She was good n flat this morning on the way to work. Quite a few bass boats lined up getting ready to head out, must be a tourney going on maybe.I’ve been there twice, have never seen flat water
Got on the lake late Sunday afternoon out of Cleveland for a couple hours Caught this 27” casting an Erie Dearie, along with some shorts. Mainly went for a boat ride. Lots of fish on the graph. Hoping to get out this weekend or next week again and actually fish instead of screwing around.

Yeah, that whole nine mile community isn’t very welcoming to outsiders. That was the best ramp for us to use. Without it we’ve got a 8-10 mile run to where we dock the boats @ Ken’s gas dock.

Yep, the boats would beat the trucks to the marinaYep, from metro down to 9 mile is about 9 miles or so, with what seems like just as far to idle out of the marina. With the right wind it’s not a bad ride at all, but I’d still rather make a 1/2 mile run

Got @OhioWhiteTails out on the new boat today. Wind was decent for being SSE, and the already choppy conditions around the islands. Caught our fair share of smallmouth, more than our fair share of drum and a surprise ‘eye in 4-ish FOW on a breakwall fishing for largemouth.
I took a rare day off last Friday to finally hit a creek for smallmouth. The bite started a little slow but picked up late-morning. The stretch I fished was 60% new to me (we usually stop at a point and retrace our steps back downstream). This time, I fished all the way until the creek came back around to the road.
A prototype "jerkbait" fly I came up with caught a few.
Most of the fish ate this fly, also relatively new from the vise. Fished on a sink tip, the fly almost suspends and darts around on the strip. It's based off a fly called the "swimmin' Jimmy."
Big fish of the day. Awesome to watch the eat in gin-clear water.

I know why they are called drum. When you catch one you beat them on the back of the boat before returning them to their natural environment...
I went fishin up at Erie back in the 80’s with a buddy’s family and his dad caught one about 3-4 lbs and I asked if it was a chub or drum and he said it was a hammer head. I’m like, what the………….then he reached under the seat and grabbed a hammer and then showed me how it got its name before returning it to the lake.

Few pics from the past week or two, some local fish, some not so local fish, and also not even a fish but I still caught it with the fly rod- don’t recommend.

Erie and some of its tribs have been good to me lately. Smallmouth fishing has been pretty good, and a lot of those pesky walleye in the mix too.

Brothers pond for a few hours with these 2 knuckleheads. 5 LM between Ty and I, and 25+ bluegills for Myles off the dock. Ty landed the largest out of the paddle boat with a football jig in deepest/coldest area.
Back to brothers pond last night with the oldest 2. Myles got bit by the fishing bug hard sometime over the summer and has been out 3-4x's with different buddies/family in the last few weeks! He and Ty burned up the camping pond edge for 1.5 days straight last weekend. Hopefully some easy Christmas shopping for dad on the horizon
. He's working hard to land his first bass, last night was not his night lol.
