Steve’s wife booked a trip as his birthday gift. He came from Syracuse and brought along his friend Joe. Due to stronger than expected winds we had to make a change in location and species targeted. Bite was AGAIN super tough. These guys relied on their angling experience to grind out several nice fish. Another late change in tactics and they caught a few nice largemouth as well! We immediately became friends! Looking forward to fishing with these boys sgain in the future.

Chelbie surprised her brother Trey on their visit here from Missouri with a trip on Erie. The day showed us how finicky and tough to get to the boat smallmouth can sometimes be. Chelbie caught the first one of the day a 4lb 4oz big un that ended up being the big one for the day. Trey kicked in a few nice ones of his own! We broke a couple off at the boat today that would have made the day even better. Two of the nicest young people you could ever meet. I enjoyed witnessing the bond between siblings!

Being from Texas, Ricky and his wife Kim never caught a smallmouth bass before. That was about to change. Only having exactly 4 hours to fish due to travel plans, they immediately got to work. After the first hour and a half with zero fish I could sense they had their doubts. But they stayed focused , and after a change in strategy they started to catch them. They both got their first ever. Ricky kept beating his personal best until he finished up with a 5lb 4oz monster! His enthusiasm was contagious as he was actually trembling after catching her! Both were absolutely amazed at how hard these fish fight! They even got s double header! Great People—- AGAIN!!!
