I fished Lake Erie yesterday and caught the assortment of fish. Smallmouth, Largemouth, and some fish to take home for dinner. I was unable to locate the yellow perch so I had to improvise and got on a good bluegill bite in a back bay. Walleye caught trolling a Flicker Shad in 18 ft of water. Smallmouth were caught in 21 feet of water on a small spoon. Largemouth caught on zoom finesse worm on a drop shot. #LakeErie #walleye #perch #bluegill #fishing #smallmouth #largeouth #bass #Michigan #Ohio
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.
