COVID has messed up a lot of things for most of us. We had two weeks of Lake Erie fishing scheduled last year and had to move to 2021 when Ohio shut down out of towners coming in to fish. Fortunately, Mark Cahlik at Bays Edge allowed us to move our deposits from 2019 to…
We enjoyed a big day fishing with Strike Zone Charters out of Maalaea Harbor on Friday, August 6th! The event included members from son-in-law, John Berry’s, family along with Matt Speicher and Dan Chapman from our Maui condo. Our family’s were on the island for a week celebrating a renewal of wedding vows for Amy…
The fishing trip actually started 3 days prior to our departure to Lake Superior. My son called me in the evening and informed me that I would need to get a Wisconsin license and Wisconsin Trout Stamp. The next day I proceeded over to Hudson Wisconsin to get both license and stamp completed. This being…
The third and final NWT tournament for me was held on Lake Erie late June. Because of a family commitment, I’m unable to fish the Mobridge, SD event later this month and will not have enough “points” to make the Championship in late September. Back to Huron. I drove our Lance truck camper on our…
It’s been a long, long time since I fished a weather shortened walleye tournament event but the rough weather at Sturgeon Bay, WI, made up for it this past week! Our rules/registration meeting on Wednesday found the flag whipping in the wind and the NWT pros a little edgy after a sketchy pre-fish looking for…
Our local walleye fishing club, CRANDIC, is having a tournament out of Dubuque, IA on June 6th. Its been years since I’ve fished Pool 12 which extends from Lock and Dam 12 located at Bellevue, IA upstream over 26 miles to Loack and Dam 11 at Dubuque. On Friday, the 21st, campground friend Steve Ballou…
Go West young man…that’s where the walleyes are! How true for our practice before and during the first NWT event of the 2021 season at Chamberlain,Oacoma, S.D. I pulled Ranger Pro Steve Miller’s Ranger 620 boat over to Kimball, S.D. where we met good friend and fellow angler, Steve Schaefer. Steve live in Sioux Falls…
Spring has finally sprung here in Kingston, Ontario. While the ice had mostly gone off the big lake a few weeks ago, it was hanging on in some of the bays and marinas in the area. We have extreme low water right now and very little usable boat ramps to service us. Low and behold…
“I need to get out of Chicago!”, exclaimed my good friend, Tom Harrison early March. “I need to get out of Cedar Rapids!”, I added. We solved our fishing itch by heading to the Illinois River for a couple days late last week. Tom got his 16-foot Lund Fury out of storage and brought it…
Happy New Year everyone. Up in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, we have had a very mild start to winter and virtually all of Lake Ontario is still ice free. Although the boat ramps have spent some days iced in, this week they broke up and cleared the way for us to venture out for a New…
