| | Janny and Papineau take Day 1 Lead at the Cabela's MWC event on Lake Erie out of Dunkirk, NY.
Day 1 is in the books and it was a Lake Erie rodeo with strong SSW winds 15-20 MPH kicking up solid 2'-4' waves (and larger).
Most teams seemed to be pulling spinner blades and crawler harnesses "low and slow" in deep water ranging from 40' - 60' and running 4-8 miles offshore.
The heavy waves made it tough work to keep larger fish on and a lot of teams were whispering about losing big fish early in the day only to end up weighing smaller “keepers” to make the 5 fish limit.
Weather conditions are not looking promising for a Saturday launch with WSW winds ranging 14-20 MPH predicted.
Sunday is reserved as a “Blow Day” in the event that weather prohibits a Saturday launch.
