Yesterday, I got a text from Dan Ireland. He's a previous customer, from back in May...he and his friend were staying here all week. They bring Dan's little boat over from Missouri.

"Do you have...

Allen and Marilyn drove over from Indiana, on Sunday. We were supposed to fish yesterday, but Mother Nature had other plans, and sent us a gusty NNE wind instead. It was a "no-go".

Initially, we...

I don't know who makes the best one, but I've been very happy with the iTroll

I had fished with Keith a couple years ago...his wife likes to read my reports, and relay info for their own trips, because Keith isn't online a lot. He has a Ranger 621, and doesn't live far from...

My original plan was to go to Huron, but with reports of floating grass in the area, I decided that launching in Vermilion would be a wiser move. We could head north to escape the floating masses.

Brian and Mandy were driving in from near Dayton, this morning, so I told them to meet me at the Huron ramp at 5:30. (Note...It's not getting light until 5:45 now, so I'll be changing my meeting...

John and Janet, had one more day of fishing, and one more night in town, before they head back to Missouri. Janet told me that Missouri is known as the "Show Me" state, so I wanted today to go even...

The dogs woke me up a 1/2 hour early this morning, so I had to get up to see what they wanted. Turns out, they just wanted me up, so I stayed up, brewed some coffee, grabbed the dog treats, and went...

Most definitely, get some smaller profile cranks! The PWC Lites are very good, as are the Spro 85s. I've been running them for a couple of months now, and they are still producing. :)

John and Janet, drove in from Missouri yesterday, and made it to Port Clinton around 3:30pm. John called, and said he had some Bison (a roast and some strip steaks), and some homemade salsa for me,...

Yes, most often than not, with the Tattle Flags set correctly…:)

Woke up at 2am, grabbed a cup of coffee, some dog treats, and headed out to the back deck with the dogs, to check the weather.The air was clean and crisp, the stars were shining, and the temp was a...

Sorry for the lack of reports the past couple few weeks but, those that follow me on Facebook already know that I was having some electronics issues, a sprained ankle, and a couple of cancellations...

Left the house at 4:30, and headed over to the Super 8, to pick up Joe and Tara, and on my way there, three Raccoons were crossing the road in a very dark area, so by the time I saw them, it was too...

Just go, and use your electronics to mark fish, and start fishing. There will be a ton of boats out there...always is. Does your map chip show where the dumps are? That's a good place to start.

The dogs woke me up 45 minutes before my alarm was to go off, so I just got up, and stayed up. A cup of coffee, out on the back deck, hit the spot. While the dogs were busy with their morning routine...

Short story....lol

Fun morning, with this Wisconsin crew. Launched out of vermilion at 5:15, and hit the weather buoy area again (see 6/20/24 report)…set up by 6:20. Same program I got dialed in...

He/she/it/they/him/her...lol just has to be able to reel in a fish, even with the help of a parent, so that it's legal. You can't take a very young toddler out there and keep a limit for them. ;)

At 2am, it felt like I was stepping into a sauna, when I hit the back deck with the dogs, and a coffee in hand. The wind apps were showing light and variable winds, so I thought the lake would be...

Yes, in Ohio...that's how it works. When he's 16, he will need a license. :)

The family went back to Wisconsin on Monday, so I had my normal morning routine, of taking the dogs out on the back deck with my cup of coffee, and my phone. I check the weather and wind apps for the...

Sorry, I forgot to post this trip's report, due to family staying with me over the weekend.

Day 2 we didn't go. When we got to the launch it was blowing over 20mph out of the SW, and we all agreed...

I was off over the weekend, while family was here, so I was back to work this morning. The morning routine was disrupted, due to sleeping siblings, and me trying to keep two rambunctious dogs quiet,...

Nope...nothing you can do.

I am, and it's made a big difference....I just recently switched over to this way of doing it. There are less tangles, and it's easier to bring the fish in, when the fish pulls the board under....
