Thanks! I just need to find a way to catch some bigger fish.
I went back to Turtle Creek on 11/18/16 and we caught way bigger bass but less numbers. I got home and I had no video!!! I have no clue what I did wrong, but there were only a couple video files on the gopro and a 8 hour days will have about 20-30 files on 20 minute loops. I was so mad. We had a 5 lb and a couple 3 lbs bass...but no video!!!
Timing is everything around Erie. I have had days in Sandusky bay where we just hammered 2-4lb bass with a couple bigger fish and the next weekend nothing over 2lbs. East harbor and west harbor can be the same way. One day it's a hog fest the next day it's dinkville. Either way it is still a ton of fun thanks for sharing the video.
I start catching fish when the water is in the upper 40's but it's not gang busters until the water is upper 50's that's when the big girls start to feeding heavy.
You all will let me know then. My first video of the year always comes from the Portage Lakes. Some big girls come up as soon as the ice is off. My profile pic is from the Portage Lakes in Feb. with 38 degree water.
I fish the mouth of the Portage River every once and a while on the rocky pier, I used to fish there every weekend. I've caught both Smallmouth and Largemouth there fishing with tubes and crankbaits. One day in October i couldn't stop catching big largemouth there. Some days are better than others. The white bass come in there too, all along the pier especially on the right side you can do well in the summer. A while ago the white bass were much more prevalent but it's still decent.
