Conneaut Lake

Dave Lehman (Espyville); filed 11/9: “Chad and I fished Conneaut today. We ended up
with two of each of the following species: smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and pike.
Our bigger fish were as follows: Chad caught a 4 pound smallmouth and 3-3/4 pound
largemouth; I got a 3-1/4 pound smallmouth.” (See photos above)

Marilyn Black (Cochranton); filed 11/8: “It was a tough bite on Conneaut Lake on Sunday.
Too nice – bluebird sky and flat as a windless summer day and water temp still in the mid
-50s. I caught one pike on a Rapala X-Rap and Darl caught one smallmouth bass on a
Jimmy D River Bug hair jig. No crappies were observed schooled over deep points and
humps yet.”

Bob Grinarml (Cambridge Springs); filed 11/6: “I fished Conneaut Lake on the 5th. The
weather was beautiful. But the fishing was poor…just a few panfish. The weedbeds are
dying back making them difficult to fish. Pieces of dead weeds were constantly snagged
on hooks.”

ERIE COUNTY

Lake Erie
Dan @ Elk Creek Sports; filed 11/9: “Most lake anglers have winterized their boats, but if
you have an outboard you should be taking advantage of some excellent fishing on the
lake right now. One of my customers was out on the main lake during a calm day this
past week. He caught a 36 pound catfish, a 7.5 pound smallmouth bass, and his limit of
perch. Perch fishing on the lake is great if you can get out!”

Mark Hughes (Saegertown); filed 11/7: “Darl, I was out on Lake Erie on November 5th.
We fished out of North East; weather was nice for boating. We caught 14 smallmouth
bass; biggest was 2.5 pounds. We caught them on drop-shot rigs in 30 to 35 feet of wa-
ter. We also landed one 10 pound lake trout. We lost three other lakers that pulled off
our blade baits. Water temp was in the upper 50s.”
