Most recent trip out on Lake Erie was beyond Tough. We took to the shallows for roamers and spawners looking for transition lines from Sand to Rock/Gravel. Upon finding these areas we started winding Feider Flys and catching most of our fish. Slightly ticking the bottom after a long cast did the trick.
