PS, look for the guys in a boat on the ice.

My brother fishes Erie hard during the warm weather months. They focus mostly on perch. He's running a 27 foot boat now with good electronics. They've gotten to the point where they have a pretty good handle on getting the big perch. They are taking fish in the 12 to 16 inch range pretty frequently. He does some killer fish fries a few times a year, and we always have a big fish fry the weekend bedfore deer season opens up at camp in Pa. Just about evey year they tangle with something very big that they never get a look at. He figures it's a big walleye or a sheephead, but they locked into something last year that literally spun his boat end for end as he fought it. 'Burned up the drag system on his Penn spinning reel and eventually broke the line.

Something that big sounds like a sturgeon.

I fished the Detroit river last 2nd week of April, I had 2 really nice fish, 1 10lbs another 8.5lbs. The pro walleye tournament was going on the first couple of days we were there, some of the limit of 5 fish were over 40lbs.

A lot of those images are very familiar, i can identify the parking lot they are launching from as being Magee Marsh. I live 50 miles from there and fish the hard water every winter. In fact I caught my limit of walleye there yesterday. After navagigating the cracks in the ice on my way back in I am very interested in how the motorized wheel was attached to the johnboat.

Went out yesterday by myself.

Picked up 2 in the 2.5 to 3 # range, and 4 in the 6.5 to a little over 8#'s

They were being very fussy as to depth, and lure after the big rains, and wind we had for the last 4 days.

Going back out with my regular fishing partner tomorrow morning, we usually do pretty good...
