Storm Warning II

Now I just wish that silly Lake would warm up...QUICKLY! At the rate we are going, we won't see any schoolie eyes here at the eastern end of the Central Basin till JULY!

We typically "spoon" feed our steelies. The only times we really target them are when they school w/ the eyes in DEEP water staging for their charge to the trib mouths. Then we fish the trib mouths with spoons and sticks and the Bay in the spring w/ spoons and sticks. I guess if I felt the need to catch JUST steelies I would run a flasher/fly

Thanks for the welcomes! We primarily target 'eyes and steelies on Lake Erie in the Central Basin (Conneaut, OH and Erie, PA). However, we do love to do battle with the Kings. As a matter of fact, got on the board this morning to try to get some juice on the Bar. We did well up there a couple weeks ago, but the reports have been pretty quiet off the Bar in the last few days. We usually like to make 3 or 4 pilgrimages to the Big O a year. 2 or 3 in the spring and Labor Day weekend to Olcott for the big returning bruisers.

Hello All,

My name is Matt Cannon and I am the co-owner of the Storm Warning II, along with my co-owner Jimmy Zarembinski. It is a boat that we purchased a few years ago from a friend who had recently passed away. The Storm is a 23 1/2 foot Starcraft Holiday that we have totally refurbished including 175 Evinrude overhaul and 20 hp Evinrude kicker overhaul. Replaced all the flooring, new seats, and replaced the transom. Whew! What a load of manhours and $$ that was. As part of our sales agreement, when she was seaworthy, we took the Storm's former owner's ashes and spread them across the first trench off Erie, PA. I think Jack still fishes with us on every trip.

Look forward to sharing reports and insight with all of you.
