November Smallies on Lake Erie 2024


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

Here is my first fish from Sunday Nov 8th on lake erie fishing by myself. 


fishing user avatarGrey Wolf reply : 

Great smallie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

WOW!

That's a beauty.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

Here is another view, same fish. I caught 5 smallies all on a pointer 100 deep diver. Water temp was 51 degrees. Fish were still spread out.


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

I had one bait 12 feet back from the boat in a rod holder while I turned the boat. I looked back and  my rod got slamed. Heck of a bonus. 32" long & 12lb-4oz.


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

Last bass of the day before heading home.


fishing user avatarretiredbosn reply :

fishing user avatarriverfisher reply : 

Can I come over to play PLEASE!!!!

Those are some SWEEET SMB!!


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

Had a long time  buddy come over yesterday for some smallie action. His biggest smallie to date was  a 4lb-15 oz. I gave him my hot bait to use for the day and he outfished me 6 bass to my 4. Here a pic of new personal best, right at 6lbs. 


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

nice fishing, Dwight!  Very cool of you to share with your friend.  i love it when I do well, but I love it just as much when I can show someone how to do well, too.  Really validates what your doing.  nice work all around!

;)

I umm.....I think I hate you!


fishing user avatarLipped M reply : 

Nice fishing gents!


fishing user avatarNewAngler reply : 

Great fish, Dwight.

I just saw one of your post in the other species section and thought, "I wonder how his fall on erie has been."

That was literally 3 minutes ago.

Great job, as usual.

Oh, if his was at 6, what was yours at, and why don't you start a guide service?


fishing user avatarCrestliner2008 reply : 

Truely awesome small mouth bass! Congrats!!!


fishing user avatarDwight Hottle reply : 

New angler,

My first fish weighed 6lb-4oz. If I was a guide, fishing might become work rather than fun. Besides I'm retired .  ;)


fishing user avatarBass-1 reply : 

Those are truly amazing smallies Dwight. Looks like if I want to catch a smallie over 6 lbs., I'll have to fish Erie.....

Nah...You guys in Maine produce 6 lb smallies.

8-)


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

Maine state record is 8-0. ;)


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

The 8th was THE day to be out on Erie, a friend and I spent  the late morning/early afternoon out there and put over 50 in the boat between us, no giants, but nothing under 3, and each of us got a mid 5. Tubes and or dropshot, didn't matter they bit both. Funny thing is we were smack dab in the middle of a 30+ boat tournament (we were not in it) and every one was catching fish, on.................about a 2 square mile area,  elbow to elbow we were stacked in there and so were the fish. Only place in the world for SM like it........and the fish are just freaks as well.


fishing user avatarNateFollmer reply : 

Geez, I need to get up to Lake Erie! I keep saying every year I'm coming up, but I never do.

Those are some awesome fish! The smallies here in the Juniata aren't even close to that size :)


fishing user avatarguest reply : 

Awesome smallies Dwight. Glad to see your enjoying your retirement.


fishing user avatarJF1 reply : 

Great smallies!!  I can't wait til spring to get up to PI bay to try to get into some smallies!


fishing user avatarA-Rob reply : 

Another bunch of Erie monsters!

Nice bass!!


fishing user avatarPhranchise1213 reply : 

Erie is truly a world class smallie fishery. Beauty fish! If anyone ever gets the chance to fish erie, don't pass it up, you won't be disappointed...just remember to hang on ;)
