Top water fishing on Lake Erie

I took my dad out on Lake Erie in our canoe as the water was really calm today. We were out by Nanticoke and the topwater bite was on! The fish were smashing my heddon torpedo and I landed my biggest smallmouth to date at 4.3 lbs, plus a few others in the 2.5-3.9 lb range. The average size was incredible once again, but the fishing was a bit slower than last Sunday.
I have a feeling these bass will be heading to deeper water shoals soon!
Oh and my dad landed his biggest bass ever and had a great time. I haven`t been fishing with him since last fall so it was a nice outing for both of us!

Those are some beauties! I've always had good luck there myself.

Congratulations on the fish and good on you for taking your dad fishing!

Love hitting smallies on topwater! And those are some nice brown bass. Well done getting out there in the Canoe.

That is a killer bait for topwater smallmouth.

A good largemouth explosion on top is good but nothing beats a smallmouth clearing 3 ft of water on the strike!

Good fishing makes for some great time with the old man

Hahah! I just posted about taking my old man fishing, then I see this one! Good for you man. Nice fish for you and dad.

Those are some beauty bass.

Wicked !
