Tenkara on Lake Erie

(OH)

I caught my personal best Goby at Lake Erie this Fall. Tenkara is a bit risky on this large body of water as you never know when a large sheepshead or Smallmouth Bass may try to wreck your rod. 1 lb tippet, size 24 Tiemco hook with a small piece of worm. Your site is awesome BTW.

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.
