Stick with Yamaha.

Rescue Marine for sure. Just got my renewal in todays mail. A few years back, I was 16 miles out with a dead engine and a serious squall on it's way. That lake went from flat to 3-5s in 10 minutes....

Visit the Kelleys Island and Put-In-Bay chamber of commerce websites. Lots of good info. Plenty of places to stay. Both islands have great state park campgrounds with good boat ramps, hot showers,...

Two of us got 5 Sunday night off Mouse. 3 were 15" - 17" (released). Kept a 3 & 5 pounder. Anchored in 7' fow about 30' off shore. Conditions perfect. Flat water, pitch black night. Fish were caught...

Right now he's a deep water meat hunter. He's got some serious regulars who follow him to the Ashtabula/Conneaut area.

Gonna give it a whirl this weekend on some of my favorite rock piles. I suspect the bigger fish are feeding at night. Who knows.

It's one of my favorite places to fish in the fall. Too much boat traffic during the season. By Halloween it's quiet and the fish are there. I've had to retire a few blue/chrome husky jerks that the...

I was up near the shoal yesterday. Very slow, not a lot of marks. Got one good fish and then the rain came. Nothing like a good soaking to remind me how much fun I'm having. There was a decent bite...

Glen Lau. I haven't heard that name in a long, long time.

pink squirrel bandit 55' back

north side of Kelleys

Picked up a 7 lb. Steelhead on a pink squirrel bandit Sunday. Highlight of the day. Put on quite a show. The acrobat tangled another board but all ended well. Pretty cool!

My personal best, 14 pounds 10 ounces was caught in an east wind. Weighed her, took a picture and released her. We caught a lot of other net benders that day in that east wind.

They eat everything that swims and have a serious impact on the lake. Their crap is toxic. Look what they did to Middle Island. It's practically defoliated. Motor up close to it and get a whiff. It...

They were good baits then and they're good baits now. That's all a buddy of mine trolls with and he catches fish. Admit it, we all have a few in the box somewhere. Good luck!

Buddies who live on the island got out last week a couple of times. 2 miles north of the state park. Picked up a few jiggin' pimples.

It looks like Moke was the good Sam. These guys are so lucky Moke was close by or the story would have ended differently? No radio and a sinking boat. No wonder. Good job Moke!

While re-newing my annual tow membership with Rescue Marine they got a distress call from a fisherman in trouble. A bass boat left CSP but got buried near F can when the lake kicked up. The crew got...

Check out the the clear tube storage system from Amish Outfitters. The 7"-8'' one keeps all your RR 800s, Bandits, etc separated in clear tubes with lids which you mark with a sharpie. Organized,...

Try fishing from the stone beach next to the pier. It's darker, quieter & much less crowded. Can be very productive. The pier can be shoulder to shoulder. Good luck.

They eat everything that swims. Look at Middle Island. It's almost defoliated. They are a huge nuisance. They thinned them out a couple of years ago. Need to do it again.

I use Rescue Marine in Marblehead. Good outfit. Lots of choices but under no conditions should you leave the dock without tow insurance.

I've been night fishing for years & fish from boat in to boat out. I have my favorite spots but any rocky area can hold fish. Anywhere around the reefs, Rattle, Lucy's Point, Green, Kelleys (off Long...

Number 2s have been good producers. Easy to use. No muss no fuss. Simple stupid is always better. I'm not a big fan of in-lines.

Good advice from Larry. Buying bait on Kelleys can be iffy. Kyle at Craft's landing has bait sometimes. Play it safe and stop at HiWay bait.
