Member since March 2023 Lakeside Marblehead, United States
Background
Started fishing Lake Erie with my grandfather in the early 80s as a young boy, and fell in love. I have been fishing ever since on multiple charters and head boats before I would eventually brave boating my own boat for the past 4 years.
Techniques
Jigging for Walleye in early spring switching up to Casting and finishing by trolling for our limits. Perch- Using the latest tackle and live baits to get the Western Lake Erie 30 fish per man limit.
