This video is from the Lake Ontario United page. It makes me rethink my thoughts on fishing for spawning bass. I always assumed it didn't hurt a thing as long as the fish is returned  unharmed where is was caught. It shows it only takes seconds for the gobies to raid the nest once the fish is gone.

Try Windfinder APP then double their wave height estimate and that will get you in the ball park

Yes...without a doubt camera would be great. Somewhere off the center breakwall would be ideal. Every year many, many fisherman drive hours to get to the lake only to find it to be too rough...burned by poor weather and wind forecast. 

The company the owns Safe Boat Marina should install cameras. I'm sure they are making a healthy profit there with all their slips rented for the season starting at $1200 and up per slip. I'd even settle for a large airport style windsock out there that can be observed from shore. An online camera showing the windsock and the water would be a perfect solution.

Who do we need to speak to make it happen is the key question?

I am thinking of fishing Ohio this April. I have heard some great things about the Port Clinton area. Does anyone have any tips for places to fish, stay, launch etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Anything going on through the ice?

This is the first year I've fished Erie and have heard some great things about the spring and fall perch fishing. Is it too early to try for some perch this weekend?  I will be fishing out of SBH.  Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks  

I think they have a flag up by the restaurant but it should be down by the gas pumps. Either another flag or a nice big windsock like at the airport would be great to get a wind indicator before you get out there. The fact that you can't see the main lake until you come out of one of the gaps is always a bit of crossing your fingers that you are not going to get a rough ride. 

Here is a good web page to help gauge the waves heights when you are deciding whether to go or not. Just remember to add 2 foot to the wave height they are reporting. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=45142

How deep are you finding the perch?  Any tips to finding them?

I haven't seen any recent posts on the walleye bite out of SBH. Is the bite still hot out in 45 to 50 fow?  I plan on giving it a try tomorrow  (Tues.)  Any advise?

I would love to try some shallow walleye.  Can you give a ball park area? What are you using in that shallow water?

Does anyone fish these deep walleyes with these Shiver Minnow or Jigging Raps in this area? Seems like the should work here but don't hear about anybody using them. They sure look like they work well when Keith Kavajecz is using them on You Tube.

In case somebody out there hasn't heard...a guy shattered state record walleye this May up in the St. Lawrence River 18 lbs. 2 oz. He was using a Trigger X soft plastic paddletail. Apparently it wasn't one of those fluke catches. He was targeting walleyes and had caught a limit that morning. If you zoom in you can see Thousand Island bridge in the background

Look at the belly must have been still filled with eggs.

Ok thanks. I had to push it back a day. I will give it a try Tuesday.

I may try it tomorrow. How deep?  bottom bouncers?

Are anybody fishing those river walleye?

Sorry for the rookie questions but like I said in my earlier posts I'm new to Lake Erie. It sounds like I need to learn to pull bottom bouncers to have any luck catching walleyes.  I've got a million questions but I will try to only ask a few at a time. Here are a few I need help with to start.

What is the best rod reel combo for pulling bottom bouncers? What is the best rod length?  Do I need line counters reels?  Do I need boards? Can I even  use boards with bottom bouncers? Where do I find the 4,5,6 oz bottom bouncers?

Thanks Locoman... we will give those spots a try. Is there a better place to buy bait than the SBH bait shop? Their prices seem high.

Interesting reading. Good to see the DEC using our license dollars to help improve our fishing.

Like I said in my earlier post I'm new to fishing Lake Erie. I would like to take my sons out to catch some smallmouths on Father's Day. Any suggests on where to start and what to use? I will be launching at SBH

I noticed the DEC boat electrically shocking fish just to the north of the entrance buoys  to the SBH marina this past Friday. What species could they be looking for in that shallow?

Great Forum you guys have here! I'm new to fishing Lake Erie and the information you guys are generous enough to share here will be a great help.

I appreciate the fact that you are giving up hard earned information that in many cases has taken years on the water to obtain. Thanks
