Erie produced 26 nice fish this weekend including Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Drum (Sheaphead), White Bass, White Perch, and a few other species. Started out Friday night by pier fishing by the cottage and got several nice white bass, white perch, and a decent smallmouth. Saturday we trolled for a few hours in the morning until storms rolled in but still managed a 12" white bass and a MONSTER 30" 12 pound Walleye for which I'm turning in an application for an award to the fish commission because it's the biggest recorded in PA for the 2015 season. After storms stirred up the lake we headed in to the bay for drift fishing and we caught a decent Bluegill, am awesome 24" 6 pound Drum, and a trophy 20" 5 pound Smallmouth Bass which I'm also submitting an application for. Pier fished later that night and caught a white bass and a trophy 12" white perch. And finally today (Sunday) after seeing large 30" swells and whitecaps rolling in the lake we decided it wasn't worth trying to troll so we headed over to Walnut Creek to catch whatever we could and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Started with a decent Drum then moved upstream to a new honey hole and caught several Steelhead smolts, small creek chubs, a pair of pesky round gobies (invasive), and three beast Smallmouth Bass (two were 16" ~3 lbs and the last one was 18" ~4 lbs). There were also many darters in the creek that were hopping around my legs and feet as I waded in the creek having forgotten my waders sat home. Great weekend and heading back next weekend for some more Walleye, Bass, and Drum action. Plus whatever else wants to hit
