by Capt Juls on 02/17/20I picked up the new Ranger 621 FS Pro back on the 7th, and got some aftermarket things installed, and she's ready to go!
Fishing for the Heck of it...1/28/2020
by Capt Juls on 01/28/20Headed out this morning at 11:30 from Huron with my friend, Jenn Weiland. She's the "Her" part in "H & H Charters" (His and Hers).
Fishing for "Back to the Wild" Wildlife Rescue 1/15/20
by Capt Juls on 01/15/20This morning I drove the jeep over to Jenn's house so we could hook my Ranger up to her Yukon, because I didn't know if the ramps would be icy or not, and she has 4WD. My old Excursion is only 2WD.
Fishing with Tom and Bob 12/28/19
by Capt Juls on 12/28/19Tom and Bob drove in from Cincinnati this morning and were meeting me at Mazurik's for an 8am launch. The Ranger was already gassed up, so I only needed to get some ice for the fish cooler, and hit Big Bopper's for some breakfast, before heading to the ramp.
Fishing with Jim Renaldo 12/7/19
by Capt Juls on 12/07/19I woke up at 3am this morning, and thought about what I was going to do today. I was meeting Jim Renaldo at Mazurik's at 7:30. I grabbed a cup of coffee and took the dogs out back to do their thing. I took a quick look at the wind forecast, and smiled. I like it when the colors are light blue, because that means it's less than 10 mph out of whatever direction it's blowing. This morning it was a turning wind. It blew yesterday out of the WNW, and then, overnight, it laid down and calmed right down.
Fishing with Chris and Kelly Literski 11/29/19
by Capt Juls on 11/29/19Chris and Kelly drove a little over 2 hours this morning, coming in from MI, and met me at the house at 6:50am. We headed over to Anchor's Away to pick up the Ranger, and then on to Mazurik's where we launched at 7:30.
Fishing with Capt Jenn and Capt Eric 11/26/19
by Capt Juls on 11/26/19Today, I took Capt Jenn Wieland and Capt Eric Litton out for a day of Brawl'n and just plain old "fun fishing".
Fishing with Steve and Jeremy Chapman 11/18/19
by Capt Juls on 11/18/19Last night the winds were calm and the temps were in the 30's. The sky had cloud cover so the lake would be dark, and the fish might not feed as well as they did during the full moon. Today I would be fishing with my regulars, Steve and Jeremy Chapman. I found out while we were fishing, that this was a present from Jeremy, to his Dad, for Steve's Birthday. :)
Fishing with Marc Miller, Cody, and Conner
by Capt Juls on 11/18/19The parking lot was 1/2 full already, and the get-ready lanes were full too. I could feel an air of excitement around me as I stepped out of the truck to go free the straps that bind my gal to the trailer, and turn everything on.
Fishing with Bob and Bruce Brenton 11/6/19
by Capt Juls on 11/06/19Bob and Bruce drove in from MI this morning and met me at my house at 7am. We headed to town for the usual gas up and bait/ice pick up, and then over to Mazurick's to launch. We hit the water at 7:45 and only had to wait about 5 minutes for the ETEC to warm up to temp before I could put the Ranger up on plane.
Day Two Fishing with Mary and Nancy 10/29/19
by Capt Juls on 10/29/19I picked my crew up at 6am from the White Caps Motel and we headed into town to gas up the truck, pick up minnows and ice from Hi Way Bait, and stop off at Bopper's for some breakfast. (I know, I previously said that we would be hitting Berardi's in Huron for breakfast, but they didn't open until 7am, so it was a timing thing. Besides, Big B's has Pumpkin Pancakes with caramel sauce and whipped cream right now....and, just for the record, they are delicious!)
Fishing with Mary and Nancy 10/28/19
by Capt Juls on 10/28/19Mary and Nancy drove in from Columbus this morning and were to meet me at Mazurik's at 7:30. I had left early this morning, so I would arrive there at 7am. I wanted to tie up some crappie rigs for our perch trip today. They had beat me there and were a 1/2 hour early! But, because they are women...it didn't surprise me one bit, and it made me chuckle, because it seems I'm usually waiting for men to arrive on time. ;)
Fishing with Steve and Jeremy Chapman 10/25/19
by Capt Juls on 10/25/19I left the house at 6:15am this morning, to meet my crew over in Huron at 7:30. After hitting the gas station to gas up the Ranger, and Rickard's Bait for some minnows, I headed east down Rt 2.
Fishing with Tim, Matt, and Wyatt 10/18/19
by Capt Juls on 10/18/19Well, the two days earlier this week that I had scheduled didn't work out. Mike didn't want to come down to only get one of two days in, so he rescheduled his trip to next July.
Fishing with Kim, Garrett. Wyatt, and Wesley 10/9/19
by Capt Juls on 10/10/19Sorry, that it's been a while since I last blogged here....but, there was nothing to blog about.
Fishing with Guy, Brennan, and Dom 9/19/19
by Capt Juls on 09/20/19I left the house at 5:45 this morning, and headed into town to gas up the Ranger and grab some ice from Rickard's. I was driving over to Huron to meet my crew there. Guy, Brennan, and B's son, Dom, are from the Cleveland area, so it was a shorter drive to the launch for them, if I met them over there.
Fishing with Dave and Debbie DeVroy...9/11/19
by Capt Juls on 09/11/19Just a quick note about Day Two with Bob, Mike, and Larry yesterday.....great guys to fish with, but the fishing sucked out of Huron for us yesterday. We only caught 7 small eaters, so there wasn't much to talk about. Deep sigh....lol
Day One of Two with Bob, Mike, and Larry 9/9/19
by Capt Juls on 09/09/19I picked my crew up from the White Caps Motel at 6am and we headed to Big Bopper's after gassing up and hitting Rickard's Bait for some ice. I did pick up 4 scoops of minnows too, in case the walleye bite was faster than my previous trips, so we could try for some perch if there was time.
Two days with Tyler, Angie, and Rod... 9/6-7/19
by Capt Juls on 09/07/19Tyler, Angie, and Rod drove overnight Thursday night, from Nebraska, to get here bright and early Friday morning for a couple of days of fishing. They were scheduled for a Saturday/Sunday trip, but the forecast was calling for calm winds on Friday and Saturday was looking iffy, so they made the decision to drive overnight to fish on Friday. Their second day would be either Saturday or Sunday, whichever had the better winds. As it turned out, we ended up fishing yesterday and today.
Haven't Been Out Since Last Thursday
by Capt Juls on 08/27/19For those of you who check this daily, I'm sorry there isn't anything to report.
