i know of some shipwrecks about 4 miles offshore here. grouper and yellowtail everywhere.

I have been catching small mouth bass at a near by creek. Decent size it has been Hot plus the sacadus

small mouth are the funnest to catch IMO.they put up a lot better fight than large mouths.a 1 lb small mouth can feel like a 10 lb large mouth!

That is a big small mouth bro. Last time I went out I caught a mess of really nice bluegills. Some good eating there.....

I'd like to see that. Crappie are fun to catch too. I used to live up by Lake Erie and we would go perch and walleye fishing alot. Those are good eating as well.....

Walleye are great tasting,especially if you cook them on a smoker

I always deep fried it. I bet that would be good.......

it is.smoking them is the only way my brother-in-law cooks them and it's the best fish i've ever eaten!


next time you catch a walleye,try smoking it

Despite the heat I've been out on Lake Erie a few times. The two most recent trips we targeted yellow perch and limited out both trips. There were enough anglers on one of the headboats that run out of Port Clinton, Ohio that we could keep up to 600 perch, we took 580 and ran out of bait. The perch were mostly 7 to 9 inches but very thick bodied. Many were spitting shiners out of their mouths as they were brought into the boat. We also took several jumbos that were pushing 13 inches. Walleye had been hitting the day before but we didn't get any.

I have also been to a local private pond and caught several bluegills that were all over 10 inches, now those were great eating and on light tackle great fun to catch.

We hope the weather will let us get our boat a 20' Grady White 3 or 4 times in September before the harvest get started.
