Ignore the face lol sun was brutal but the fishing was great for 2 hrs or so around 12. Wife and boy both hooked nice 3 + largemouth and sunfish and perch constantly...musky didn't want to bite today so I didn't catch anything much. Good day on the boat will go again this week sometime to try afternoon instead of am...I'll post catch pics when the wife sends them

What a great picture! A family having fun fishing together is what this world needs more of! So cool on so many levels.

Thanks grampy we actually fish a few times a week together I'm glad they actually like to. Helps when I say let's go fishing and everyone agrees

The fishing has been a bit slow in my area lately as well. But even a slow family fishing day beats sitting around watching TV! Nice picture!

I've always done well on Case and Harwood, no gas motors allowed though

Yea I fish Harwood quite a bit too. I'm running electric only trolling motor so no problem there but the seaweed on Harwood last time I was there was a nightmare with the kids.

I have had good luck on Cuba lake during the day, fishing the edges and deep inside the weedbeds, with a big rubber weedless bass jig tipped with a rubber shad bait.   Black, purple and blue are the best colors.   There are some monster smallmouth and northern pike in there, plus the occasional walleye or largemouth bass.   On my last trip there with a canoe, I got beat up a bit from all the boat traffic on a Saturday, but hooked into a fat 21" smallmouth, deep in a weedbed.   I did not have a camera, so I hooked it on a stringer and pulled it across the lake to a friend's cottage for a photo, before releasing.   It was strong enough to spin that canoe around a few times before I reached the opposite shore.    

 

Another pattern that works well there is a Heddon torpedo or tiny torpedo cast along the shoreline after dark.   Largemouth bass and even an occasional walleye have gone for that.   With heavy boat traffic by day, the action picks up after dark.  If you boat does not have lights, you can pick up a pair that work on flashlight batteries fairly cheap.

My neighbor is a walleye fisherman primarily and said the eye fishing in Cuba and Erie have been stellar this year...yet none for me lol idk where they are and I desperately need a depth/fish finder

The fish always used to stay pretty shallow in Cuba lake over the summer, so a good pair of polarized glasses would probably do you more good there than a fish-finder.  They make the weedbeds easy to see from the boat.  I have done ok during the day there on walleyes, using a weedless bass jig, tipped with a live leech, inside the weed-beds.   Use about 3/8 oz and let it sink below the surface weedmat.   Now they have installed sewers around most of the lake however, so that may allow more oxygen down deep where a fishfinder would work for you, and they are almost a necessity on Erie.

Leeches one bait I haven't tried this year. You name it I've tried it other than that

Just realized this was the last tiger muskie I ever caught from Lime Lake.

I used to run out along the tracks and just zing a stickbait out as far as I could and rip them back to the dock as fast as I could.

Take a swig of beer and repeat,lol
