Made my first trip(solo) of the year to Erie, and it was a GRIND...... wound up with 5, mostly from 60 to 64 fow. But there were few marks on the screen and even fewer takers. harnesses with gold did the damage off one rigger and 2 diver rods....... Nice quality fish though. Every one had an MT stomach.

Good job J. Sparrow!

Also made the first trip of the season with a friend today. We caught 3 eyes (24, 25, 25 inches), a white bass, yellow perch and a number of sheephead. Went out toward the line west of Point Abino. Got all fish rod in hand on harnesses. Fished from 3:30 pm till dark.

We launched well before sunrise and took a 2 man limit out of SP yesterday. 50 - 60 fow was the zone for us. Sticks on 7-8 colors were good early, and then we added 2 oz inline weights to those to keep taking fish, but the sticks cooled off and harnesses improved. Divers and riggers were quiet early but improved as the day went along. Good quality fish, but no fish over 6 lbs. Lots of boat traffic........ but you wouldn't think so based on reports......

[Stillwater]

Sounds like a great day! Thanks for sharing. Were the weights you added in your leader section or snap weights on the leadcore. Thanks.

[J. Sparrow]

I added the snap weights to the leader section, at the junction of fluoro leader and the lead core. 

[Stillwater]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I wouldn't think to do that. Good for deeper fish.

Fished west of Sturgeon Point yesterday in 58 to 78 fow from 3:30 pm till dark. Had areas of good marks but unfortunately they were not biting for me and my daughter. Zero, zip, nada. Oh well it was a beautiful day. Tried harnesses, spoons and Bomber long A in northern lights. Lake was very empty... no boats. Got as far west as the Catt. Next time I will make them pay!

Turbulent sediment loaded  storm waters will always fill an area on a Point of the lake with sediments in the calmer water inside the marina. Fixing the breakwater is like peeing up a drain pipe, a waste of time and money. The Ontario Crystal Beach Marina is an effective construction that could be located at Woodlawn Beach State Park. Closer to the local population users.

I am now 80 years old and fished blue pike with my DAD 70 years ago. Over the years and  attended hundreds of fishermen meetings on fishing access places on LAKE ERIE and recall a meeting years ago on the Sturgeon Point Marina access site. A fellow stood up and identified himself as an oceanographer. That is the study of water currents, tides and shoreline storm laden waters. He identified the Sturgeon Point site as a storm water disaster site and said the point on the lake is the worst place to put a marina. Of course all the "Old TImers" ignored him and today we have to deal with the mess we have there. FiXING THE BREAKWALL IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. The sand and storms will return resulting in dredging costs and breakwater repairs will return. The money spent will be better invested in a new Marina in other sites.
