Nice bonus smallie Ron.

That was a lot of fun this weekend.

The walleye fishing was hot and heavy on Friday evening and almost non existant on Saturday Morning other than bunches and bunches of the 2003 year class walleye. The walleye fishery will be great for the next few year to come.

The highlight(fishing) was when Lewis, Shakedown and I drifted over the top of the single largest school of HUGE sheephead that I've ever seen in all of my years of fishing Lake Erie. The fun part was catching all of these fish vertical jigging spoons, it was a blast.

A word of caution to anyone coming up to the Hawg Fest. Across the street from the Plantation is a small bar and grill with a pool table. DO NOT play against Shortdrift and Pipeliner in team 8 ball. The only thing these guys do better than fish is play pool. Lewis and I learned the hard way.

Anyone know if Roger is awake yet? :

 

We found out what all those good marks were!
I have never hooked so many sumo farm animals in my life!
Lundy is right...we were suckered..Medina Fatts and Stan "Pipeliner" Mosconi took us to school at the pool table.
Friday's Walleye fishing was hot...the beer was cold and the company was good!

 

you gotta pool table onboard toooo??:+)

 

Hey Guys,, I really had a great time. Brought home some nice fish and had the company of some great fisherman. And While we were slaying the Sumo Sheephead. I Picked Up a Nice Eye!!!!!

Hey Lundy and Lewis, as far as Pool, Ron and I was playing way over our heads And Luck had a lot to do with it too!!!!!

Hey Ron, Thanks a Million again... Hope we can go again soon. If not, see you at the Fest!!!!! I'll bring my Radios.....

It was good to see and talk with several Guys from the OGF Staff..... I sure hope Roger got home OK ...... Oh, and Lundy, Thanks for the Fillet knife and the Plastic Bag!!! Stan

 

I had enough fun for THREE people! <at least on Friday>

I needed to get away, thanks all for putting up with my drunken stupor Friday night. Had a great time on Saturday, even though we didn't put any quality fish in the boat we still caught plenty of fish.

 

Tee, Ruminator, and I all fished together and Tee was the only one to boat keeper walleye. He had two nice eaters. I caught about 759 gobies, several white perch, a couple dink yellow perch, two spike walleye, and some of those sumo-sized sheephead. They were FUN and quite a change after all those dang gobies!

Lots of fun, that's for sure. We'll have to get up there again sometime.

 

Yes It was definately a good time. I have some pictures to post once I learn how to email them from my Cell phone.....

Can't wait until the Fest. It is sure to be a good time!



I think ShakeDown has a pic or two to post from his cell phone too

Started out making the trip to Erie From Cincinnati. Almost didn't make it when I ran into BAD weather near Findlay......Here is the Funnel Cloud....

Then It turned into a Tornado __\/

I took a quick detour to get away from that...

I made it to the motel and enjoyed some much needed beverages


The fishing was kind of slow but it was a great day to be on the lake. We did manage our 759 Gobies . Then here is a picture of Big Daddy's BIG Sheephead.....

I ended up with 2 Eater Eyes......

It was a great time fishing/drinking/shooting bull with everyone. We got to do it again soon!


Tee

 

Medina Fatts...hahaha

GREAT time guys!! Way too short though. Lundy and Lewis sold me on trolling...although we didn't tear the eyes up (we boated only 1 keeper), that motherload of fish ohio sheeps on those hopkins spoons was really a blast. The constant trash fish bite was the only thing that kept me from thinking about how hung over I was

As for those pics Tee mentioned...as much as I would like to share them with the world, I have a feeling that the revenge that would come around from those might prevent me from fathering another child

I'll PM them to ya Tim!

 

Anyone else's ears still ringing???

 

It was a lot of fun getting the "Team" together and cutting loose a little. Thanks Tee for the fun trip out. We did indeed catch a ton of gobies, the little bait-stealers.
Stan, I can't believe that we were that close and didn't get a chance to say "Hi".
I look about 79 yrs. old in your pic Tee, standing behind Carl.

 

Hey Tee, just curious, what hotel did you stay at? Just got around to catching up on these posts and had to laugh thinking about your last trip up and your 5 star hotel room here in Fostoria.

Doug

P.S. see you the 19th.

 

Sounds like a good time. The lake looked pretty nice to be on Saturday morning.
Let's see, I was mowing two lawns and hauling wood on Saturday...Gotta get my priorities straight.
