Only had a few minutes to fish today, so I went to my favorite shore spot on Lake Erie to cast around, ended up catch 3 fish within 10 minutes in a staging hole that I know of. GPG TRD does some major work here on Erie especially with the water being a bit dingier due to boat traffic and that was the deal! The 1/8 oz head helped keep the bait of the rocks and keep the slim away due to it building up.

Targeted super finicky staging fish getting ready to move up into the spawn. That little juvy craw cracked some good ones!
