American Fishing Series Northern Division To Host Event On Lake Erie
ERIE, PA - The FLW American Fishing Series is headed to Lake Erie September 9-11 for the last of three stops in the Northern Division series. As many as 300 pro and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $25,000 plus a Ranger boat with an Evinrude or Yamaha outboard motor and up to $15,000, respectively.“It’s not the primo time of year to be on Erie, but the weights are always going to be big here,” said Chevy pro Dave Lefebre of Union City, Pa.
Lefebre said drop-shot rigs and light line will be necessary for fishermen fishing deep for smallmouth.
“There could be some fish caught shallow, but the majority of fish will be caught 25 feet deep or deeper,” Lefebre said. “And it’s possible someone could catch 25 pounds a day.”
