Great things about this time of year: t-shirts, swimming while fishing, 5 minute ride from my house to the boat ramp, and plentiful walleye.
I have been so busy the last week or so between time on the water, charters, and visits with out of town friends that I have been slacking on the blog and I apologize. The fishing...
Sun wasn't shining, but the walleye didn't care on Lake Erie:

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Lake Erie fishing trip with Ryan Buddie of Lakewood didn't go as planned. Big walleye got in the way.
The general idea on Tuesday morning was to pick up nightcrawlers at Erie Outfitters in...
Tuesday, I planned on taking local Outdoors Writer, D'arcy Egan out for some walleye fishing off Avon. We woke up to 18mph winds out of the west, and a line of storms from Toledo all the way down to Indianapolis. We decided to wait it out and around 9:00 I looked at the radar and had all but lost...
Along with the hot weather of last weekend, came some hot fishing action in the Cleveland area! Saturday, Kevin and I went out of the Rocky River to take one last crack at catching an upgrade derby fish. We were close to cracking into the money with a nice 10.4lber, but fortunately the 12.7lber that Paul and I caught...
With just a few days in left in the Lake Erie Spring Fling Walleye Derby, Paul Rogers (my MWC teammate) is leading with this 12.7lb beast. The Spring Fling is a month long derby on Erie in which over 100 anglers look for the largest fish during at 4 week period through most of May. 3,600$ in prize money...
I had the great opportunity to go down to Jackson Memorial Middle School to speak for their "Hooked on Fishing, not on Drugs" program. It was awesome to hang out with these kids that stay after school on their own time to talk fishing and plan their next trip.

Ya know, I absolutely love tournaments and all, but a lot of times, especially in the Spring, I get lost in the fact that it is fun to just go fishing... and for an occasional boat ride. Sunday I took Julia, Nick, and Heather for a ride out of Rocky River. We fished a little, but it wasn't a...
Kevin and I fished the Lake Erie Walleye Trail out of Marblehead this weekend. With cold temps and major winds the week prior it was a tough bite. For Prefish on Friday we started off in the Kelley's area pulling cranks and spinners. We found great marks but had no takers. With some of our other teammates working the...
Last week was one of my favorite tournaments of the year, the MWC on Detroit River. It is an awesome tournament because you have the opportunity to fish both the river and lake, and catch monsters jigging with light tackle on the river. Thats something you just can't do anywhere.
We spent the majority of the week fishing the lake,...
I apologize its been a week or so since I have posted a blog. This time of year is one of my favorite times of the year to be on and around the water, and that means less time on the computer.
To do some catching up, Paul and I ended up finishing 39th out of 156 in the MWC...
