Day 2 with Bob and DeAnn Herting 5/4/16
by Capt Juls on 05/04/16We left out of Mazurik's at 6:30am and started to head to D Can, but stopped short to check the marks on the south side of Starve. We set up, but didn't stay very long, because the conditions didn't look bad out on the main part of the lake, and we decided to head back to the area we were at yesterday, between D Can and Niagara.
Fishing with Bob and DeAnn Herting 5/3/16
by Capt Juls on 05/03/16Bob and DeAnn drove in from South Dakota yesterday, and met me out in front of their hotel at 6am this morning. We hit Bopper's for breakfast, and then headed over to Catawba to launch, since we were planning on hitting the area between D Can and Niagara.
Fishing with the Tebben Family 4/30-5/1/16
by Capt Juls on 05/02/16Saturday was a humbling day. We started fishing at Round Reef, then trolled Middle Bass to Rattlesnake, checked north of North Bass (too clean and no marks), fished west of West Reef, Green, and Catawba....we zeroed. Uffda!
Day 2 with Mike, Nick, and Max 4/26/16
by Capt Juls on 04/26/16We started out well, but cancelled after two hours, due to sea sickness. So, no report today.
Fishing with Mike Hamsa and Cousins 4/25/16
by Capt Juls on 04/25/16I swung by the Holiday Inn Express at 5:45 this morning and picked up my crew for the day. Mike, and his cousins, Nick and Matt, were hungry, so we headed to Bopper's for a quick breakfast. When we left, I headed to Mazurik's, but after pulling in, I decided it would be better to launch at Catawba, because I wanted to head to Niagara to start the trip.
Fishing with Mike and his Buddies 4/24/16
by Capt Juls on 04/24/16Woke up at 3:30am, which was too early, but I couldn't sleep, so I got up and put the coffee on. I checked the weather and wind forecast, and was pleasantly surprised to find it was going to be a nice morning.
Fishing with the Montana Men...Cont'd 4/21-22
by Capt Juls on 04/24/16After a fun week of fishing with Craig and Scott, my boat was dirty, my house was dirty, my yard was full of dog poo, and my dogs were giving me the "big sad eyes", so I opted to clean everything up and take the dogs for a ride, and walk, yesterday instead of taking the time to write the blog.
Day 3 of a 5 Day Trip with the Montana Men 4/20/16
by Capt Juls on 04/20/16I just want to say, I have been super busy with taking care of my customers, my dogs and cats, my house guest, and my house and yard work...in that order. The blog, unfortunately, is not the highest priority on my "to do" list.
Fishing with the Chapman's on their New Boat 4/17/16
by Capt Juls on 04/17/16I had a customer reschedule for today, so I had called my other regular customers, Steve and Jeremy Chapman. They have fished with me for the past 5 years, so I know them very well, and they jumped at a chance to fish on a nice day...however...they asked if we could take their new boat out for the first time, and set it up to fish for walleye. I agreed, that I thought it would be a good idea too.
Sorry for the lack of Reports the last couple of trips!
by Capt Juls on 04/17/16It's been a super busy weekend and this week will be better for reports.
Fishing with Mike, Steve, and Bob 4/13/16
by Capt Juls on 04/13/16Got up early this morning and made a fresh batch of brownies for my crew today. I have fished with Mike before. He usually fishes with Chris Utter, from Wisconsin, but Chris won't be in until tonight, because he had to stay behind to finish up some work...so, Mike brought Steve and Bob down to fish with him today.
Won't be back on the water until Wednesday....
by Capt Juls on 04/11/16Due to water and weather conditions this past weekend, my Sunday/Monday trip was rescheduled, as well as my Tuesday trip too.
Fishing with Ken and Doug 4/5/16
by Capt Juls on 04/06/16I have to admit, I wasn't looking forward to fishing yesterday, because of the muddy lake conditions, and the cold temps in the morning. I'm fighting a stubborn cold right now, and the thought of sitting out there in 30 degree temps was less than appealing. They still wanted to go yesterday, so since it was fishable, we made it happen.
Mother Nature is throwing a Hissy Fit...
by Capt Juls on 04/04/16Just an update....My weekend trips were rescheduled, thus no reports.
Fishing with the Schneider Family 3/29/16
by Capt Juls on 03/29/16It's hard to get up early, and then have to wait half a day to get on the water. The northwest winds were blowing hard this morning, but the forecast promised that it would lay down towards noon. I had originally set up a 9:30 pick up at their hotel, but changed it to a 10:30 pick up, so we could launch at 11am.
Fishing with Jeff and Don 3/27/16
by Capt Juls on 03/27/16Repeat customers, Jeff Smith, and his friend, Don, met me at my house this morning at 6:30. They drove down from Michigan, and were hungry, so after stopping to top off the gas tank in the Ranger, we headed to Boppers for some breakfast.
Fishing with Tim and Matt 3/26/16
by Capt Juls on 03/26/16Picked up my crew at 6:15 at the Walmart parking lot. Tim and Matt brought up a camper to sleep in overnight, so that was a win win location. Cheap for them, and easy for me to pick them up. :)
Fishing with Greg, Shane, and Adam 3/20/15
by Capt Juls on 03/20/16I hadn't been out since last Tuesday, before the blow, and I was a little apprehensive about what kind of bite it would be after the winds we just had.
Fishing with the Chapman's 3/15/16
by Capt Juls on 03/16/16Steve and Jeremy Chapman drove up from Columbus, and met me at the Catawba ramp at 8am. They were only an hour late (as usual)...lol But, I love these guys, and they fish with me a lot, so I'm used to waiting on them. Jeremy and I even joke about it. He told me before, "Tell my dad that you want us there an hour earlier than the time you actually want to go, and we'll be on time"!
