chowder Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 We started trolling for eyes last summer up near Dunkirk, NY and really enjoyed it. We would like to go down and experience the early bite in the Port Clinton area. Trolling is what we know from salmon fishing and would prefer to go that way for early eyes too. Can anybody point me in the basically right direction in terms of timing, baits, depths and locations? Any and all info appreciated. Thanks!!

Misdirection Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Check out the Lake Erie United site. Alot of info from that end of the lake on the site. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr 580 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Ohio DNR site has a fair amount of info. As far as trolling- you are fishing pretty shallow so cranks off boards - pretty similar to a spring brown setup. Good gps should show the reefs around Port Clinton and there are plenty of boats around. I used to trailer out there and never had issues finding fish. Biggest issue is wind and waves-being shallow kicks up quick. I usually went in May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
