Heading to Lake Erie in the morning

[MagikSmallie]

This time of year barring a storm you should be okay with the winds. Spring and Oct-Nov are the worst for the winds up there. but a 15-25 MPH can bring some mighty waves that make KY Lake look a mud puddle, a marine radio is a great thing to have, you get in trouble up there with no friends close by to help you out that radio can save your life!

Where do you get some soft craws around here?

[MagikSmallie]

I'm not sure around here. But in Port Clinton, OH there is a tackle shop called Rickard's Bait and Tackle (419) 734-2496. They have soft craws and other tackle.

I don't know where to get them around here either. I haven't fished for smallies up there yet just walleye. I was just telling you what my charter captain suggested to me if we should come up there for smallmouth.

i havent been able to get "soft" craws this year but i am getting plenty of "blue" craws which always seemed to catch fish as well as the soft ones, just my opinion....i have had people in the same boat with me argue this point while i was catching fish for fish with them so....????

already home with a limit of nice kys this morning on SMALL blue craws and the sun has only been up awhile and its not smokin hot yet

Cool, I'll be glad when I get my van back so I can get my boat out again. My front wheel bearings are shot.
