Walleye Fishing on Lake Erie with Misfit Charters - rough water ahead
Вставка

- My best friend from high school asked me to join her on her nephew's fishing charter boat for some Walleye fishing on Lake Erie. Little did we know that far ahead of time how rough the seas would be. One of us did not fare so well, the other was happy to be on the lake again with a fishing pole in hand despite the fact that I couldn't catch anything.

Looks like you still had fun despite rough waters 🐟🐟
I did, but my poor friend was not doing well. It was good to be back out on the lake again. I sure do miss it.
In my opinion the waves were giving you a nice walleye chop. Hard to tell from video, but given the lack of steady whitecaps I'd say you had 3 fts tops.... but I could be wrong. Relative to missing fish, ensure you have your drag set correctly and slow down on your retrieve. My advice would be to hold the rod with your left hand about a foot up from the reel. Keep your tip up and do a steady retrieve, when the fish see's the boat and takes a dive - do not reel in, let the drag do its job. But it looks as though you had fun, that is all that counts....
Thank you for watching. I had a ball. It had been almost 5 years since I was out on the lake and I definitely lost my touch. I need to relearn. Our charter boat captain was great and had it not been for the fact that my friend was getting seasick, I'm sure I would have gotten my technique back. Here's to trying again in May. Hopefully with calmer seas.
I'm surprised that the captain didn't even give you guys a minute with thise fish to take a photo or anything. He didn't even ask! He just tossed the fish back.
If I had caught a decent sized fish, I would have asked for a picture. The ones he threw back weren't really worth getting a picture of. And the only decent sized fish caught that day was not mine, it was caught by a member of the crew while I filmed the catch. So I'm OK with it. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
Reels with the clickers on is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Noooo!!
Wow, good hearing. I agree, but it wasn't my personal fishing reel. My biggest problem was standing up - not to mention getting a good hookset. Thank you for watching. I'm really looking forward to going out next spring, and calmer waters.
That boat is big enough for 3-5 footers. Just a little bumpy.
Yes, it handled well. Can't say the same for one of the customers, LOL. Thanks for watching!
need to do better in recording if you're going to post... :(
I’m sorry you weren’t happy with the video, but I appreciate your honesty. Please keep in mind that I am fairly new and still learning because we all have to start somewhere.
