Re: Erie fishing trip (Pics)

I was wrong when I originally posted that those were 1999 fish. It was the 2003 hatch that is one of the best on record rivaling the early 80's hatches. The 1999 fish should be in the 26" range now, with the 2003 fish being in the 15" to 18" range, which looks like mostly what you have there in the cooler.

Either way, should be a banner year up on Erie this year. Gonna have to get up there soon.

heck, for all the more the guys charges to fish off his boat, I don't think you could keep one. $450 per day we had 6 guys, he supplied bait. Not a bad deal. I could go quite a bit for that cheap. By the way there are no females cause the didn't spawn out yet.

I don't know much about walley Muggs, but the capt said that they wouldn't bite until they spawned out. He said you could hook one coming across, or go out to deeper water and troll. But the ones on the reef usually don't feed when laying eggs. Like I said I just took his word for it cause I don't know.

gotcha, that sounds about right, he also might not have wanted to harrass them, if that's the case, you found a good captain there.
