Fishing with Mike and Billy 8/8/2020
by Capt Juls on 08/08/20After a reschedule back in July, due to wind, my crew....Mike, and Billy, from Wisconsin, were able to get a good weekend of weather for their two-day trip. They fish Green Bay a lot, but said they mostly fish with crawler harnesses, and wanted to learn how to run dipsies, and see how I run my Off Shore board set up with cranks and snap weights.
Fishing with Don and Art 8/5/2020
by Capt Juls on 08/05/20This morning I was meeting my crew at Mazurik's a little before 6am for a 6 o'clock launch, and when I pulled in at 5:35 they were already there waiting for me. I readied the boat and we hit the water right on time and headed to the east side of Gull Island Shoal. It was 59 degrees, a partly cloudy sky, and a light wind.
Fishing with Jim and Karen Sarro 8/1/2020
by Capt Juls on 08/01/20Left the house at 5AM and stopped at the Fisherman's Wharf, downtown, and picked up some minnows (They're Goldies right now, and on the larger side), and ice. Then, on my way to Catawba State Park, I stopped at Herb's Drive-Thru to see if he had smaller Goldies, and they did. So, I picked up another 10 bucks worth and added them to the others already purchased. I put mine in a zip-loc bag and put them on ice in a small "6-Pack" cooler.
Fishing with Todd, Ethan, and Landon 7/30/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/31/20It was originally booked as a walleye trip, but with the NE winds forecast for the day, I asked Todd if his grandsons would be interested in fishing for perch instead. He said that the boys had never perch fished before, so that would be okay.
Fishing with Bill, Laura, and Jamie 7/26/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/26/20This is going to be a short one since it's Sunday and I have tomorrow off, due to a weather reschedule and I want to go do something...:)

Fishing with Dan and Ryan 7/24/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/24/20Left the house at 5AM, and headed into town to gas up the boat and get the usual 2 small bags, and 1 large bag, of ice for the cooler. I hit Mazurik's at 5:20 and readied the boat while Dan and his son, Ryan, made their way there to meet me.
Fishing with Dana and John 7/20/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/20/20The sun is coming up later now, so I was able to leave the house a little later this morning too. I headed into town to gas up and get ice for the cooler at 5am. Then, I headed over to Mazurik's to meet my crew at 5:30.
Fishing with Dennis and Jeff 7/18/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/18/20This is going to be really short, because there's a hunk of F 'Mignon waiting to be thrown on a grill, and I'm hungry!
Fishing with Dennis and Jeff 7/17/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/17/20I was off yesterday. This morning, I woke up at 3am and hit the back deck with some coffee. It was damp. The air was thick, and the wind was very light out of the SW. There was dew on everything, which meant I could easily wipe the boat down when I got to Bopper's early to meet my crew for some breakfast.
Fishing Two Days with Mike Krakow 7/13-14/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/14/20Yesterday, we launched out of Catawba at 6am, and fished west of the islands, over by the cans. The wind was out of the NE and the waves were 1-3 feet.
Fishing with Joe, Seth, and Carter Gregory 7/12/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/12/20It was a late start this morning, due to the wind forecast and the fact that I had three generations on the boat today. Joe brought his son, Seth, and his grandson, Carter, along for a walleye trip.

Fishing with Ken, Trista, and Gavin 7/10/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/10/20The cat started making puking noises at 2am to rid herself of a hairball. It was a half hour before my alarm was to go off, so I jumped up to grab a rag, and figured that was the end of my sleeping for the night. I put the coffee on and fed the beasts. Went out on the back deck to water the plants and check the day's forecast.
Fishing Two Days with Bryan, Chad, and Travis Stanzyk 7/8-9/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/09/20I took the holiday weekend off, and wasn't back on the water until yesterday. I didn't report yesterday, because...well...I was hot and in a pissy mood...lol
Fishing with Greg, Dave (Papa), and Jake 7/1/2020
by Capt Juls on 07/01/20Greg called me to see if I had any availability last week, and due to a reschedule I had today open for him, his dad Dave, and his son, Jake.
Fishing Day 2 with Chad and Tiffany 6/26/2020
by Capt Juls on 06/26/20Keeping this one short, as I have had a ton of chores to do when I got off the water today, and I'm not done yet.
Fishing with Chad and Tiffany 6/25/2020
by Capt Juls on 06/25/20My last two days were "blow days" and my customers rescheduled to the fall, so no report.
Fishing with Joe and Glenn 6/22/2020
by Capt Juls on 06/22/20I'm not even sure how to start this one, because this three day trip almost didn't happen! I made a booking error and had originally had two other fellas booked for today and tomorrow, but the other day they called and asked if they could reschedule, because they said the forecast didn't look very good. I said, "Sure, no problem. I was going to go to Wisconsin to visit family the first week of July, but have decided to stay home, so I can move you to July 1st and 2nd if you like". They agreed and moved their dates. I was kind of happy to have a couple days off after 8 straight days of fishing, so I climbed into bed thinking I would do some catching up on my sleep. Then, I got the text....
Fishing Day 1 with Jeff, Ty, and Jacob 6/20/2020
by Capt Juls on 06/20/20My eyelids felt like they were glued shut when the alarm went off this morning, but it was "time to make the doughnuts", so I got up and poured a cup of coffee to get me moving. That first sip always tastes so good. After a quick shower to perk me up, I went out on the back deck to take in the weather. It was warm and humid and there wasn't a breath of air moving. I knew it was going to be hot, sticky, and I was hoping the fish would be cooperative for our early start, so we could get off the lake before it got sweltering out there.
