Capt. Bob...Yeah, I got the "Greenhorn" label, too. Kinda of a putdown (I've been chartering for 20 years).
I'm with you...the cabin fever is pretty high. Can't wait until iceout either. I plan to have the boat in around the first week of April, weather permitting. I'll be docking at Anchors Away at Catawba through May, then drop back to Vermilion, my home port. I was in Vermilion today. The icebreaker was in the river and it's starting to flow out. River may be clear of ice by next week. There's been a lot written in recent weeks about the state of walleye fishing in Lake Erie. Most it bad and it's hurting my business a little. Bookings are coming but it's slow. But I think the spring fishing will be OK. We'll know more by June 15. As always, there will be a lot of walleye in that Western Basin this spring. As for the fever, read a couple magazines and call me in the morning. Capt. Tony Denslow Mega Bites Charters [signature]

Hi Capt Tony. I have not heard any thing negitive about this year. Maybe because I am stuck away in southern Mich.
Last Spring was really bad. I only ran 5 out of my first 20 trips. During the PWT was the only good weather. I fished no more then 2 miles out of Wild Wings. limited out three days in a row. Once my last rift was .6 miles from the marina. Then nothing but big wind for days. June we fished along the michigan border and the ditch with good results July was very good as it has been for many years. Limit catchs were the norm. Many of my crews went home with limit catches and we were out no more then 8 or 9 miles. I do fish down your way starting in September. It was really good. Lots of Jumbo Perch and big Eyes. I personally think we are going to have a great year. Hope to see you on the lake. [signature]

[cool][cool]Hi, Bob,
Thanks for the comeback. We had some good days out of Vermilion last summer, too. I don't recall many limits but we had quite a few days where we came back in with 25 eyes and a 4 pound average. Nice eyes. An Amish guy I know fished out of Wildwings last spring and did well when he could get out. only ventured as far as the nuke plant reefs. Long run from Catawba. Where were you getting fish in July? That sounded great, especially for the west end. Will you be docking at Wildwings this spring? Maybe we can hook up and you can give me some pointers on that fishing over by Wildwings. Tight lines...Capt. Tony [signature]

Tony we were fishing north east of West Sister. Yes i will be at Wild Wins until late august. Then I move to Hurls Harbor.
You welcome to come fish anytime. I hope to be in the water as soon as Ice out. I have new boat to play with. Keep in touch [signature]
03-13-2003, 01:14 AM
Bob, I'll keep in touch...congrats on the new boat. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do my 30 Baha.

hi guys , just wanted to say i haven' heard any thing neg. about the western basin either , i did hear some disturbing reports about saganaw bay here in the mit . last years spawning run was pretty low compaired to previous years . a steady decline in the past five .
what's the time of year when they start hanging around the lighthouse ? [signature]

Al, which light house? Bob [signature]

stormy and was out ice fishing with the guy who came in 4th place in last years walleye tournament on commerce lake monday.
he was telling me that the spring tournament was comming up soon. I figure that this is the last weekend for ice fishing here in sothern michigan. ouyr creeks and rivers have been opening fast the last few days. even though the temps are dropping below freezing every night, the ice is melting from both the top and bottom. my lake is holding up for the moment, it only takes 4-5 worm days to open up my lake.

i'm pretty sure the light house is 3 to 5 miles out below the down channel in trenton mi. after the spawn the walleye head there . ( could be a fish tale i was told ) . i gave all my old charts away to a fellow fisherman in ecorse before i left for life in the north . i had all my hot spots with g.p.s. locations on them . i kept hearing about the light house , but never ventured out that far . i didn't have a whole lot of faith in my boat at that time .
