most of the bigger fish came out of 19 to 24 ft .fishing over rocky flats ,or staging areas. casting or verticle jigging tubes .live bait was a good bait to use also.
deeper smallies were more scattered. isolated boulders with chunk rock mixed in held the deeper fish . some of the deeper fish were holding on breaks ,with a 3 to 4ft change in depth.
as the water gets warmer fishing will get even better.

lake erie is one of the best smallmouth lakes in the country, . also muskies and largemouth bass in the niagara river .

awesome info, thank you, quick question if I may....Buffalo Harbour seems very protected. I am looking at going for some smallies on Saturday as the schedule (and the wife) finally permits it, however it looks like an ugly weather day. We wouldn`t be going out in to the main lake, only staying in the inside of the breakwalls..Your thoughts / experiences would be appreciated on a day in 20mph winds inside the walls...thx in advance
