I grew up on the western basin driftin / castin erie dearies back when the limit was 10. Wasn't really hard to find the fish back then, pick a spot,start your drift, cast out count to 10 (remember the count down method) start catching fish when that shuts down make another drift,and repeat. That worked or quite awhile. Then came the zebra muscles, cleaner water and tougher fishing. Not as many guys still runnin boats for hire as there were back then. The guys who are left are working there ass off to put people on fish. I witnessed capt sean from EYEHUNTER put 400.00 in gas in the boat after a trip that they charged 550.00 for. They fished hard all day to produce fish, not makin much when u figure in the cost of everything else. That is what its all about, givin all u got to make someone happy. These guys ( jim, sean, eric ) are top notch people who run a top notch business. They are also very personable people ( theys guys are a roit ) catching fish is a bonus. They are willing to share all they know about what they are doing ( no secrets here) just fishin. You want to know just ask, they will not only tell u why but show u how. When you can learn something and have fun at the same time that makes for a good time. FIRST CLASS speaks for itself no need to brag.
