Lund and Crestliner are built by the same factory. Starcraft now makes a nice boat that is welded. Called a Starweld. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

There is an outboard bracket with an electric steering control on it. It is controlled by a remote control that you have on your belt and it allows you to attend your lines in the stern. Great when you fish alone. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Limit catches from the Catt have been reported. The problem now is bait availability. We may have to convert our fishing to artificials. I hate having to associate with those “artificials only” people that are so delicate to keep their hands clean. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

The Lake surface water temperature has dropped and fish are returning to the Eastern waters. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

No attendants on the site. Just the docks and parking lot open. Hidden Harbor had its docks in also. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Years ago the Health Department warned of Lake Ontario fish consumption. This led to a loss of food fishing opportunities on Lake Ontario. Decades have passed now and there have been no updates from that agency and generations of new anglers have been lost. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Unharvested perch have a high impact on walleye, bass and other fish as they feed on fry and fingerlings of the walleye and bass. They also impact the emerald shiners, gobies, mussels and fleas. It is a failure of the anglers who ignore the need to balance the harvest of perch. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Lake Erie has a higher fertilization level from all the agriculture activity, higher human population contributing more nutrients. Average shallower depth contributes a greater production area for perch. It is the greatest food fish producing Lake in the world. The perch numbers are controlled by generous sport fishing quotas and a quota limit on commercial fishing operations with international cooperation by the concerned agencies. Still there are boom and bust harvest years that we end up having to live with. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

The problem begins with a wind shift and your hooks foul the neighbors anchor line. Even if you break off your line, the guy pulling the anchor will find hooks in fingers, and then the action begins. Stay far away from the other guys anchor line so the war does not start. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Getting close to a “catching boat” is not the answer. Getting between two catching boats is better. “An old timer” said keeping bait down below keeps the school from moving off. To keep the intruders away, do not stand up and reel. Do not use the net, only slide the fish over the gun Wales. It is called “Stealth Fishing”. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Best check the DEC regulations for non commercial minnow dip nets.

The lake surface water temperature is falling rapidly and the perch will migrate to the nearshore areas with 55 foot ideal where the shale meets the mud. October is the best time for perching and its more productive for filling your winter larder than sitting in a tree stand with a bow,

Last Tuesday down off Lorain ,Ohio, limits of walleyes were taken fishing the top twenty foot of water. The strong offshore wind caused an upwelling of cold water on the bottom of the lake. Our graph showed nothing on the bottom but these fellows decided to fish the top water as we do in the spring and early summer and limited out. so if nothing showing on the bottom fish on top.

Tuesday, south and east winds finally shut the fishing down today . One white bass was our total catch. The bottom was devoid of fish on our graphs. Went out to 76 foot of water and found almost nothing. One nearby boat had two seagull feeders though. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

The bigger walleye follow the cold water smelt. They burn more energy chasing smaller emeralds than they receive from digesting them. Big fish eat big bait. The smelt are down deep when the hot summers water temperatures rise. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

We sold a lot of deep husky jerk rap alas all winter long to fishermen casting from shore into the Niagara River. Large fish, night and day, snow and cold. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

When the water temperature falls below 65 degrees on the surface the walleyes and perch move back to the river and near shore areas. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

From 8 to 12 AM today, picked up ten, eighteen to twenty eight inches . Four throwbacks in seventy six to seventy feet of water from the Catt and east as the wind was steady and stronger. Harnesses, spoons and Renosky stickbaits all worked. There you go. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

A bottom bouncer is a lead sinker, probably two to three ounces, with a worm harness or a shallow diving stickbait attached above it. It is let out till it hits the bottom and the line drag in the water lifts it by boat speed through the water. It is best fished by holding the rod in your hand so you feel any hits. You also check the depth occasionally by letting the sinker touch bottom. Some sinkers have a long brass rod through them to help avoid snags. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United
