Lake Erie 06-15-23
Tina and I headed to Port Clinton for a nice perch dinner at Jolly Rogers. We did little driving around and stopped at Fisherman's Central. I needed some more ned worms from Ohio Lures Company. Unfortunately, I found out they went out of business. Guess I'll figure out some alternative. I took one rod with me and a jig tied on in case we drove by somewhere that looked fishy. I found one area along West Harbor on Lake Erie and had at least a dozen bass bites in short order. Fun time from shore. I was glad I brought the fishing rod with me.
This was our first fishing trip of 2023. Strong winds and storms the day prior led into our bluebird fishing day. Come along to see how we stringed some bites together on a tough fishing condition day. Thanks for being part of our community and stayed tuned for more exclusive content from R & J Bass Fishing.

Lake Erie Walleye hanging around a piece of structure. I took this footage last summer in about 15 feet of water.
I was able to get my buddy Jim out on the ice for the first time in about 10 years. We fished East Harbor of Lake Erie. What makes this area unique is that you are fishing 3 to 4 feet of water and you can look down the ice fishing hole and see the fish hit. For us guys up north it doesn't get much better during the winter. The only bad part is drilling through about 15 inches of ice. I let Jim use the underwater camera which gives a little extra excitement when the fish roll in. I'll leave a link if you would like to watch any of the underwater footage.
