Erie with Ben 12/19-20

Andrea was meeting up with her gal pak from home in Buffalo for the weekend, so she dropped me off with fishing gear in Erie. Spent a few days with Ben trying to catch some steelies before the streams froze up. Got a late start after taking 3 and a half hours to get from Pittsburgh to Erie because of a snow storm, got started around noon on 20 mile. Ben landed a couple, then I hooked into a hawg.



Fished 20 for a while, then headed over to 16, met up with Logan and his buddy, lower 16 was devoid of fish, so we headed to the Walnut Project waters around 430pm. walked up to the chutes, very few fish seen. Hooked up with one, but it shook lose after a short battle. Things were starting to freeze up. Got showered and warmed up at Ben's place then went to Night Flights where the cold Labatts and Cajun Ranch wings hit several spots.
Up early on Sunday we headed to 16 mile. Had a few hook ups all day, none landed... Also tried at 12 mile, to no avail before meeting back with Andrea and making the 2 hour commute to Grandma's for dinner.
