Pre tournament tips and Tactics

Boundaries:  the Eastern boundary is a line of longitude, 82-30 on the east which runs roughly point Pelee in Canada to Huron Ohio. The Western boundary is 83 degrees longitude, which runs roughly through the C-can buoy.  You may not venture outside these boundaries during the tournament.  the northern boundary is the United States--Canadian border.  Contestants may fish outside these boundaries during the closed period if they launch and remain completely outside the tournament boundaries. 

Walleyes will be judged as always at the West harbor Ramp by the PWT crew.  Deductions will be assessed for dead fish or those that cannot maintain a normal swimming position.  Fizzing must be done prior to arriving at the ramp.  Keep pumps running so the fish are in good shape at the weight in.  After weight-in, the Ohio DNR wants all fish donated to the Sandusky and Toledo soup kitchens for the needy. 

The PWT is researching the possibility of washing down boats and trailers and purging and cleaning of bilges and livewells after the final weight-in.  More will be learned about this at the mandatory rules meeting. 

Remember amateurs the customary gas and bait split with the pro's is $25.00 a day.  amateurs are not allowed to take any tackle into the pro's boat the pro will provide everything.  and always remember what you learned as an amateur during practice, on your own or while fishing with a pro during competition may not be shared with your pro partner's. 

Many tackle and marine manufacturers will be in attendance at Lake Erie.  Be sured to visit with themand thank them for supporting the pros and as always thank the many volunteers for there help.

Port Clinton’s downtown Water Works Park was the site of the first In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail (PWT) tournament of the season. The pros and amateurs will be on the water Thursday and Friday, trying to bring the maximum weight (5-fish) to the scales. The pro winner will collect $50,000 of the $203,000 purse. The top amateur will earn $12,500. Takasaki, a top walleye contender, fished with Greg Borgosz, Clarence Center, NY.Amateurs fish with a different pro each day for a combined boat weight.
The contestants enjoyed the favorable conditions and flat seas for the entire 5-day practice period and opening competition day. In second place are rookie pro James Myszkewicz, Burlington, WI and his amateur partner Lance Weber, Union Grove, WI, with 35.53 pounds. The third place partners, pro Jeff Taege, Mosinee, WI and amateur Owen McConville, Pella, IA came in with 34.37 pounds. Two-thirds of the field limited.The largest walleye of the day, 10.45 pounds, paid $1,850 to pro Jim Klick, White BearLake, MN. Other Walleye Angler Big Fish awards went to amateur Tim Herink, Plainfield, IL for a 9.83-pounder. It paid $1,200. The third place prize of $800 went to pro Todd Grams, Cottage Grove, WI, with a 9.62-pounder. And, amateur Borgosz won $700 for a 9.38-pounder.He also won a Flambeau TS 2000 tackle storage system for the heaviest weight of the day.The average weight was 4.15 pounds and the 2,100 walleyes caught were donated to the SeaGate Food Bank in Toledo at the request of the Ohio DNR. A total of seven walleyes over nine pounds were weighed. 

The weigh-in activities take place in downtown Port Clinton at 3:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday. The ceremonies present opportunities to meet and greet the pros, check out their gear and learn new tactics.
 
 

Day 1: May 6, 1998
           Weather- Mostly sunny with winds from 0 to 5 mph.
           Pro Partner- Mr. Tommy Skarlis
           Boat- Ranger 690 VS Fisherman
           Flight Number 1- Due back at 3:15 p.m. 

Most of the mourning was spent fishing crawler harnesses with #6 pounded silver or orange/chartreuse blades, fifty feet back to a 1 ½ ounce snap weight and finally fifty feet to the  planer boards with TattleTale flags. The average depth was 32 feet deep.  Most of the fish were suspended about five to eight feet from the bottom.  By 11:30 we had roughly twelve pounds of fish in the livewell, and the bite had really slowed down.  We noticed that few boats around us were netting any fish.  Mr. Skarlis decided to make a change to crankbaits.  We trolled cranks for about 45 minutes until we caught another fish, a nice six pounder.  After that we started catching a fish about every 10 to 15 minutes for the next hour and a half.  All of the fish were in the five to six pound range. Most of the fish were caught on  Risto Rap with a crawler on the first treble hook one hundred feet back to the planer boards.  The TattleTale flags on the Off Shore planer boards made it real easy to detect strikes and when a fish was on the line.  Being from Minnesota and not having much experience with planer boards this was a tremendous help to me.  Mr. Skarlis was a great partner to fish with and has quite a sense of humor.  We brought five fish to the scales that weighed a total of just over 32 pounds, which was good enough to place us seventh for the day, just six pounds out of first.

Myszkewicz is fishing as a rookie pro after two years touring as a PWT amateur. “Learning from the pros and now paying attention to details has made all the difference,” he said. He trolled slow (.8 to 1 mph) with  Junior Thundersticks on one side and  #3 Willow spinners on the other. He started at 18-feet and brought the lures up higher as the day went on. Most anglers are also trolling crankbaits or spinners and crawlers with  in-line trolling boards. Tactics will be shared from the stage at Water Works Park starting at 3:00 p.m. Friday. The stage show and ceremonies are free to the public in downtown Port Clinton. A total of 67 limits came to the stage on day two, with six fish over nine pounds. The daily catch of one ton of walleyes was donated to the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky. The Walleye Angler Big Fish awards went to rookie pro Rick Bodeker, Cannon Falls, MN with a 9.84-pounder. He won $1,850. The second place award of $1,200 went to amateur Jamie Keckeisen, Milwaukee, WI for a 9.49-pounder. Winning $800 for his 9.39-pound walleye was amateur Marvin Yost, Warren, MI. Amateur Charlie Christoffersen won $695 for a 9.12 pound walleye. The largest daily catch of 33.17 pounds earned amateur Andrew Pukstys, Chicago, IL a Flambeau TS2000 tackle storage system. 

For the first part of the mourning we fished in about eight to ten feet of water pulling crawler harnesses with ¾ ounce in-line sinkers 25 to 30 feet back to Off Shore planer boards. We were hoping to get some four to five pound fish early so we could spend the rest of the day upgrading our limit. The bite was off and we left about 10:30 a.m. with 4 fish weighing close to a total of 9 pounds.  After about a 30 minute boat ride we started fishing the same program except we changed the In-line sinkers to 2 ounce sinkers, 45 to 65 feet back to the Off Shore planer boards.  The bite was slow and it took another couple of hours to finally get our limit.  We stayed there for the final 2.5 hours and upgraded our fish for just over 20 pounds for five fish.  Unfortunately, I made a mistake near the end of the day and lost a nice fish in the prop of the boat that cost us about 2 to 3 pounds.  Mr. Wallock was a real professional about it and explained what I should have done and left it at that.  The next day at the final day weigh-in that mistake probably cost Mr. Wallock some prize money since he finished only about 2 pounds out of it.  Mr. Wallock is an exceptional fisherman and I hope I can fish with him again without making any mistakes.

Big Fish Award Day 2

This is the first win for Gray who has amassed seven top 10 PWT finishes. In 1996, he was the runner-up PWT Angler of the Year. He has won many walleye titles and honors throughout his career. After five calm practice days and one and one-half days of flat tournament waters, a northeast wind built seas to three to five feet on the final day. Most anglers were trolling by Kelly’s Island and rode the swells back home. 

The second place pro, Tommy Skarlis, Waterloo, IA, had a total of 84.39 pounds for a $15,000 payday. Pro Ed Schoenecker, Slinger, WI was third with 82.58 pounds for $10,000. The winning amateur, after fishing with pros John Bergsma, Walker, MI, Rocco Papandrea, Elkhart, IN, and Joe Lundquist, Osseo, MN was Charlie Christofferson, Park Rapids, MN. He won $12,500. A total of $203,000 was paid out.
The winning tactics were silver and blue crankbaits with orange bellies trolled at 20 to 21 feet deep for Gray. Only two of his fish came on spinners, a popular Lake Erie walleye producer. Gray caught a tournament limit of five walleyes each day. 

This was the day Lake Erie gave us a little sample of what she can do.  The waves were a solid 4 to 5 feet with an occasional 7 to 9 footer.  I felt relieved to be in Mr. Hook's boat since he is out of Saginaw Bay Michigan and is used to big water.  We pulled crawler harnesses with in-line sinkers varying the depth by letting out anywhere from 45 to 85 feet of line back to Offshore planer boards. Our first fish was a nice 8.5 pounder.  The rest of the day was a struggle with the wind and the waves and we were lucky to get a limit. Of the three day tournament this was the day with the least amount of limits brought to the scales. I heard some contestants; both pros and ams were getting sick out there.  I probably would have gotten sick myself except for the fact that I was wearing seasick wristbands.  I highly recommend these to anyone venturing onto rough water.  By the end of the day Mr. Hook decided to go in a little early and give the fish, and us, an easier ride in to the Weigh-in.  We weighed in a five fish limit that came in at a little over 20 pounds.  That put my grand total to 72.32 pounds!  This weight placed me 11th overall in the tournament for $1000 worth of PWT merchandize. 

In closing I would just like to encourage any walleye fisherman to visit this great fishery either for recreation or in a tournament setting for an ultimate walleye fishing experience
