Lake Erie currently provides some of the the best smallmouth bass fishing in the Northeastern United States. The last five NY state record smallmouths have come from Lake Erie, with the current record standing at 8 lbs., 4 oz. Anglers can also enjoy an early bass season on Lake Erie, which runs from the 1st Saturday in May until the 3rd Saturday in June. During this early season, there is a one fish limit and 15" minimum size requirement. It is a real possibilty that the next record smallmouth bass will be caught here in the near future.
