I wont be out there to fish the tourn. But I may be out there fishing. Lake Erie is really an amazing body of water. It really is nothing to average 7#’s or bigger. There are two patterns in the spring, the jig bite and the trolling bite. Jig bite is typically smaller males and the open water bite is for big fish. You’ll be fishing the trolling bite in the tournament. Everything depends on water clarity and lake Erie can be tempermental. If the conditions are right your in for a trip of a life time.
