Anyone know of a reputable smallmouth guide for the Western basin area of Lake Erie? Also, what are the "prime times" for smallmout on Erie? Thanks

Erie smallmouth are pretty easy in the spring. Most guides specialize in walleye and salmon/steelhead on their boats.

In the spring you can catch them at Presque Isle in the bay. Also, right now they are still running into elk creek. Guys are tearing fish up.

Most guys are from Erie and the ones who aren't all fish it.
