You simply need them to locate off shore locations on Erie. Subtle changes can result in good concentrations of smallmouth.

> work is over rated,money is not !

hello, looking for serious folks to share driving/lodging/travel costs to fish erie for smallmouths. i live an hour south of pittsburgh. have 18.5 multi species boat and expeience on the lake. my normal crew just can't fish as much as i do. PM me w/ your info. love to fish weekdays if conditions are good. BM

The J knot !

great detective work kent!!!! wonder what the "pay out" is for publishing that B.S.?

kent, go to bronzeback.com check out their listing of mike polega for the mich state record....bruce

Check out bronzeback.com>state records. It claims mike polega is the record holder. The mich DNR says this it not true. What do you guys know about this ? Tried to reach bronzeback.com w/o success....

Hello! Use the basics. Work the water column. Get good maps of the lakes and fish those structure/cover types conducive to bass at the appropriate season of the year. Break the lake down into a manageable section. you'll get on the bite!

Dropshot a tube or 4" worm.

Guy's what i'm thinking is we can use this post as a message board for those of us who want to go to good smallmouth spots. i fish erie and would like to fish some of the other great lakes as well as other waters. what are your choices? as i said when i posted, it's hard to find people who follow through w/ plans. i'm thinking 2 guys-1 boat, 4 guys-2 boats...u get it. what's your top destination?

Let's start a group of guys who are willing to travel to fish good smallmouth waters. Boat owners/non-boat owners. Work out some equitable travel exspense agreement,where to go,for how long,when...u guys get the idea. You all know how difficult it is to find dedicated,dependable guys to travel/fish with. Let the ideas roll....let's do this!!!!!

welcome tom... the guys here all seem very nice,very helpful!

Where have you caught your heaviest smallmouth (weighed by scale)?

thanks for the links. interesting to say the least. however, "the written word tends to stretch the truth whereas reality tends to shrink it.".....oliver wendell holmes

Fished the eastern basin last week. did well on 4#ers. water temp was 50-51. the fish are starting to pull up from the deep. going again next week......weather unstable this week....

I just did a test on 8# yozuri. it broke at 9+ lbs. also it's diam. is the same as many 10# lines.

which momo or mon/hybrid has the greatest breaking/knot strength in relationship to it's diameter?
