Season’s been out since my last trip on Oct 1. Fishing was still hot then (see pics) and it’ll be back in full swing come May. Book your trip today to lock in your spot before they fill up!

Lake Erie is on fire and the fish are are huge. The water temp is a nice balmy 34 degrees, but the fish don't care and put the feed bag on. We are fishing in tight and the fish are scattered all over the water column. Let's go fishing!
