Jim and I fished Lake Erie last week. One of the rare calm days on the lake. It turned out to be a great day of fishing. There are lots of baitfish spawn swimming around the and the bass are in schools swimming around eating them up. You just had to do a little chasing to find them most of the day. We used small plastics and some larger plastic lures to entice the bass. We also managed to catch 6 walleye while bass fishing. Tally for the day was over 50 with probably even mix of smallmouth and largemouth. We did fish one piece of underwater structure that produced some smallmouth and walleye as well. Called it day early little after 1 pm. I was going pretty much after work and the heat with lack of wind was getting to me out there. Sorry for the late report on this one. Schedule has been pretty hectic the the last couple weeks. #bassfishing #fishing #LakeErie #GreatLakes #bass #smallmouth #reports
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.

What I learned from fishing the Urchin lure. How to rig and how critical weight is.
I had one of the first websites back in the day for bass fishing. It was called Rick's Ultimate Bass Fishing. It consisted mainly of fishing articles and big bass photos from around the world. During that time I became friends with a fellow angler from California Chris Wolfgram (FishChris). FishChris ran a website called TrophyBassOnly.com. We shared a lot of notes, photos, and few long distance conversations over the phone back then. Here is one of his early submissions to my website back in 2000.
