2nd Annual Perch/Walleye outing

Outing will be held Saturday, August 20th (weather permitting).

It will be up to the captains as to what species they target (Perch or Walleye or both?) and depending on the action, it will be up to the captains as to where they would like to launch. I know Conneaut has been smoking hot for us for both perch and walleye. Walnut seems to be good for perch, but the walleye seem to be thinner there. As we get closer, we will be able to gauge a little bit better on how the fishing is.

Once again this is open to anyone and everyone. We need the involvement of boat owners first and foremost to hold the event. Without these guys/girls, we would not be able to hold the event.

Just like last year, as we get enough participation, we can start assigning fisher-people to the boats. And also like last year, there will be a fuel and bait split on each boat accordingly. This is not a charter by any means, this is just a way to take the burden off the captains fuel and bait bill.

So let's start by having the boat owners and captains reply with their availability and how many people they can accomodate. Once we get a few boats, we can start having a sign up for passengers.

Also, just like last year, we will have a picnic afterwards and we will also clean the days catch.

Thanks in advance guys and girls!

Boats:
Bulldog - Deetz & DT (Wall of Nuts?)
Kingnuke - 300 Mag & Son(fishing out of Conny)
BloodyHand -Akita & Wife (Fishing out of East Ave.)
SUNF - Steely & Friend(fishing out of Conny)
Lovgren - PA Wolfman & Hendy(fishing out of Conny?)
Bogeyjoker - Beaverfishing & Outdoor Addict(fishing out of NE)




Picnic will be held at Pine Lane Campground in Lake City (aprox 2 miles west of Elk Creek Access on Rt.5). Let's say we all meet back there at 2 p.m. It will cost each person $3 to enter the campground, but that gives us access to the picnic shelter and the fish cleaning station. There is room to park some rigs and vehicles as well.

Let's get a food list going.
We need some drinks, chips, burgers, dogs & buns. BYOB

Kingnuke & I will cook fresh perch and walleye. We will provide all entails of that. I will also provide all utensils & paper products.

well let me get at the top of line and say heartily to any person willing to play host on a boat...

I am interested and would be very really grateful. As a proud dad, my daughter had the TIME of her life last year, and had a huge smile hoisting up her first walleye.

hopefully, we can share another great experience.

I was lucky enough to go out on "DreamCatcher" last year.. Had a great time.. Donnie was a great host...
Would love the oportunity to go back out again (any boat, 1 adult), But even if not, My girlfriend and I will still attend the cookout.. Put me down for Pasta salad... TY..

My boat will be available for 2 people 99% chance we will be launching out of Conneaut Ohio so an OH license would be required, trolling for eyes and maybe some jerking depending on weather bite etc. Also starting time will most likely be 0430 AM so someone local or staying the night before in Erie.

there is a good chance i will be there and i can accomodate 2 additional ppl if trolling for eyes or 3 additional people if anchored up for perch.  i will let you know for sure a little closer to the date

I will attend if I can switch days off at work. This will be known at a later date.

regretfully austin and i can not attend this year. Maybe next year hope you all have as good a time as we did last year. everybody be safe and enjoy the lake good luck and catch a lot of perch and eyes and i hope to see a lot of cool pics. and again I cant say thankyou enough to king nuke and big slick you guys showed us a great time.

Doesn't seem like much support here especially from the captains, if we do not get a few more this event will not happen.

I would be interested in going if possible especially if my son can get that day off.  I have an Ohio license also as someone mentioned launching out of Conneaut.

I would be glad to also help with the boat expenses.  Not sure if I could stick around for the after party as I have a 3.25 hour drive to get home.

thats 13

My brothers and I will be taking the long trip up to Erie with our families over the weekend of the 20th. We were not involved with last years event, but would be thrilled to join in. There would be 2, maybe 3 passengers. Since we do not have too many opportunities to make the trip, we would be happy to cover any expenses. More details would be appreciated. If nothing else, meeting everyone for the meal would be just as enjoyable!

Just throwing it out there, but last year there were 13 additional passengers and 8 boats

Bulldog - # not sure
Kingnuke - 2 seats open (fishing out of Conny)

as of 11:07pm on July 27, 2011

Any passengers that will be going out of conny with a captain, you can get a day license for $11
I'm not sure if you can buy the one day through this website https://www1.oh.wildlifelicense.com/index_hf.php or if it's easier to go through http://www.ohiodnr.com/wildlife/dow/regulations/vendor.aspx
Whatever the case, just giving you a heads up.

thanks for the heads up.  3 weeks to go til the tentative date, 4 boats... kingnuke might be right

$985 reserves the EJ. That means 30 people (at the regular price) or more at least to reserve the boat.

just sayin'

Ok. Let's not start bringing old conflicts into this thread... its just not needed. Plain and simple, this was a great event last year and everyone had fun especially the people who don't get out on the lake often. For the most part, you arent going to be paying $32 a person. Bringing a few dozen nightcrawlers for eyes or buying the shiners for perching might be enough of a contribution depending on who you are with. Or even throwing money for some gas.

If you want to go on the Edward John, go... no one will stop you. The outing is more personal than the charter and you get the chance of going home with more than just perch.
