I know i will need help

[fishin2]

If I was you, I would start gettin ready now. There is a spring jig bite that is unreal. Youhave to travel every bit of a couple miles in a day to get fish, sometimes only a 1/2 mile from your put-in, I use wildwings, go out @ dark thirty and alot of days, be heading back in when the fella's are on the way out. It's an easy catch fishing trip, kinda nice with the price of gas nowadays, helps balance out the season. Keep an eye on this website, you will know when it's time, then just come out the mouth of the channel, look north and join the masses and I mean that litterally. Also, my condolences for your pops, lost mine over 15 yrs ago and never have felt the pain go away. See ya up there, Mike

When does the spring bite usually get hot. One of the reasons i think dad always waited till may cause the weather is a little more stable. It would suck to drive 5 hours just to not fish lol.

Sorry for your loss. I would take Jim up on his offer as he has helped out many on this site.

If interested we rent our condos at Green Cove Resort which is right next door to Wild Wings Resort. Boats are usually right out front on the reefs in early spring, maybe 1-2 miles out.

Thank you captain walleye for the information. I checked the site and that sounds like a great deal. I will be in contact with you in the upcoming months

so sorry for your lose! without knowing your father it's hard to say, but i'm guessing that the spring memorial trip in his honor would be exactly what he'd want you to do. that being said, I can't say that i'm surprised by capt. jim's offer. speaks for his character as I know it and that is as nothing short of first class. highly recommend that you take him up on it. three or four hours and he'll have you ready to strike out on your own with at least one way to get 'em.

My dad started me fishing on Lake Erie in 1950. At first it was night fishing for blue pike and it ended for him in September 2005 between lunker walleye trips. I feel his presence on the boat every time we go out. As per his wishes I scattered his ashes about 3 miles off Geneva so I know he is close. This website, as you have already seen, is a great source of information from a great bunch of guys. With the help of a radio and GPS, we can put you right on the fish and tell you what is working right now, not yesterday. My first trip will be the day after the ice clears from the ramp at Catawba State Park or at Wild Wings. Check this website for the latest news.

WOW... bitter-sweet read... my sincere condolences as well... I must provide a testimony to these guys. Last year on March 18th I lost my brother at nearly the same age. And I found that fishing the lake was a great comfort. It was a great year for walleye and EVERY single time they provided great advice/tips/assistance, etc.... you are in good hands with these guys... I just want to say thanks again to them for helping me last year... I was a rookie last year too, but these guys just jumped right in and helped out without hesitation... CHEERS TO YOU !!!
