Ted Race

Member since April 2019 Conneaut, United States
Background
I've always enjoyed fishing, ever since I was young. I've spent my summers growing up on Lake Erie, and I was on the water whenever I had the chance. Over the years, I've perfected my angling skills and techniques and decided to turn my passion into a full-time job, which is how Crooked Creek Charters came to be. I love spending time outdoors, and teaching people how to fish. I take very good care of my boat and all the fishing equipment so that I can provide my anglers with the best fishing experience.
Techniques
Summer walleye trips consist of trolling a combination of planer boards. Dypsey diver, Trutrips, or downriggers. Spring drift fishing is also available.

Erin and I had an incredible night fishing. Flat calm seas, dolphins, and one more sunset on the water. The refugee boats passengers were all safe, the orange paint says it was checked by the Coast Guard they do an incredible job out there. I couldnt help but be grateful for our country and our freedom ??
