The 2019 Lake Erie Walleye Trail season has come and gone… It was tough, I knew it could be, the big fish on Erie are as hard as I’ve ever seen in my tournament career to target specifically, at least in my eyes. Congrats to the guys who dialed them in! Dan and I ended up with a mediocre,...
Well, the first one of the year, Winnebago, was tough. Sorry I missed the blog on that one, but moral of the story was I fished really really hard but struggled all week and in the tourney to get big bites. Tough tournament, you'll have those, I want to go back because I know I can do...
Tournament Fishing… It all started for me more than a decade ago in 2007 when a buddy of mine asked me if I wanted to be in his local club tournament on Erie. I fished all the time; long days, crappy conditions, weeks at a time, it didn’t matter… If I wasn’t working, I was fishing. ...
I love fall. Football, fat walleyes, and falling temperature to fire up deer hunting season are a few of the reasons. Fishing this time of year is so much fun, because lets face it, most of us are burnt out of long boat rides, speed trolling 70+ feet of Lake Erie water, and what seems more like the summer...
Any time you fish a tournament, you always aim for finishing in the money, the top 25%, especially on a new body of water. Coming off the momentum from my 2nd place on Erie, top 25% is what I was hoping for with this one. So ended up a very mediocre 52nd in the 112 boat field. Usually when...
Sorry it took me a few days to get this up. Part of it was that I just needed to unwind and spend some time with the family for the Easter holiday. Part of it was that I didn't know what to say and I just needed to let my emotions stabilize bit. Long story short, I ended...
This past weekend was proof that when fisherman, generous companies, and a great charity come together, good things happen. The 2017 Walleye Wisdom Seminar for St. Jude Children's Hospital was a tremendous success and we are proud to say that they raised $12,300 for the charity. A crowd of 170 avid walleye anglers showed up to watch professional anglers...
As winter sets in here, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on the last month or so as an outdoorsman in NE Ohio; maybe the best month of the year to be an outdoorsman here… Monster walleye both day and night close to shore, deer rut and gun season, and steelhead charging the rivers in full force,...
Finally got a minute to sit down and give an update to a very busy and exciting summer... Early summer started off with a couple big National Walleye Tour events on lake Winnebago and out of Sturgeon Bay in Wisconsin. Winnebago was a last minute deal that I hopped in as a co-angler, which is something I had never...
This last week or so sure has been an exciting one, and certainly one I will never forget. Actually, its been a wild month in all. I bid my airline schedule to be on reserve the 1st-14th of April, as that was the best way for me to ensure I would have the 15th through the rest of...
