My buddy caught 6 this morning. 2 foul hooked. Off Ford st. Small yellow floaters. Bites when sun poked through. Too cold for me. Lol

Really? 2 posts and your second one is a nasty one towards one of the longtime contributors to this site. The charter captains on this site have been a great help to many MANY newcomers to the site and rookie fisherman/boaters. For those who want to learn some of the ropes quick, there is no better way than to go with a charter captain that makes their living on their reputation for getting on fish.

Spend some time on a site to see how it works before coming on and insulting people. Take the advice/reports from here and say "thanks" and give back when you can. THAT is what this site is about. In return for the charter captains helping others out, they get to make some good friends on here and drop their business name once in a while. Seems like a good situation for everyone.

Wayne, thanks for the info. I'm hoping to hook up with the ReelSport team during the perch bite.

I think it is great that the ReelSport guys are proactively offering a service for something that might be new or intimidating to someone. I may or may not ever get a guide for the river but I have no problem with them making a few bucks while putting others on fish no matter where it is. People may not have limitless vacation time and want to get on the fish right away and go home. Anyway, Mike and Wayne do not deserve any criticism for this topic or anything else, considering all of t he help they have given over the years. Same goes for other captains /avid contributors on here. Weather permitting, my first trip will be 4/10-4/15 out of fenwick. I hope to share good reports with you all.

It is not uncommon to have guides on rivers all over the world... I have no idea why this would upset anyone. I know I have taught many people to use all kinds of techniques to catch fish on a charter. Then they may never fish with me again.. but I hear back from them that they are doing well on there own boat... and I think thats great... personally I would be lost wading the maumee.. heck I havent fished that since I was 16 years old or so... if I was going to fish the maumee I would hire a guide at least for the first trip... good luck to all...

I think NastyHabit has a NastyHabit. If he knew what the charter captains have done for the fishermen on this cite he would not have ever posted that comment. I think he needs to take ONE trip with any of these captains and they will see what I am talking about. Myself, I got my own boat and by this cite I have learned soooooo much from skipper 9 and others. I want to meet up with them this year so I can shake their hand.
As for maumee, I am a purchased a 16' boat and this will be my first year fishing on a boat. Can you fish in 8' of water do you have to fish in rapids? I would rather go towards lake and fish off some of islands on lake erie about half way towards Toledo instead of the rapids. Thanks again
