@@adambriggs7032 thank you! And very true. I still get in the moment sometimes and forget. Then I’m kicking myself. So critical, especially on the big water.
I’m going to Erie next week with my bass boat. But my bass boat doesn’t have any electronics yet except for an old hummingbird with gps and waypoint marks. I’m going to the west side right under the islands Do you have any tips when it comes to lures and spots around that area? Thanks 🙏
Haven’t fished the islands myself, but the basic principles would be the same, adjusted for conditions. Crawler harnesses are always a solid choice. When using hard body baits, if the water is clear, use more natural looking patterns (perch is a popular color). If the water is stained, brighter, flashy colors are best.
I grew up on the western basin around the islands. 60s until 2018. The very first thing I was taught as a very young boy...zig zag. Call me jaded but I can honestly say I have never fished a body of water on the great lakes that can match Erie for walleye
