Two jitterbugs, a hula popper and an in line buzz bait.... Very used condition... The last one looks like a popper of some kind.... Which the hula popper is basically the same type of lure.... Heavily used back in the day for bass with lots of pike/musky action on them.... Great dusk to dawn lure as the bass will at times tear them up.....
Here's a link too some info

I have safety training this week and the easiest way to where its held is up 83 through the heart of AEP. I took Flutey's advice and bought me a Pflueger President reel with a new 6'6" medium action rod yesterday, so I got up at 5 this morning to be at a pond by 6 to test it out for a little while before training. The first cast I lost a new spinner on a log; not a good start. Switched to a Rappala and caught a few smalls one. Once I stuck the rooster tail on there, it got fun. Nothing huge, but a fun morning!

Damn! I'd piss myself catching fish like that!!!

Fishing Erie makes every other lake pail in comparison.... Gern can attest too that.... The Ohio River is good for #'s but no where near the size.... The only bad thing is Erie can be a nasty lake too fish at times in the smaller boats... Guys with the bigger boats can go out in 4-5' waves where we'd be stuck in the break walls catching smaller fish then on the main lake....

I used too handle 3-4's in my boat but it just beats me up too much these days....

awesome J and Jesse! I went on the Ohio with a couple buddies last night. Didn't get on any real big ones, but we had a lot of fun. These were the biggest two.

I'm peanut butter and jealous J.

Those were some nice River cats you had Marcus.... Erie is a long haul for us when you take in account the drive up and back after 9-11 hours on the water..... The river is 30 minutes away and offers a lot of good fishing as well..... Just not the 4-5 pound ones lol.....

Spent most of the day Saturday on the water at AEP. Fishing was slow, but we had a good time. Took a few pics of the scenery and my best catches. Hard to believe some of the scenes up there are from Ohio!

Lake erie is an amazing fishery...produces great catches day in and day out consistently. Yes it can be an unforgiving lake at times, that's why you go prepared and go in a good sized boat...We caught 48 walleyes between me and a buddy's boat Saturday morning in about 3 hours...
