King Trip with the Old Man

[ErieBuck]

Being new to the fishery, need a little help as I'm planning my second trip to Lake O but this time with my 74 year old dad. It's time for me to repay him for all the times he took me fishing as a kid on Lake Erie!  How far into September does the fishing stay good closer to shore for the big matures?  My Dad can't handle rough seas anymore so I don't want to have to take him out to 500 FOW to find fish.  We are thinking about launching out of Wilson, seems like a good central point for the action with some restaurants and a few places to stay.  We will get a slip at one of the marinas and stay 3 days of fishing.  Looks like the boat launch is at the state park, so not as convenient as the set up at Olcott where I launched last time, but Wilson might be a little more comfortable for him.  Let me know if you guys have any advice and thank you in advance!!

The east end usually is decent through most of September. Tough year so far this year though

wonder if it will be a little delayed this year with the hotter summer

I was just reading fish caught off Oswego still had small firm eggs. I hope it is because right now should be very good this time of year.
