I read a magazine article about channels in erie. It was only as specific as an article could be though. Fish the verticle structure around the bay, channels, dock areas and stone wave breakers. The water is warm enough for channels to be hitting already, if not at their peak, which should be in summer. I am not too familiar with the popular baits up there, but I have heard from more than one charter captain that they caught 20+ pound channels while trolling lures deep for steelies or lake trout.
I would assume that the standard array of baits would work. I have always had the most luck with fresh chicken livers. I have never gotten a single bite on the 3 types of dough baits that I have bought....that stuff is worthless.
