May 23 – 25 fish report – Lake Erie on Fire
Lake Erie is on fire, Todd and Lori from Ft Lauderdale, Florida, come up to cash in on Lake Erie gold, and they crushed 100 plus smallmouth. A fantastic three days on #lakeerie with Capt Mark Rose. We save the best for the last day, ten over 4lbs, five over 5lbs, and countless 3lbers. This was the biggest at 5.8 lbs. A great city and experience highly recommended to all my angler friends.

Explored last by Europeans. Louis Joliet, a French explorer, is credited with its discovery in 1669
The water temp is generally in the low 70s in the summer, which makes Lake Erie on fire and quite a popular area. While in winter, the temperatures drop to freezing, and the water freezes over more than any other of the Great Lakes because of how shallow it is. The average depth is around 62 feet the maximum depth is 210 feet.
In the lake’s shallowest area, Water is around 25 to 30 feet, which allows strong winds to kick up powerful waves.

Lake Erie on fire was formed by a receding glacier making it relatively young — around 4,000 years old.
