gitsmallies

thanks for your input . we fish out of NY small boat harbor. lake erie is one of or the best smallie factories in the world, early on use gitzit 3.5 inch smoke tube jigs in 12to 25 feret of water . when there done with the spawn go to a drop shot rig and use gulp minnows or any goby imatation. hope you like to pull in 5 to 6 pounders have fun . also if you get up this way the lower niagara river is agreat steel head spot.

me and my partner were in a tourny on lake erie last year 2 fish 20 inch minimum i have a steel ruler that is bent at right angle at one end i nosed the smallies we caught up to the bend ,the two biggest we pulled in were 19 3/4 and 19 1/2 do you pinch the tail down i was told thats what you do. if thats the case we threw back two keepers that would have won .
