Tomorrow, will be my first trip out on Erie this year. I got a good jig report, not looking forward to 30* boat ride, insulated coveralls and hand warmers will be needed. Hoping it warms up so I can get my boys out on the boat as well.
We went out this afternoon caught ten jumbo perch and a handful of catfish and a sheep head. We were using light weight poles, never seen a dock demon with a regular zebco 33 bend like that. I let the boys net each others fish while I coached em, we got some more work to do. Not a productive perch day, but the boys said they had blast.
Went out alone and caught 5 perch with 15mph south west wind, struggled to anchor and got bounced around like a bath toy, only day I could get out this week, still beats working.
