Lake Erie Lingo?

Most of the serious fishing groups use cell phones. The regular chatter that you hear can be understood if you put 2 and 2 together - meaning that the longer you listen (day after day) you will find groups that will use the radio on a regular basis to discuss what they have going on. For the most part, there are 2 - 3 groups talking back and forth each day. Once you define their pattern, you will begin to sort things out better.

CB's are still used by a lot of charter captains because of the "noise" on the marine radio. Some of them also have difference frequency chips that you cannot tune into on their marine radios. I have such a setup. I am usually not on the radio very much. If anything, I get cell phone calls from the other captains that I know.

I know you are right.. I just want do disbelieve. I figured I throw the topic out there & see if anyone had any magic tricks!

Funny side note: I had an antenna problem on my radio for a long time and didn't know it. Tuns out that I could only hear people that were relatively close. When guys were doing well and talking about it, it seemed like I didn't have any problem finding them. Now that it's fixed & I can hear the whole damn lake.. I'm having a harder time finding them. Ironic anyway. I can finally hear and transmit, but lost my trick!
