Michelle surprised her Dad, Robert, with a multi species trip for his birthday. Not knowing what to expect, Robert adjusted very quickly. Michelle fine tuned her approach and both started catching fish after fish! We experimented with walleye to start and promptly put 9 keepers in the livewell! We then made a couple drifts for bass but they weren’t cooperating. The drum, however, obliged both anglers offering up the incredible fight they’re known for. In the process, Robert caught the biggest fish of his life landing a channel catfish that was pushing 14 lbs! The bond between these two was joyful to witness. The boat was full of laughter and love. Another successful day on the water!

Russ came from Seattle to visit long time friend John. They decided to try a night walleye trip. After a slow start, things picked up a bit. Russ caught a 4lb + smallmouth to get us started. John knew his lure was working as he boated a record 9 rock bass while waiting for the walleye to turn on. Russ struck again with a beautiful 6 lb + walleye. John reacted by getting a nice smallmouth and a quality, nearly 5 lb walleye of his own. Another super day gsining two more new friends.

Andy and his son Andrew were in town for a wedding and wanted to try Lake Erie. They were open to catch whatever species that were biting. We formulated a plan at the dock: try for walleye then move in to target smallmouth bass. Well, the plan was very successful! They caugh their first walleyes ever, hooking 4 of them in the first hour. Then moving in to fish smallmouth, they again showed off their skills by boating several very nice fish, mixing in several giant drum as well. Ended up being another great day on the water. Great father / son combo making what I do special!
