Erie Surprise

Well, Steve and I hit the lake early on Thursday to avoid the heat, but that didn't work after 10 am lol


we trolled and trolled but all we saw is gin clear water....don't really like that

fish wee active andvwe marked lots and got hits from stuff we did not expect


still had a riot out there

a couple of pics.........we were on the us side as water was way warmer

surprise fish........got it flatlining

got a few bass trolling as well..did not expect that either


here's one we just had to weigh......5.12 pounds

all the fish hit hard and fought like crazy......bsss released of course, but the bow came home for dinner


sorry, no more pics.we are really bad at taking photos


great fun with a good buddy

The fish on the Canadian side taste better. LOL.

but they arer 35% smaller

Nothing better than Great Lakes trolling! Never know what’s going to bite. Nice fishes guy’s!🙂

Are you supposed to pay duty on that rainbow when coming back across?
I thought they frowned upon bringing crossing the border with meat products

I started laughing when I read this, I thought you were joking. Then I thought wait is this an honest question? It really could be.

You can bring meat products across the boarder no issue. The boarder really frown upon bring live invasive species across.
In this case anyone can cross the border by boat and fish in US waters with a U.S. license and catch and retain their catch following harvest limits. Yes you can bring them back no issue. 👍🏻

you guys are hilarious


anyway, it was a canuck fish cause it burped EH a few times

Looks like a great day, conditions certainly were hot the last few days.

Priceless.

Arnie

LOL Great catch! Nice bonus bow!

That bass is a tank.

Thanks for the report.. Stay cool..

Cheers & happy fishing..
