Fall Basin 2024
Dwight Hottle reply :
Went out this Monday after getting a heads up from Lucky Craft Man who was already on the water. I tried cranks & jerkbaits but the fishing was slow. Steve was having good luck with jigging spoons so I tried the old silver buddy. My buddy produced the better fish. Here is a pic of the best one.

Lake Erie on a nice day.

I know that spot. I recognize those waves! 
Lucky Craft Man reply :
It was finally nice to be able to give Dwight some tips after all the help he has given me.
Here is a picture of the biggest one we caught that same day (this was caught by my buddy).
Dwight, we should have gotten those two fish together for a photo. That would have been one awesome picture to add to the "Your Favorite Pair" thread.

My scale got swamped and shorted out on me, so we didn't get a weight on it. However, since we knew it wasn't over 7 pounds, it didn't matter much that we didn't weigh it (7 pounds in Erie is that line where anything under doesn't really need weighed).

Steve ~ We have both been Ruined I tell ya - Ruined.
Dink dropping 5 pound smallmouth is a sin and you know it - but that's what happens . . . .
Now come south with us and dink drop some 7 pound green bass . . . .

A-Jay,
I know. It is a shame when 5 and 6 pound Smallmouth are considered nice fish, but just not the one you are looking for. Now if that fish was caught out of say the Allegheny River, that would be a replica worthy fish, but Erie has just set the bar so high.
As far as heading south with you guys to dink drop 7 pound Largemouth, that would be like a dream come true! However, that is a trip I won't be able to put on my radar until my girls are older. In the meantime, I will have to live vicariously through you guys, so be sure to keep posting pictures of those slobs!!!
