    Brief Description

    Catching bass in the fall on Lake Erie often isn't the problem, it's catching those big 5-7 lb fish consistently that isn't easy. I've guided on Lake Erie for almost a decade and fished it for two decades. When targeting big bass in the fall, the presentation and the areas can make all the difference in having a good day (20-23 lbs) or having a great day (24-30+ lbs). In this tip, I'll talk about some depths, structures, techniques, and a couple areas to help you put more big smallmouth in the boat on your fall trip up to Lake Erie in Pennsylvania.

    Frequently asked questions

    FishTips is a fishing information platform built to maximize the success of your fishing trips! Connect directly with dialed-in digital fishing guides for hyper-current digital guiding, training, & fishing reports!

    FishTips began with fishing guides and top tournament anglers posting tips that were detailed game plans on exactly how they would guide someone. Guides take anglers to fishing spots on every trip, so creating a digital version of a guide trip on FishTips was a natural way for guides to guide, train, and educate even more anglers online. Perhaps their boat broke down, had a bad weather day, or it was the offseason, the FishTips platform attracted hundreds of digital fishing guides that wanted to provide their same high level of customer experience and deep knowledge of their fisheries in a digital format to help even more anglers! As we grew, we received feedback from both digital guides and customers for other types of informative fishing products to help anglers stay up to date on their fisheries or learn new places to fish. We are excited to now offer premium subscription channels for the latest fishing updates and hyper-current fishing reports. FishTips also has training videos for digital guides to share in-depth videos on exactly how they approach a fishery or how they break it down before they even get there.
