These last couple Lake Erie Walleye Trail’s have been a game of zigs and zags. Huron Pro-Am last month, Jason and I, with our co-angler Jason, made a run to our first area and probably worked it too long. We ended up moving around and settled on some fish in the last 2 hours well...
Boom! There goes another Lake Erie Walleye Trail event out of Sandusky, Ohio. Jason Kopf and I squeaked out another solid finish with a 2nd/113! Practice was a little all over the place, some good, some bad, which a lot of times is a good thing. It set us into the tournament with...
It was good to get back out on Lake Erie for a tournament this past weekend. The wind blew like crazy leading up to the tournament, so you had to just follow your instincts to where the combination of the right fish and water color would be. It was literally a 50/50 call right up...
My little fishing girl Nora here loves to get in the Spring Fish Crazy Walleye Derby. For that matter, she loves all the derbies! It's a great format, there is a kids division and each kid get matched with another kid as a part of the Kids Team Division. We had a...
That moment when all the study, early mornings, rigging, and adjustments come together. It started about 5 years ago with a dream to catch a major ‘do it yourself’ wahoo, here is when it became reality. This one taped out to be 65lbs. What’s next? I want a +100lber. Gosh I love fishing. ...
My first Carnivorous Artificial Bait Boat Angling World Championship is in the books. What an experience! I’ve received a lot of questions about it, so first let me tell you a little about the format. Each country that competes puts 2 pairs in the boats for the competition, myself and Nick Schertz were...
The fishing this past week was just crazy, like nothing I’ve ever seen. The amount of fish out there on Lake Erie is mind numbing. You could catch over a 100 walleye a day no problem, but it’s frustrating at the same time because it’s really hard to pattern anything over 20”. I...
This will be etched in as an all-time memory… Julia and I had a 4 day getaway this past weekend to explore a new place in our favorite little country. We decided one day to go looking for some pelagics roaming in the deep ocean. There is something about being in the open ocean that...
Another Lake Erie Walleye Trail this past weekend, another top 5 finish… This is fun! Jason Kopf and I have seemed to have found our mojo from the 2000s, and we even got called “old dogs” in the press…. We had a great day, put a smack down on some great fish and...
What a tournament, actually 2 tournaments! Jason Kopf and I were able to put together a nice bag of 31lbs 12oz yesterday for a 2 day total of 65lbs and hang onto 3rd place in the Masters Walleye Circuit and combined Lake Erie Walleye Trail. We just couldn’t get...
