Notice my buddy Pat from Bert's Custom Tackle. It's work like this that truly allows them to have Custom in their name. He is working on a prototype electronics mount that will hold both of my 10'' Humminbird units at the console.

Real Custom stuff...
In Ohio this is the time of year where it requires a long drive to find safe ice, and a short drive to find a ramp that is locked in by ice. Lucky for me I'm overwhelmed with work from our new book, rigging the new boat, and prepping all of the gear for use in a few weeks.

GIANT SUMO PERCH! and a bunch of random stuff
Just got back from a trip to Simcoe. We managed to catch a bunch of perch but figured out some really innovative ways to catch the big ones. Much like Lake Erie at times you have to figure out something to keep the little ones off and the big ones on. More on exactly what I'm talking out soon...I'm already working on a piece for the Ice Team site detailing this.
I used a lot of new or prototype equipment and have been super pleased in the last month or so. One that stood out was a new protoype Blood Run Ice line that will be coming out next year. Much like the old original golden stren this opaque line allows you to line watch and make sure your not caught on anything, makes tying knots a world easier, etc. This stuff is super strong for the small diameters...we have been messing with 2, 3, and 4lb test with panfish and perch, but it has held up well with some larger incidental catches.
Look for a new episode of the "Local Catch" coming in a few weeks or less. We caught some nice panfish and I make a fool out of myself a few times...funny stuff.
Lastly I'll be at several boat shows or seminars in the coming weeks. I also will be doing a seminar/workshop sat Feb 23rd At Netcraft in Maumee OH. Cost is $20, but includes a gift certificate for 20 to Netcraft...win win deal!
We still have spots open for the Spring walleye clinic that Bruce Samson, Johnnie Candle and myself will be putting on...this is one of the best projects I have been involved with. http://www.hightechfishing.com/store/Lake_Erie_Walleye_School.html
Book is also available for sale on the bigwaterfishing site.

Walleye School...w/ Bruce Samson, Johnnie Candle and Ross Robertson
Below is a rough layout of what we will be doing this spring. Get a hold of me with any questions...this is a class unlike any offered before!!!
Lake
Erie Walleye School
Johnnie Candle, Bruce 'Doc' Samson, and Captain
Ross Robertson announce their first Lake Erie Walleye school to be held at
Lighthouse Resort, Marblehead, Ohio located just a few feet from the shores of
Lake Erie widely considered the walleye capital of the world. Dates for the
school are April 11, 2013 - April 14, 2013.
Each of the
instructors brings with them a special skill set that makes this one of the most
complete fishing schools ever offered.
Candle is a
19 year veteran of professional tournament angling and the 2010 World Walleye
Champion. For the past twelve years he has been sharing his fishing knowledge
via the Scheels Walleye University Series which he developed. His seminars have been heard by thousands of
people from coast to coast as he has presented in states from New York to
Washington.
Bruce “Doctor Sonar” Samson is also a highly
decorated tournament angler. He has won
8 major professional walleye tournaments. He holds a World Walleye Champion
title as well as an RCL National Championship title. He is most well known for his DVD series on
understanding sonar. There is no better
marine electronics expert in the country.
Ross Robertson owns and operates one of the most
respected guide services on Lake Erie.
He has become known as the expert when it comes to targeting trophy
walleye on the big pond. His articles
have been seen in In-Fisherman, Field and Stream, Outdoor Life and several
other national magazines. Ross can also
be found hosting various TV shows including his own and through his book and
DVDs on walleye fishing.
This school will utilize the skills of each teacher
as you will learn to build a game plan to break down the water and locate fish
quickly. Your electronics will make much
more sense when you leave. The
techniques for catching trophy walleye will no longer elude you upon the
completion of this class. This is one
you will not want to miss.
Testimonial from a previous school
“I
learned more in short 4 day weekend than in 30 years of teaching myself:
presented in a true classroom fashion on
a premier walleye lake!.....An outstanding value, the best money you will ever
spend on fishing!” R.J. Theil, Champlin,
MN
