It was 85 and sunny all day here in Spring Valley. I feel like a lobster now as I forgot my sunscreen for our 11 our day on the water. Tournament on Saturday, still lots of work to do to be ready!
I feel like every year, there is that one day where you finally say "Spring is here." That day was yesterday, the sun was shining, lake was calm, I saw kids running around in T-shirts. And you know what that means... The next month or two will be arguable the best couple months of the year to be a...
We floated a short section of the Vermillion River yesterday with limited success. Decided to bring a plug rod and some Off Shore boards along to try some new techniques. Although it was the pins that produced, the plug fishing definitely has some potential and we look forward to tweaking out the presentations. Next time we won't be in...
I just got my order in from Northland Tackle and that means its time to tie up some hair jigs for Spring Valley and the Erie Reef bite. I can't wait to get the new boat and try these new jigs out! In the background I'm watching the MWC tv shows from last years tourneys, talk about getting fired...
So my flight attendant yesterday, whom happens to be from Hawaii, says "Oh so you're from Cleveland and lived there your whole life?"
Me: "Yup."
Her, with a dead serious tone: "Oh, you are so lucky. I'm jealous, I love Cleveland."
Interesting perspective, not saying I don't agree, just kind of threw me off a bit, haha.
Just got my order from Off Shore Tackle, I feel like a kid on Christmas! Time to go do some steelhead plug fishing with my new Mini-Planer Boards. Or perhaps some live bait trolling for eyes out on the big pond in a few weeks!?!? We'll see.... ;)

The warm winter and abundant precipitation this fall has made for as good of January and February as I can ever remember. The river fishing from our state of the art Sotar Raft has been phenomenal, as the boat keeps you out of the water (warm toes) and away from the crowds. Lake Erie hasn’t frozen yet and when...
It looks the cold temps and the snow are going to keep me off the water for the next few days, so that will give me some much needed time to start gearing up for the rapidly approaching tournament season. The boat is ordered and I was ecstatic to receive the news this week that am going to be...
