Captain
Elbert Charles Shelton

Member since March 2023 Lakeside Marblehead, United States
Background
I'm Captain Charlie, and I've been fishing most of my adult life. I moved to the Great Lakes in 2014, where I fished Lake Michigan, Green Bay, and the inland waters of Lake Winnebago and the Fox River system. I now reside in Lakeside Marblehead and enjoy the Walleye fishing capital of the world. Experience world-class Walleye fishing with me. I specialize in catching Walleye and Yellow Perch. I use trolling, drifting, and jigging methods.
Techniques
Use light tackle to cast or jig reefs and open waters. Use medium heavy tackle during trolling. Pulling small boards or Dipsy Divers. I use live bait (minnows) at an additional charge to cover bait.
