My wife won tickets earlier this year at an auction for the local library to go see a Toronto Blue Jays game.   My son wanted to see the Yankees so that only gave us a few choices of dates and we picked Aug.11. This would be only the second professional game for my wife and son (having seen the Yankees in NY two years ago) and only my second havin...

Morning trip day...Started today off with a fish in the box before we even had the 3rd rod set!   Great way to start! Ended up boating 12 walleye and 2 lake trout.   Average size today was a lot smaller than the fish we had over the weekend although we did pick up a couple in the 7lb range.                                           We fished prett...

Day 2-August 4 Well Team 24 started Day 2 in 67th place out of 100 boats.   The Con Club derby allows for 4 team members but only 3 can fish each day.   I had a charter so Gary and Gerb agreed to take my son Jack as the third team member.   As noted in my charter blog (Aug.4) it was pretty windy to start and definitely hot.    They worked the same...

Ended up boating 7 walleye 4 small steelhead and a la...

Day One of the Conservation Club Tournament.   Really nice lake conditions today fishing conditions continued to be on the slow side.

Well another great group of guys and another tough bite.    We continue to mark a good number of fish and we had a couple of pockets where we took a couple each time quickly but overall there was lots of slow time. Saving grace came in the form of 12lbs of Lake Erie steelhead that hit a DW superslim walleye magic sppon we had just put down to 70 f...

Took one right off the bat on a 10 color with a 3" chatterstick tipped with a piece of worm.   Ended up putting 4 in t...
