The net stake notations on marine charts typically do not cause problems. These are what you want to keep an eye out for.

Easy to see on calm days, but not so easy when it's rough out.

Know...

If you see a strobe light activated on shore by Camp Perry (which is by the two windmills on that shore), call the Camp Perry Safety Officer on channel 16. He will direct you to another channel to...

Did you try the "Mint Condition"? :)

Yes, I know how to pop the line. I do it the same way.

Just moving the spring in the OR-19s (orange releases that come with the boards), to the middle position, reduces the tension, making it...

Sorry, this one is late, due to family being in town, and my entertaining them while they are here. They are still sleeping this morning, so I thought I would catch up a little.

A quick recap of...

Negligible in my opinion...I don't bother changing anything. I just make sure my reels are calibrated, so all my reels are the same, or very close to the same.

I had tried it, while fun fishing with a friend, a couple of falls ago, just to test it out, but the line I was previously using (Sunline Supernatural 20#), broke while trying to release the front...

After too many days off, I was back to work this morning. WoooHoooo!

I have family in town, and staying at my house for the week, so my morning routine is a little off, and I was trying to be...

Good luck, and let us know your findings. I'll be off the water that day, because some of my family is coming down from Wisconsin to view it. My sister doesn't like to fish...:)

Well, this report is not what I wanted to report after being off for since my last trip on March 3rd.

I usually don't schedule trips until the last week of March, but Mother Nature had given us a...

I’ve only got that one, so I’ll need 3 more, please…😬

I didn’t see it listed on your website, or maybe I missed it?

Let me know..thanks!

Not yet, but there are two permanent cement courtesy docks there to tie off to. No worries...:)

Woke up early, and did the usual morning routine, before heading to the building where my boat is staying warm and dry, to pick her up.

Eric was on his second day of fishing with me, and was...

After a good 8 hours of sleep, I got up at 2am to have my coffee, check the weather apps, and get the dog outside to relieve himself. The weather apps informed me of a decent morning ahead. It was...

Thanks for the offer, but I don't run a big 6-pack boat, so I don't have room for a first mate/deck hand...sorry... :)

Typically, I'm not usually out this early, but by the end of March there are certainly fish on the north side of Kelly's. Another friend was up there last week, and caught some. It's worth checking...

There should be a satellite picture this afternoon. The forecast is for a clear/sunny sky...fingers crossed that it stays cloud free, so we can get a good pic.

Congratulations on your PB, and catching your limit! Job well done... :)

Just one so far...no courtesy dock either

My alarm went off this morning, for the first time since last fall, and I woke up startled, wondering why it was going off...then, I remembered...I was going fishing! I jumped out of bed to get my...

This will be short, since I can't share much info with you, because it wasn't my boat, or my trip. I was invited to go with Capt Ryan Pettry, and Capt Sam Downing, on Ryan's boat.

What I can tell...

I'll be there all three days...working the Fisherman's Central booth. Stop in and say, "Hi", if you're there. It would be fun to put some faces to these names...:)

Already mentioned were the courtesy docks at Mazurik's, but I just wanted to add that at Catawba, you can tie up to the main pier, while you go take your trailer to the lot.

Dempsey's also has a...

Less than two miles....it's only one mile from the roundabout to the ramp...Ted's is about a half mile from there. :)

A lot of my customers stay at the "White Caps Motel". It's not fancy, but it's clean, has plenty of room for boats, and no one has complained to me about it.

They have motel rooms, cabins, mobile...
