what an awesome day on Erie

[Bryan]

Got my boat put in for the season and trolled 4.5 hours and picked up a 3 man limit, almost all fish were 28" or bigger. Absolutely fantastic day on the lake!
This was my "2nd personal best" at 31"


At this point we gave up trying to stuff t hem in the cooler!

Nice trip!!! Got a trip to Erie scheduled for late May but with reports like that i may not be able to wait that long. Might have to sneak up for a weekend soon. How's the jig bite?

Great job Bryan. Putting a new floor in my boat and hope to have it up there for the summer by next weekend. Keep hammering them. Still trying to send you a picture of my 13 from ice fishing. Be safe and enjoy.

Thanks guys!
The jig bite has been hot from what I've heard, I personally haven't jigged this year...just been trolling cranks.

I took my wife and one of her friends out with me Saturday, we trolled at noon just long enough to catch a few fish for supper (yeah I have some in the freezer, but there is just something about eating a meal that was swimming less than three hours earlier!) and headed home.
Rather than deep frying our walleye we decided to bake them, a little olive oil on the bottom of a baking pan, line up the fillets, put a couple pats of butter on each fillet, add seasoning (I like blackened), cover with foil, DELICIOUS!

Anyway, here's my wife's friend with her FIRST walleye, 27.5"

Nice!  I love to eat crappie that way. Tastes so good.

[Bryan]

HAHAHA!
Snowcone...when my wife got to work this morning her friend/co-worker had already told the entire office about the HUGE fish she caught! She is still beaming!

[Bryan]

Give me a shout if you want...260-223-090-nine, or "OTTER" on VHF channel 79.
I'll be trolling for the big girls again around the Bass islands.

I'm a little late with last weekends report, it was a tough bite, we caught fish but had to work for them! Added 5 more "Fish Ohios" to my tally with the 2 largest coming in at 30".
Here is my co-worker with the 30" he reeled in, his personal best and she'll be going on his wall.

Keep it up Bryan, love to see your pics. Hoping to have the boat done this weekend. If not, I may have to hit a headboat. Great job as usual Bryan.
