I was down there this afternoon and I thought the same thing! I find there is usually a decent amount of water from there to the end of the pier so dredging required would be minimal. Burwell has WORLD CLASS fishing so why not have a half decent port?

Under 2 miles. You should be under power for about 5 minutes.

So does that mean you won't take me and my dear old grandma perch fishing this afternoon? I was just about to call... :P

Finally talked the old man into going perch fishing. Loaded up the boat and headed down to burwell to see how rough it was. Lake looked really flat, the old man has been known to chum the lake a time or two, so that meant it was a go. Unfortunately both places were closed, so we couldn't get...

It is around 17 miles down to Hastings.

What speed are you running at? Leadcore is incredibly speed sensitive. The faster you go the higher it runs in the water column. I am stunned that you have been running leadcore all summer and haven't caught any eyes on it. Put a 20# swivel on it, throw out a greasy chicken spoon and you...

That's too bad it has to be cancelled, it is a well run/organized tournament and North Erie does an excellent job hosting it. Would there be any chance there would be a wind date next year? I think this is something that a lot of people look forward too and I know I am really disappointed that...

Light winds in the morning...

Sorry the previous response was so brief, posted it on break at work. I didn't even fish shallower than 58-59 fow, so I can't comment on that nor did I pay attention to water temperature. Caught fish on both dipsy's and lead core. 5 colour with shallow diving lures caught 4 eyes, 8 color and...

Out of burwell this am, 8 eyes, 4 bows. Either is good.

17 lb braid is a little light for my liking, I would use 30 lb minimum (I and many others use 50 lb). On a 3 setting it should go out to the side, but not a crazy amount. Try letting it out the back of the boat 50' and see if the line is running away from the center of the boat. When you are...

Big props for wanting to learn how to make life smooth at the ramp. Hopefully this concept will become popular and others will follow your lead! If it is the backing up that slows you down you can practice that in an empty corner of a parking lot. Try to get used to using your mirrors as much...

Yup, always run snubbers, the bows will wreak havoc on your spread, there just isn't any give to it without them.

If you really want to fast track the learning curve your best bet is to go out with Walleye Obsession or Jimmy Riggin' again. Now that you have some experience you will be able to better understand what they are doing and why they are doing it.

+3 for AO, great prices, AMAZING customer service!
