I get up to the Western Basin (Port Clinton, OH) area from time to time, but not Pennsylvania. Western Basin is about a 5 1/2 hour drive from where I live in Indianapolis, IN.
i have fished erie since the mid 80's.most of my fishing there is done in the fall,i really enjoy the peace and quiet of perch fishing.every fall i take 2 weeks off and get up there just to get away from it all and repair my humor!
