I live in SE PA, so not really too close. Have not fished Mosquito but I know several guys that do, but they are all walleye guys. I have fished Erie every spring for 27 or so years. I usually launch out of Northeast or the Presque Islse. I will be there from April 26 to May 6. I have never launched out of Ohio, so I would not be any help over there. I will also be at Erie June 14 – 17. The big smallies are usually up in late April or Early May. Presque Islse Bay is a great largemouth fisherie once the weather warms up. If I can be of any help, let me know.
