Read the battery voltage with a meter. Your engine will start on low voltage but your electronics are dead. This could save you some good money. Remember your battery is another year old. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

1 make sure your battery volts are above 10 volts. Most electronics auto shut down with low voltage. If you add another depth and fishfinder, to get a good view you must disable the sonar signal on one unit otherwise a lot of interference is visible from the other machine. The GPS mode is still available on that machine. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Lake Erie generates its own weather at times. Water and air conditions cause a huge difference in wave heights and gaps. Mid summer heats will double wave heights off Dunkirk from shore to mid lake regions. We fished the PWT tournament in Dunkirk one year where wave heights went from one foot to twelve foot high in one hour. TV cameras are not a safe indicator of wave conditions .

27 perch are 54 filets, many good meals. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Rig your pole with a half ounce or3/8 oz sinker, 20# braid and 3 snelled #4 or #6 Eagle Claw hooks from Wal Mart. Tie the hooks direct to the braid line. They are more sensitive to light bites or perch just mouthing the minnows. Swivel snaps, spreaders and other contraptions with heavy sinkers are not sensitive to many perch bites. Set the hooks 4 inches to up to 4 foot above the sinker. Most important is to use only one rod, you catch more perch with one rod since you are not wasting minnows with rods you watch and rebaiting them. Holding your rod is more productive since watching a rod for bites results in missing too many perch bites. Three or more guys in the boat with a lot of bait under the boat hold more traveling schools there. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Boxed out with three guys, perch. 54 to 58 foot of water, mud bottom. Goldens and salted emeralds did the trick.

The Coast Guard deems electric fuel pumps illegal. It seems they will pump gasoline even if the engine is not running. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Maybe your spark plugs are fouled? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

When the alcohol gasoline came out the boat slowed down a lot. The boat builder replaced the fuel line with an alcohol approved line. The interior of the original line swelled up and restricted the fuel flow.7 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Yesterday the Lake Erie water temperatures were 54 degrees off Toledo, Ohio and 49 degrees off Cleveland, Ohio, SW winds will warm things up here soon.

There is Weather Buoy reports from all over the lake. Just add a foot to the wave heights since the buoys never reach the wave height as the wave passes by.
