Perch outing for Fish Erie?

Wasn't the other trip for youths in an orphanage?

I think Beerman put together a trip on the Ej awhile back...I could be wrong.

I would be interested in a "perch outing", if your kid ban was lifted, or modified. If VP ain't invited....I'm out....without hard feelings. Some duuds don't like to fish with the kids....and thats ok with me.  If I went out on the perch bouy and left my boy home.....I'd never be forgiven.

Maybe a bring your kid at your own risk policy?....you probably can't say much my kid ain't heard. He hears, but is smart enuff to not repeat.

No Offense but if no kids I won't go either

The "regulars" couldn't get on cause the "kids" wanted to fish.....


No disrespect...I'll skip your outing...hope you old duuds and regulars enjoy.

They'd probably throw me overboard....

If they're old enough to require a license, is that still to young?

I consider myself a very serious angler and love to fish and i do so every chance i get. But I will aways give up a spot or a chance to fish to take a child out fishing and let them experience what i love so much. I get a kick out of a kid hookin into something and seeing his eyes light up when he brings the fish to the boat. That to me is worth more than catching some fish and telling the kid to move out of my spot or not to come at all. Let the kids be kids while they can be. They will grow up someday and look back on fishing with that special someone and wanna do the same for a child they know. Liverache I think its kinda rude that you even mention not wanting kids on the boat. Cant fishing just be a relaxing day full of fun once in a while? When its all said and done thats what fishing is all about anyway. No hard feelings just my opinion.

I'm picturing a flotilla like the "yachters" just outside the bay

Count me and my boat in, I'll have room for 2 or 3 extra.

Okay, yall have a nice time, "NO DISRESPECT" but I really thought what I was doing was something decent for some that might be interested.The idea was to make it for the members of Fish Erie, enjoy yourselves.

Liverache... I don't want anyone on here to be upset... and I don't read your posts as intending to upset anyone...I have never had trouble with the folks participating in this thread and don't want to see ill feelings because of it between anyone!... each person here has their own idea of how they want a day to be and I can understand the attraction of being able to walk on a boat and be able to socialize and fish without having to worry about the technicalities involved.
 
For myself, I am not familiar with the EJ, have never been on it, don't know how many people it will hold and if they do 'exclusive' trips that would allow it be just Fish Erie folks, and if so what that cost may be... there are probably those on here who would be interested. Some folks may prefer the larger boat as opposed to personal watercraft... keep the idea open and folks can participate as they want...

got room for 2 more on our boat

 I have no boat big enough for Erie but if enough people are interested I'm in if there is room for 1 or 2.

The Edward John or tag along with boat owners, either way is fine with me. Be glad to help with gas expenses also on private boats.

I think on the last perch outing I caught one perch so hopefully the catching will be better this time if it's a go.

Yes, I'm guilty of organizing a couple of FishUSA perch outings in the past. I met some good dudes
from this site in the past and had a great time.


Personally I would be interested in going on the EJ sometime at the end of summer (August), with
some members of this site.

Let's keep the dialog about this topic going!

x2.
(i'll bring mine, but 2' or less for me ! deetz, you aint seen small !)

I hear you ! Still was WAY more comfortable in my ol leaky 16' starcraft than I am in the sea ray ski boat I'm drivin now. If two people sneeze at the same time water comes over the front !

we'll I might seriously consider going... if we can get to a place and time.

it seems odd to stumble over the issue of kids-- after all , you guys did this before.  where kids invited then or not?  I will not lie,  taking a kid might make this an easier sell for the wife. but...I don't know.  It'll prolly be a sell either way. 

nonetheless its a shame to give up on the idea entirely.  you had what 30 some anglers together last year,didn't you?

I always think about going to the get together , well one day I'm going to do it!  & Perchin off the EJ would be a good one.  If greg or whoever is willing to set a date and start a list.  I'll go ask for permission .
