No matter what body of water you are on, if you find humps, bumps, and sharp contour breaks, you are bound to find hungry walleyes.

With a unseasonable warm autumn so far, El Nino in the forecast, and water temps in the mid to high 40s still, the great fishing could continue for at least another few weeks. The shoreline from Cleveland to Marblehead is all good with key...

There are some massive fish from Lorain all the way out East past Cleveland, and when the weather cooperates, it might just be my favorite time of...
As many of you know, my experience in Alaska and some of the people I worked with became very instrumental in my life. Because of some of the experiences and bonds I made, some of these people I consider friends for life, no matter how long its been since I've seen them.
John, I guide I worked with in 2004...
Well hello all you walleye and fishing maniacs. I'm back. Sorry its been so long since I blogged, I have been super busy the last 6 months with a job interview, the start of my new full time job, and the fact that I had some hosting issues with my website, and I was locked out of making updates...
