A great experience. Highlly recommended
My nephew Anthony and I fished with Juls on wed May 18. If you ever read her blog/reports you know she doesn't sugar coat anything. We had a one of those days as she reported, "Ugh!" Lumpy chocolate milk is how I'd describe the conditions. Some difficult conditions to fish under. My point is as the title states. Even though weather wasn't on our side, the total experience left me feeling nothing short of satisfied. We did manage to stir up 3 fish including Anthony's personal best 28" and two smaller fish. Beyond Anthony's PB, Juls gave us her best. Top shelf equipment form stem to stern. A solid knowledge of Lake Erie walleye, knowledge of the functionality of her equipment, and the willingness to share all of it with her clients. Full disclosure: this was my third time in three years fishing with her. I've varied my dates with her so as to learn different seasonal aspects. She delivered each time. I was taking notes throughout the day. She generously suggested I take a screen shot of her gps. I appreciate the offer but told her it wasn't about the X and Y coordinates but essentially more about the ABC's. Ive followed her lead on some of my equipment. Not because she says it's the "best" but she's showed that it works and works well and in certain cases how it works or how to use it. Intentional ambiguity as to the product(s) I'm referring to because it doesn't matter. She's got it down. All of it. She took a call from a guy needing some technical advise on how to work some equipment on a borrowed boat. She impressively walked him through it step by step. I joked the she should have ended the call with "Thank you for calling Product X hot line. I'm glad I was able to assist you. Please call again." Additionally she answered the many questions I had reguarding some of the equipment I've implemented in my personal arsenal. As far as catching fish.....3 fish.....great day for Anthony and I? ABSOLUTELY. A constant air of confidence that each move would be a positive one. Knowing that it's still "fishing" and understanding it's not always about getting your limit.
Anthony and I thank you.
Until next time,
Karl.
