Fishing with Three Generations of the Wirthman Family 5/27/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/27/22Joe Wirthman, his son, Charlie, and Charlie's son, Brandon, met me at Mazurik's at 5:30, this morning. We launched, just as the sky was beginning to lighten from its nightly sleep, and headed out into the South Passage.
Fishing with Matt, Brian, and John 5/21/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/21/22Matt, Brian, and John came up yesterday, from Cincinnati, and were instructed to meet me at Mazurik's at 5:30, this morning. I showed up there at 4:45, so I had time to change out baits, and get the dipsey rods ready for their first use of the season.
Fishing Day 2 with Jim and Gary 5/18/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/18/22Left the house at 5am, to go pick up my crew from their motel, at 5:15. It's only a mile down the road, so I thought I would be able to jump down the Tik-Tok rabbit hole for 5 or 10 minutes, before they came out, but they were already outside waiting for me to arrive... Ha! They climbed in the truck and we headed to the other side of town to gas up, get ice, and get to Mazurik's to launch.
Fishing with Jim and Gary 5/17/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/17/22Two of my fellow Walleye Central.com members fished with me this morning. Jim is from MN, and Gary is from Indiana...(that might be the other way around, but that's the way I remember it..lol)
Short Trip with Richard...5/15/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/16/22My crew for the two day trip, that would have been Saturday and Sunday was rescheduled, and I moved Richard from Monday to Sunday afternoon.
Fishing with Mark and Jim 5/12/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/12/22Mark and Jim are two more of my long time customers. I think I met them for the first time, the first year, when I started guiding 11 years ago. :)
Fishing with John 5/10/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/10/22I was able to kind of salvage a lost two day trip, due to big winds, by filling the second of the two days, with a willing customer. I had told him that the bite might be a little tough after the lake got riled up, like it did, but he still wanted to come.
Fishing with Mike, Huey, and Karen...5/5/2022
by Capt Juls on 05/05/22After two days off, due to a weather cancellation, Mother Nature gave us a reprieve, this morning, with very light NE wind, that was blowing around 3mph at 6AM.
Fishing with Jeff and Bart 4/30/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/30/22The wind forecast for this morning was showing 15-20 out of the ESE, but when I went out on the back porch at 3am, it was hardly blowing at all. I was hopeful that it wouldn't be as rough on the lake as I knew it would be at 15-20 today.
Fishing with Grant, Brandon, and Aaron 4/29/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/29/22Grant, and his crew, are another group that I had to reschedule from last fall, and again in March. We managed to finally make it out this morning.
Fishing with Jeff and Lee Burr 4/28/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/28/22Jeff wanted to take his Dad, who was visiting from California, out today, because they both love to fish. Thankfully, Mother Nature was not throwing a tizzy-fit again, so we were able to get the trip in.
Fishing with Frank and Ray 4/26/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/26/22It's the end of April, and after a beautiful weekend of summer-like weather, when we think it should be getting warm, with stable weather, good old Mother Nature says, "Hold my beer, watch this!" Boom...it was chilly, with a moderately gusty WNW wind this morning.
Fishing with a Guy Who Shall Remain Nameless, Matt, and Neal 4/25/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/25/22I left the house at 5:15 this morning...it was raining. Shaking my head, I asked myself, "Why did you bother cleaning the boat last night, ya dumb ass?" lol
Fishing with Casey, Amy, and Molly 4/24/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/24/22Casey, is another customer that has had to reschedule several times, due to weather, so it was nice to be able to get him and his wife Amy, and his daughter Molly out this morning.
Fishing with Karl and Anthony 4/23/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/23/22Finally, after rescheduling Karl and his nephew, Anthony, for the third time, we finally made it out on the lake. I hadn't been out since the 12th, due to wind/weather reschedules, so I was happy to get back to work, too! Karl drove in from Chicago, and picked up Anthony in Indiana on his way over here last night.
Just an Update....Lots of Reschedules....Stupid Wind!
by Capt Juls on 04/21/22I'm still alive...I just haven't been out since the 12th, due to wind and reschedules.
Fishing with Aaron, James, and Brian 4/12/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/12/22Aaron, James, and Brian came from SD to fish Lake Erie, and wanted to experience all the things they have heard about our fishery here.
Fishing with Pat Barrett 4/10/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/10/22My three day trip, with my North Dakota crew (that would have started Friday) rescheduled, so when I saw the forecast had improved for today, I contacted Pat, who was on my "Call me if you have an opening" list. He lives about an hour away, so it was convenient for him to agree to go on short notice.
Day 4 Fishing with "Doc", Tom, and Heath 4/5/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/05/22Pretty much a repeat of yesterday, so I won't bore you with what time I left the house, picked up the boat, etc. You're welcome. :)
Day 3 of 4 Fishing with "Doc", Tom, and Heath 4/4/2022
by Capt Juls on 04/04/22Left the house at 4:45 and drove across town, to hook up the boat, take it to get gas and ice, and get back to the building before my crew was to meet me there at 5:45. The plan was to trailer the boat to the east and launch over there, since it was going to start raining mid-morning, and a shorter run on the water is much better than a long one. :)
