I being from NW Ohio and being an experienced Lake Erie guy have questions about the Saugeye in Indian lake. When you are using jerk baits are you using Rapala husky jerks? If so what size and colors? On Erie right now pinks purple with white are the way to go. When jigging what weight and colors seem best?

Larry, best colors for jerks this fall/winter were husky jerks size 12-14 in blue chrome orange, then smithwick rogues in like crush, clown, and blue chrome and orange. Some nights all they wanted was the husky jerk others just the smithwicks. Jigs I will throw anything from 1\16-1\4 oz, usually orange or chart heads with a chart, pink, or orange twister. Silktruese, solar flare, and pink slush joshys did some damage too.

depending on how close the fish are in on the banks, usually 2 to 4 ft. 3ft being the average.

last spring we had many days with a dozen huge crappies on corks and swim baits!

I had a 11" crappie swallow a big joshy last night! The bite is just starting, lots of males no females yet. 14-18" fish.
