Caught the biggest green sunfish of my life today! A whopping 4"! Lol but in my defense they're all stunted in the river.
Seems like I've ran into you again lolThanks, raubiy! I often feel under skilled when I read the Erie fishing reports and see guys catching 50-300 perch in a matter of hours lol.
right I thought he was a sucker until I grabbed him!Beast!
You seems to be catching much bigger fish this year, than last haha. Did you ever get out after pike?Another good weekend on the lake, caught 19 myself and we took my little cousin out for half a day earlier today and she caught 2. Headed up Friday morning and stopped at Geneva marsh to fish with no luck. After we got to Erie it was to rough to troll Friday so we drift fished and jigged in the bay and caught 9 fish. Mainly Drum with a few Moronids and an 8" 'Gill. Shore fished that night and set my personal weight record for Drum at 7 pounds (25"), few more hits but nothing after that. Saturday we trolled at "The Mountain" for about 7-8 hours in hopes of Lake Trout or Steelhead but instead just caught 2 white bass (although they were 12" and 15") and an awesome 24" 7 pound Steelhead (my first steelhead that wasn't a YOY smolt)! Finally, headed west today in search of Walleye and trolled for around 7 hours, caught a lot of rough including some White Bass, (surprisingly) a small Yellow Perch, and 4 Drum with the largest weighing in at a massive 28" 10 pounds (largest caught in PA in two years and broke my personal Drum weight record again!)Great weekend and be back next one (mainly to install new curtains on the boat but hopefully troll a bit if there's time)!

Yeah definitely . The addition of downriggers on our boat is really helping us score bigger fish in Erie. And as far as stream fishing goes, I'm just getting better at fly fishing so I'm getting bigger fish more consistently now. Overall not as many fish as last year number wise but size wise this year has been the best of my life so far and I'll gladly take quality over quantity haha. And yeah I've been out a few times for pike so far, mainly at Geneva marsh which has mainly northerns with some Muskies in the mix. But so far, nothing from Geneva but Bowfin. I just suck at pike lol.You seems to be catching much bigger fish this year, than last haha. Did you ever get out after pike?
