Conneaut Lake

Marilyn Black (Cochranton); filed 8/7: Darl and I fished Conneaut Lake
this morning for a couple hours to check on the crappies. The bite is still
on! Bobby Garland Baby Shads and Brewer Crappie Sliders did the trick.
Darl is offering a deal on late summer guide trips to Conneaut for blue-
gills and crappies from August 15 to Labor Day – a Back to School Special
for a parent or grandparent and child! All equipment is provided. Send
Darl an email at darlblack@windstream.com for details. (See photo)

Bob Grinarml (Cambridge Springs); filed 8/4: We have left the humps of Conneaut Lake
and are now trying the weedlines. We caught bluegills, rock bass and perch – but no crap-
pies. Got chased off by boat traffic!

Canadohta Lake
Jerry @ Timberland Bait and Tackle; filed 8/8: Some of the locals have been picking up
walleyes by trolling worm harnesses tight to the weedline of cabbage beds. A few pike are
being caught as well. I also have reports of anglers catching smallmouth bass at the Union
City Dam outflow. Also reports of muskies being caught in upper French Creek on night-
crawlers fished in the deeper holes. The BIG NEWS is our Kids Fishing Tournament at Tim-
berland Bait & Tackle Pond beside the shop. It is this Saturday, August 13th from 6 pm to 8
pm. No fee, no pre-registration. Just come on over, check in, go fish and maybe win a
prize!

Bill Logan (Pleasantville); filed 8/7: I fished Canadohta twice last week. No musky action,
but landed one bass and lost a bass on both trips. One bass was a nice 2-pound small-
mouth!

ERIE COUNTY

Presque Isle Bay
Mike @ Lake Erie Bait & Tackle; filed 8/8: The Bay is pretty quiet. The water is very warm
so perch and smallmouth bass are gone, and crappies are shut down. A few guys are
catching largemouth bass. A friend just called to say he was catching walleyes in the Lake
at 70 to 80 feet of water out between the Condos and Lighthouse. Perch are hit and miss.
A highly unusual event is happening on the lake right now: perch fishermen are catching
small walleyes – 10 to 12 inch walleyes. Something no one has seen happen in a very long
