A big thanks to all that fished with us this season and we wish you all calm seas and an excellent 2010.
A little recap of 2009
Finished fishing out of Cleveland December 5th.
It was a good year but a strange one, with the different lake activity and the fish movements this season.
I did 5-6-8 hour trips and walk-ons for short crews which worked out well.
See the Erie or Specials pages.
I will start as soon as ice off in Vermilion again for 2010.
Lil Linda Mae 2009 recap
Owning your own boat can be a rewarding experience; you are the Captain
and have the option of fishing when and where you want or simply going for
a leisurely cruise with the family. Yet, for many people, owning a boat is
not an option for a variety of reasons. And trying to justify owning a boat
with the dollar value of the fish you expect to catch in a season is a lesson
in bad economics.
Sea Grant conducted a survey of the charter fishing
industry and found that the average charter operator had to make more
than 45 trips per year just to break even.
Since the costs of boat ownership
are similar for a private individual owning a 25-foot vessel, you would need
to make at least 45 trips to financially justify owning a boat rather than
chartering! Consider your cost of ten six-passenger salmon charters on Lake
Michigan to be divided among you and five friends. Your share of these ten
charters wouldn't come close to the cost of docking a 25-foot boat at a
Great Lake marina for one season. Not to mention the value of experience
gained by fishing with a knowledgeable professional charter captain or guide.
These Captains fish the lake daily and have the added advantage of
locating and staying on top of fish.... ensuring you a successful charter
fishing experience!
Fishers of Men is prepared for the 2010 fishing season.
Our vessel is a 30 foot Mako with twin 200 horsepower Mariner engines, with all
the latest safety equipment and electronics.
We provide all bait, rods, and reels.
Lake Erie is our main concentration through the season for Walleye, Steelhead, and Jumbo Perch.
We offer guidance for technique and the use of equipment such as Downriggers, Outriggers, Planer boards, Dipsy divers and Flat lines. We are very mobile and will also fish local lakes of your preference. We go where the fish ARE and WHEN they are in season.
Our old port was Stuart Florida and have moved to Lake Erie.
If you are considering a fishing trip on Lake Erie then you should consider fishing with the Fishers of Men Team's home port Cleveland, Ohio. (Seasonal)
