First time on lake Erie, I followed the advice from this board and went out to 60 fow, quite a bumpy ride today, and started with 2 riggers down 35 and 45ft, one dipsy #3 150 ft back and leadcore 10 colors out.I found out very quickly that my heavy rods and line from lake Ontario won't work here, so I switched to liter rod and line(15 lb) and here is my first eye about 5 lb on rigger with a bodybait green with black stripes, very much like a perch. Switched to a even liter rod and line (8 lb) and got another eye 7.3lb, very long leads 140 ft on riggers. At the end if the day I can say it's a totally different game than lake Ontario. I tried several speeds and I found the one that worked for me 3.1 mph at the ball. Lots of bait fish. How long is the season going for eyes?
