Two of us decided that Simcoe is too close and bass is too small and went to Erie. Hey, it's only 3 hours drive for me, and Simcoe is my backyard pool, so why the heck not?
We were at a bait store around 5 AM and the second boat to launch.


It didn't help much. Whatever we were throwing at it was mostly ignored. Or picked up by perch-size guys you need a second pair of glasses to unhook

Six 1-1.5 pounders we finally kept were taken on cranks after too much labor. So I personally wasn't that impressed by "renowned" Erie bass fishery. Admittedly, locals were doing better, though
But fishing aside it was a fun trip and an interesting experience. For example variety and number of boats on the lake is amazing
