Re: LAKE ERIE
I actually live in Leamington. But noone knows where that is so I just put Windsor.<br /><br />You should be fine. I hope you have a VHF radio too. <br /><br />I run a 20' bassboat out there and have been out in some nasty weather. I'm never worried about IF I can get back it is always a question of when. Take your time out there, hti the waves at a 45 degree angle and don't power thru them. It's not good for you or the boat. Depending on the chop you can ride over top of them but this takes practice. If you get swells take your time.<br /><br />Watch the weather report and be smart. You should be fine with your boat since it is a deeper hull than mine I'm sure.<br /><br />I had a buddy who lives in Colchester who runs a 16' Lund out there in anything his stomach can handle. Just be smart. if you don't feel confident about your abilities and the water, there is always tomorrow.<br /><br />Try some Mizmo 5.5" and 4" tubes in Sand, Erie Green, Goby, Watermelon Red flake, Natural Craw for the smallies. Fish them on the bottom, dragging... with tube heads. 1/4oz, 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz.<br /><br />Cast 3/8 oz Erie Deeries for the 'eyes.<br /><br />Frank
