    Portage river or Mosquito lake?

    I'm going largemouth bass fishing this Tuesday. It's going to be 80 degrees out. Should I fish Portage river or mosquito. Also any lure tips? I was thinking Ned rig or 1/4 ounce jigs.

    I'll be at mosquito on Tuesday. Pre fishing for tourny. Hopefully its on because its a 2.5hr drive each way. Tourny there last Saturday and they caught them but someone always catches them there no matter how the bite is.

    Shallow lake - any close to due north or due south winds make it miserable...

    Portage river empties into Lake Erie next to Sandusky bay. Portage Lakes is a series of smaller lakes Near Akron Ohio, 1hr 20 min from Sandusky

    I’ll be on portage lakes tues afternoon - practice for upcoming tournament, otherwise I’d be on Erie!

    Got it. You were correct about mosquito or telling that dude to go to Portage river. We struggled at mosquito badly. Never fished it pre-spawn before. Only post and summer.

    Thanks for all of the advise. I fished Portage river today. I only fished for 2 hours. I threw a 1/4 ounce jig for the first hour. No bites at all. The second hour I threw a chatterbait with paddle tail trailer. Caught three. The one in the bottom of the boat is a 3lber. The 2nd fish is 3.5lbs and the last girl was over 4lbs. The camera doesn't do them justice.
