WOW, is right! So sad. Someone ought to turn him on to Mike Patterson.
I tried to register on that site to tell him about Mike but was not sucessful. took me 3 days and two kids to get hooked up here:)
yep these guys are a joke. For example my dad will send a picture of fish we caught that day to his one buddy that works for the Reel Sport crew and saying like look what we caught and they will post the picture on Facebook saying we got some fish when they aren't catching a thing all for money and its kinda getting me pissed off because these guy are taking way to many guys out on the ice,, 40 some people,, really and they actually forgot some people on the ice .... plus this is there 2nd year doing ice guide and they make 10 trips back and forth going 50mph on snowmobiles and flying right by guys they dropped off and making all that noise is gonna scare all those fish off, but Mike honestly dosent know really anything about is fishing his mate Russ is the only one really with ice fishing experience on lake Erie because if mike is fishing and dosent catch any fish in 10 minutes he has to move..... All in All these guys are a joke
Had another guy tell me the same thing about the pictures also. Got a couple of free trips by keeping quit. Was wondering why there were no post on this site from him anymore. Seems as if the one post on here saying "Mike was out there doing really well" then on their missing facebook page the same day said "fishing was slow " . Just amazes me what people do for money.
Yep...Never fished with him because I do my own thing but met him in the Catawba parking lot and he was a very nice dude.Quote:

Which Mike? Reel Sport - Mike Johnson or Mike Patterson?Quote:

Agreed sir if this is true it's a shame.Quote:

Mike Patterson. Went out with him twice last year...good guy, although he didn't put me on the fish he did for the gentelman sitting next to me. He pulled 4 fish O's before noon and it was his first time on Erie ever. I got one 22". This is true but I don't have any pics Lol. Crazy how two feet makes a difference.Quote:

It never seems to fail that any time I pick up a rod that goes off it's a sheepshead or white bass and my father gets to reel in all the walleye. I can't remember the last trip I was the one with the golden touch. I just tell him that he tells them all in, but I catch them all since I make the baits, pick the spots, bait the hooks, pick the direction, set the lines and fiddle with the speed. I'm just happy being on the water and seeing some eyes in the box. The bad days on the water are still better than the best days at work.
