Fished the bay Sunday....wt 39 @ 8am 45 @ 2pm. Caught 13 smallies, smallest 2.5 lbs. biggest over 5lbs. A slow start turned in to a good day. 12 to 20 ft of water. Air temp 34-42 degrees

BassmasterP,
Question ? I've going up to L.Erie every year for 4 years now around the middle of May, have yet to find any large smallmouth in Misery or Horse Shoe, I would think they would be in there to spawn. Usally nothing but L. Mouth. I spend a lot of time in the bay,since my 171/2 footer doesn't handle big water to well, and neither does my stomach. Any advice?

I doubt if you'll ever catch them in that shallow of water with out deep water near by........in the bay though, if you find baitfish, you'll find the smallies.............from what I've read , they claim it's hard to locate a bedding smally, they'll spawn in up to 25' of water.........hope this helps

Your right, I'm used to fishing the Susquhenna and water dept isn't that big a deal..
Are you familar with the area called the W's, I understand they put a boat ramp in there any truth?

I haven't read or seen anything on the net about it.....
