Nice catch, we had some 11" ones that were fat like footballs yesterday.
The deeper water was the ticket, especially after the sun got up and the rays could penetrate. We had like 30 between 9 and 11 with 3 moves then went deep and finished up 48' between 11 and 2:30 with all the rest. And one 27" eye. Straight out of wildwood over the mussel bed. Hear a lot of radio from 72nd but didn't sound like much. Don't know what they did there.

Went out about 42', east of crib, landed three tickets about two hours. Another boat about 100 yards from us had four ticket in about an hour.
There's a pretty nice launch at Edgewater. About 2 miles past the Browns Stadium headed West on rt. 2. Follow the signs.
My boat is there and ready to go!! I'm thinking Saturday or Sunday, perhaps BOTH!! Lemme know if your getting out there this weekend!
About how far out were you guys? I have a 14.5' Monark and never been on lake erie with it. I'd be interested to try, if the bite is close to the breakwall. I only have a 15hp on it.
I've seen plenty of people out with less. If the lake is not rough, and you have some experience, you should be ok. Most of the larger pleasure boats will not be in yet, so that will help. They throw some pretty large wakes that can shake the you know what out of you. Just watch the weather and have, at least, a handheld radio. You'll need more than a mushroom anchor also.
