Today we had our long overdue and much anticipated spring walleye trip with Capt Rick of Erie Quest and it was well worth the wait!
We arrived yesterday afternoon and checked into a little place called "Mike's Cabin" that Capt Rick had recommended.
This was the perfect place to take in Lake Erie for the first time. This is the front yard of the cabin;
Of course, Catfishsam and Booey had to test the new waters.
We met up with Capt Rick bright and early this morning. After a brief introduction and instruction on Lake Erie walleye fishing by the Captain for us southern boys, we moved into the waters of Maumee Bay and it was time to fish! The wind had changed directions and the waves were kicking up about 3 feet, but it didn't take long to hear "Fish on!"
"Booey" with a couple early 'eyes.
As the morning went on, the more the winds died down and it turned into a beautiful moring on the lake, and as the Captain said; "they're hungry!"
Chase in on the action.
Catfishsam, or maybe it's Walleyesam now?
I knew Chase had probably the best day fishing out of all of us, but I didn't even realize how good a day he had until I looked at the pics. I think he caught every big fish!
I like catching the "eater" sized 'eyes myself.
This is the fish that finished our limit. Talk about ending on a high note!!
3 Thumbs up for Capt Rick
It was a great morning on the lake! I have a bunch of video footage and if it's half as good as I think, it will be pretty darn cool! The boys are already saying that we need to make this an anual thing. Sounds good to me!
