I’m going on a family trip to Ohio this summer (I’m from nj), and I would like some advice. I’m staying at a hotel about 10 minutes away from Lake Erie, and I’m thinking about trying fishing there. I am an avid largemouth bass fisherman, so I have tackle suited for bass fishing. This is my first time so what rods, reels, line, lures, or bait to use would all help me. Any tips or techniques would also be helpful.

I’d suggest looking for a guide to take you smallmouth fishing.
