Lake Erie was suffering from a severe hang over from HEAVY North East winds all night and calming in the morning. With 4-5' Rollers coming from the North East, most fish were staged shallow and on structure. We found our best bites using a 3.5" Coffee tube (Gr Pumpkin) and a Bite Me Tube Jig 3/8oz. Had some quality fish on the Ned Rig with a Gr Pumpkin TRD. It was a tough day on the lake in general, but with work; you found the fish that were chewin.
