Member since July 2018 Erie, United States
Background
I've been a fisherman all of my life. Starting with the Zebco bait casting reel as a toddler, I graduated to bigger and better tools and techniques as I grew older. Trout fishing was my main hobby growing up. But as a young man, I always had my eye on charter fishing and I always knew that someday I would be a charter captain on the Lake Erie. After fishing with my dad in his small boat for many years on the local lakes and rivers, I bought my first boat in 2008 and I started getting a taste of the Lake Erie experience. My second boat didn't come long after that. I fished the big pond every chance that I got. I've been fishing Lake Erie for over 15 years now. I got my credentials in order and I obtained my six-pack charter license in 2015. I'm in my 8th year as a charter captain and I can compete with the best of the longer tenured captains. They say that "10% of the fisherman catch 90% of all the fish". I put myself in that category. The proof is in the pudding.
Techniques
My fishing style is a typical Lake Erie walleye trolling technique. I use planer boards, dipsy divers, and downriggers. Baits used are stick baits, spoons, and worm harnesses, etc.
