    Next, is John Grosvenor of Iowa, who will be reporting on Lake Okoboji. A bit about John, he guides out of an area bait shop called “Oh Shucks”, primarily fishing/guiding West Lake Okoboji. He does fish other lakes in his area but will keep EFN very well informed on this, his “home body of water”. Welcome to our staff, John.

    As Jason Glatz can tell you, that fish is fairly common for the November run on Erie out of Huron, Ohio. I was with Bill Henkel of Vib-“E” Lures that day and we boated over 30 in a few hours. Only 3 were under 5# and we had 2 over 10#. Nearly all came on Reef Runners (mostly Orange Crush) 35 feet back off boards over 24 feet of water. The active fish were in the top 6 to 8 feet of the water column. We did pick up a couple of fish on Lil’ Rippers, 125 feet back off the boards. We went to stock the freezer for the Winter and wanted to find those 2 and 3 pounders. Even though we released all of our biggest fish (including the one I’m holding. It’s twisting out of my hands as the pic was taken), we still had to bring some fish home way bigger than we like to keep for eating. It’s a tough life, huh? Lol. Poor Jason, he has to live right there and fish all the time.

    A flat Erie is rare! I like to run around in the boat when the lake is like that but I hate fishing in those conditions. The last time I fished a flat Erie I put in over 10 hours for one bite; caught me by surprise, lol, so I missed the fish……naturally.
