I would have to second the motion on Capt Juls, a great contributor on this forum but so are many others. I would recommend a couple different charters to get different points of view. Lund makes a great boat, just choose your days carefully and look at multiple weather forecasts from different sources. Lake Erie wind and wave forecasts have seemed to be not as accurate as they once were, I can't tell you how many times per season the wave forecast was wrong and generally they error on the bad side. I do more perch fishing than walleye fishing just a preference at the dinner table but do some walleye chasing in the early season then switch to perch when the summer heat picks up, less work more relaxing for me. I just retired this year myself and would like to get out more during the week but everyone else is working...go figure. Oh....welcome aboard !!
