I basically grew up on Saginaw bay and have taken plenty of fish out of there. I have been in Detroit now for 5 years and with the wife and new kids have not really had time to fish any more like I used to. Saturday I was lucky enough to get out on lake Erie for the first time with a buddy of mine, and boy did it bring back some memories.
We only boated 4 eye's but we had a blast. Probably would have done better if we would have had the proper equipment, but all of that is with my dad up on the bay. We were drifting/trolling crawlers while everyone else was running boards. If yesterday was any indication of what Erie is like my wife is in trouble. It is going to cost a little to get set up right so I can do some real damage..planner boards, 500 assorted color and size hot-n-tots, some spinners and harnesses, 4-6 new poles with line counter reels, electronics, radio, etc, etc etc,. Anyone now of a place where my wife can get a 2nd job to support my habbit.
My boat should be back next week, I'll be watching for a fishing report. Can't wait to hit bass pro shops this week.
