John Nickell

Member since November 2016 Curtice, United States
Background
I started out first mating on my father in laws charter boat. I got my sea time in on the Great Lakes to qualify for the Coast Guard exam. I passed the exam 30 plus years ago and still enjoy everyday fishing on Lake Erie.
Techniques
We drift fish for walleye using nightcrawlers on a spinner rig. If we don't have enough wind to catch fish casting, we can start trolling with jet divers and spoons. We have multiple methods of catching walleyes depending on the conditions the lake presents daily.
