Sat walleye reports

[wayne johnson]

Got to love you jim Capt juls gave us the imfor. a week ago. we ran three different captains sat. and all three ran different patterns and set up, moringing trip was close to kellys, afternoon we were by ourself and no one was closer than 1/4 mile from us, and at 6 oclock there was only two other small boats by us. As for location we have been working three different spots in this area since thurs As for lures our lures are different than everyone else and our speeds are allways faster than anyone else trolls. Have fun and a great summer.

Not everybody has, nor do they want a Face Book account! Walleye dot com is not face book, It is Walleye Dot Com. whose reports forums were designed to give fishing reports, recently there were some major changes/enhancments made to Walleye Dot Com that pertains to posting pictures, making it easier to do so.

Fishing Pictures belong in/on the Site and thread that gives the report of the capture and methods used to fill those coolers not on some gossip column like Face Book! Face Book is nothing more than a free Gossip Sheet type of site. It ranks right up there with the National Inquirer in its own way and has people thinking everything they read on Face Book is the truth. I want to be clear that there is nothing wrong with posting pics on face book but pics should be posted where the reports are given also.

Bottom line is that I and nobody else should have to belong to another site (in this case Face Book) to view pictures of a report(s) on how and where those coolers full of walleyes was caught that were posted on this site(Walleye Dot Com) especially if the person posting the report is a licenced Charter Boat Captain who charges people to go fishing. Walleye Dot Com is the fishing site and Face Book is the Gossip site.

Yes there is some bad blood here on Walleye Dot Com right now. I do not know nor have I met either one of these people (Captain Jim or Wayne/Mike). I do know this and it is not a pleasent thought, Wayne and Mike have had bad publicity not only on this site but on at least 2 other sites by affected people who are far removed from this site, ice fishing was the topic on the other sites, but bad publicity just the same. Some of the publicity was worse than bad and was alluded to by some of their paying customers.

On the other hand I have been a member here since 2009 and have never read nor have I heard of any complaints about Captain Jims(Skipper 9) charter operation, that does not mean that they do not exist it just means that I have not read any nor have I heard any by word of mouth.

Channel Grove Marina is one of the premiere marinas on Lake Erie's western end for quality highly respected Charter Captains. It used to be that if someone would ask me who they should book a trip with for the Islands area east to Vermillion I would suggest they book with any of the captains moored at Channel Grove. With all do respect I can no longer do that, I will let you and all of the others sort it out why I can not do that any more.

Yes Karma is a *****! Just maybe the events have went full circle and Karma is extracting its revenge.

Wakina,

I agree completely with you... except that I would like to assure you that 99% of the captains at Channel Grove are still top notch and I would go with almost any of them there. Please don't let one bad apple ruin your opinion. There are over 200 slips there and they are bound to have one or two that aren't the best. I am not a charter, I simply fun fish on my private boat so I have no stake in the charter business at Channel Grove, and I am not promoting any specific captain. But Channel Grove is still by far the premiere marina in the West end and please don't change your opinion on a single docker there.

I know that Matt I just did not want to have to single out one particular Captain to avoid! Years ago there was another charter captain there that did not know crap about walleye fishing, yet he would book his trips and then complain when no one would help him. Same old thing but fortunately there was no internet to spread his BS. There was also another one in there that felt he owned certain humps on the East Side of Pelee. We only had Loran-C back then but he would accuse people of getting the coordinates off of his unit if they would happen to be on HIS SPOT.


There is an old saying that goes way back and applies to just about anything that requires skill or knowledge at the professional level. This does not apply to the average recreational fisherman, but should apply to anyone who takes people for hire to catch fish. If you gonna need help and know that before you leave the dock then maybe you should stay on the porch in the first place. There is nothing wrong with developing a network of friends to help you out on those certain blah days that happen to all of us. But one should not be taking people fishing for a fee if they require help almost every time they leave the dock!

Walleye_Rick:

I do not disagree that non reports should not be allowed in a reports forum and should be moved to the lounge! I hope that you do not decide or see a need to bar me from the forums but I feel that I have to speak up!

With that being said, I really do not like to stir the pot and am not looking to get into a pissing match with the site Administrator but feel that the Western Basin posters have been and are being singled out about non-reports in the reports section.

Please take a look at this Forum http://community.walleye.com/forumdi...ishing-REPORTS !

By your own definition, it is full of "bar room chit chat". Where is the fairness in scolding the posters in the Western Basin Forums and moving their non reports out of the Western Basin Fishing Reports Forum to the Lounge while still allowing the vast amount of non reports "this type of bar room chit chat" in the other fishing report Forums, both the Central and Eastern Basins. A non-report is a non report and the content of such report is irrelevant beyond the fact that it is a non-report in the reports forum.

Here is one example of what I am talking about!

Nothing of value in this set of posts to the average fisherman just looking for good old fashion fishing reports and helpful advice. I'm moving this thread (and all others like it) to the "Outdoors Lounge" forum. This is a more appropriate site for this type of bar room chit chat. No Bar Room Brawls though, please.

In Jim I trust. Having fished multiple times with Jim, Erik,Shawn and DJ, I've seen how generous they are helping others get on a working program. I have never shyed away from recommending them to friends and business associates. If Jim say's he's being tailpiped then he's being tailedpiped. End of story.

Get your boots on, everybody. Make way for the 300 lb coolers. Iwas out saturday all over my end (far west) and got 1 walleye and one yellow. The white ones were very hungry though. A few big cats to bend the rods were fun. Drift and cast isn't filling my ticket yet but it still beats workin. Have fun, be safe, and keep the entertaining threads coming.
