Lake Erie 06-16-23
I hit Lake Erie once again. The lake temperature was running 67 degrees. I hit backwater areas with a stiff northeast wind on the lake. I found some largemouth in a area that I hadn't fished before, and also decided to hit a hot water discharge area. I was shocked the bass were still in there. Water temperature was running 77 degrees in there. Most effective lures were a jig and a chatterbait.
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.

Jim and I went out over the holiday weekend and decided to drop the camera down on a rocky shoal. It was loaded with inactive young year class smallmouth. Dropped some lures down so you could see how they reacted to the baits, and what triggered their activity. #bassfishing #underwater #wildlife #nature #smallmouth #bass #GreatLakes
