Thank you all for your help! We fished Saturday morning out of Lorain. Got a late start but went out and headed towards the Dumping Grounds. Huge fleet of boats to the north west of the dumping Grounds. We started trolling the south end heading north. Waves were BRUTAL! Ended up with 8 eyes, 4 keepers in the 17-19" range and 4 shorts. Quit at about 1. Headed back out at 5 and picked up 4 eyes real quick in the same area. Wind and waves really started to pick up so we decided to call it quits. Never made it out Sunday but was a blast to fish the one day. Sunspot, fruit dots, and blue/chrome bandits on a 2oz inline weight back 150 were hot. Dipseys on a #1 setting back 90 and a #3 setting back 110 with purple spoons were also productive. The small fish all came on the spoons. 2.5-3.0 like you guys said was the ticket. Thank you all for your help! Definitely shortened the learning curve. You've got an amazing fishery in Erie. Can't wait to get back. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Hi All, I have never fished Lake Erie but am visiting family mid-July in Cleveland and would like to make the trip out. I troll Ontario and the Finger Lakes quite a bit as well as jig Oneida Lake here in NY. I have been sorting through old posts for the past few weeks trying to find a good starting point for Mid-July out of Cleveland. Sounds like worm harnesses and Bombers are the way to go in conjunction with dipseys, riggers and leadcore. Does anyone use blade baits and bucktail jigs to jig up walleye like we do on Oneida? Are the fish mostly suspended or bottom-oriented? Thank you all for your input and I can't wait to get out and fish the mighty Erie! Sully
