you get out there. The fact that you can't see the main lake until you come out of one of the gaps is always a bit of crossing your fingers that you are not going to get a rough ride.

I haven't seen any recent posts on the walleye bite out of SBH. Is the bite still hot out in 45 to 50 fow? I plan on giving it a try tomorrow (Tues.) Any advise?

I would love to try some shallow walleye. Can you give a ball park area? What are you using in that shallow water?

Are anybody fishing those river walleye?

Sorry for the rookie questions but like I said in my earlier posts I'm new to Lake Erie. It sounds like I need to learn to pull bottom bouncers to have any luck catching walleyes. I've got a million questions but I will try to only ask a few at a time. Here are a few I need help with to start. What is the best rod reel combo for pulling bottom bouncers? What is the best rod length? Do I need line counters reels? Do I need boards? Can I even use boards with bottom bouncers? Where do I find the 4,5,6 oz bottom bouncers?
