    You are probably well on your way to being able to separate the straw from the ********. You will soon learn who is being truthful and who is posting just to create drama. There are more good Guys on this site than those who as the old saying goes are all hat and no cattle. Probably at a ratio of 99.9% to .01%.

    Well said Wakina! Yes, this is a great site and an amazing Lake Erie fishing community. In fact it is for that reason that it is so discouraging when others come in and ruin the atmosphere.

    I don't even go to OGF anymore and haven't logged in for almost 2 years there and other fishing forums because they are so full of the kind of stuff we are talking about.

    Search high and low and it's hard to find a forum with the kind of people and the captains that are in Walleye.com.

    Default reports

    to all that like to rip me down thats fine, its your choice to believe or not believe, you must understand sometimes clients don't want thier cathes shown and we have to respect this, as well as sometimes we get numbers that can't be let out, and we have to respect this,. As for picture you can check out reel sport charters llc and you will see the big and the small of 2014 from spring to winter. As to why some are catching fish and alot are not, like I said before go small ,smaller and slow and old school ways. Yes Iam old school and not the best report writer in town,
    as you pick me apart. All I am trying to due is give the best report I can with as much information as I can, like this forum is about, I am in no way trying to promote our business. Yes I do everything different than everyone else, but this is who I am. The ones who know us know we do everything in our power to please everyone. This my option, Sorry if I ruffel some feathers.

    Thanks Big Wayne

    Wayne, no name has mentioned you or anyone else's name. In fact, there was an example given about a 300lb cooler story which wasn't you.

    Everything in here has simply been about people posting dishonest reports and false results simply to try make themselves look better than the next guy. Almost everything in this topic has been about a character an honesty issue, and specific examples given where not details about your reports.

    Everyone has been talking about false reports being given when everyone knows they are false and how that effects users who don't know who to trust.

    If you took these posts personally then it is simply because you choose too, not because anyone has mentioned you or anyone else's names.

    Hey Wayne/Mike I wasn't specifically talking about you. Neither was anyone else. Nobody called you or mike out on anything just letting people know to be careful on who people trust on info. But with you jumping to conclusions like that sure makes it look like you have a guilty Conscience good luck to everyone on the ice I'm not a ice guide and do not have any future plans to be one. Not even out on the ice man good luck and be safe!

    I believe there is a simple solution. BE HONEST!!! Show pictures of the fish you claim to catch!! Don't give false reports and put people in harms way on the ice. Many of you on this site are friends of mine and i don't want anyone hurt so someone can make a few bucks. So show the pictures of all these fish. (I have never had a client tell me not to take pictures.. sounds a little fishy)

    While on this topic I must also say something on perch. I always see from the same people jumbos jumbos jumbos.... not we have a good grade of fish being 8s 9s and 10s. Let's be realistic your not going out around kelleys or anywhere in the western basin for that matter and getting 6 and 8 man limits of jumbos. Your getting a decent grade with some jumbos mixed in. Don't get me wrong I've fished Huron and vermilion a lot for perch and you can get a lot of jumbos but a whole limit? ? Not happening very often let alone every trip. The "person people" that report like this know who are. Be very aware of "the jumbo perch report"

    Wow Greg.. no I don't need a charter. And also did I refer to you? ? No. . I also know Canada. Sheridan point, the wheel colchester... these are no secret spots. I'm not saying these are your spots but I'd be willing to bet they aren't far from it. And yes two guys could sit out there a lot of times all day and get a limit of ten inches with sorting. Never did I question your fishing skills. I'm just saying to the people that have said limit of jumbos after limit of jumbos with six or eight people its bs. Not one day was it a smaller grade??? And don't get me wrong yes you can get a limit of jumbos.hell about 5 years ago 6 of us limited out around the toledo lighthouse with two to the pound. Does it happen often no way. Does it happen more in Canadian waters yes. .. every trip not happening. Good luck in 2015 and be safe
