The weather finally broke a little for the better this week. First tournament of the year is this Saturday. We were able to get out last couple days. The fish are getting ready for the spawning season. For us on Erie that means one thing the possibility of a true giant. The first trip didn't disappoint anchored by a true trophy 30 inch fish. Slow trolling p-10 crank baits was the key. The fishing should be incredible for the next 6 weeks

Captain Bob went above and beyond trying to put us on some fish. Eventually we were able to pull some in. Not the mother load but a great time just the same! My 9 year old is now hooked (yes pun intended) on walleye fishing. Thanks, BJ, Beth, and Gus

Sean was a super cool guy, really knows his stuff we caught our limit in August when other people were not. He has a very clean boat and nice equipment. Also does a heck of a job cleaning the fish for you. I highly recommend Sean.
