Blessed to be a fisherman on Lake Erie

February 11th, 2013 by Captain Jim

I feel especially grateful today for being able to call myself a full time fisherman. I am someone who actually feeds his family by being on the water almost everyday. During the beautiful months of spring summer and fall here in Western NY, there is no more productive body of water anywhere, then Lake Erie.

I say 25 out of 35 years due to the fact that when I started guiding, I was a die hard tournament fisherman and would have rather… Read More
