Fishing with Levi and Michael...7/5/2025
by Capt Juls on 07/05/25I arrived at Huron at 4:30. I would be meeting my crew at 5AM. When I got there, and needed to use the bathroom, the bathrooms were shut. A sign said, "Closed for the Season". Wait...WHAT? lol Ugh...
Fishing with the Minges Family....7/3/2025
by Capt Juls on 07/03/25I was originally going to launch at Huron, this morning, but yesterday afternoon, I noticed that today's wind direction would be out of the west-northwest at 5-10mph with gusts up to 17, so I thought it would be a good idea to launch out of Mazurik's instead.
Fishing with the Vallery Family...6/30/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/30/25Here it is, the end of June already... my favorite month...deep sigh.
Fishing with Gary Pennington and Jeremy...6/29/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/29/25I was meeting my crew at Huron, this morning, so I left the house at 4AM, hit the gas station for ice, and hit the highway. The roads were empty, and it was dark out, so I took my time and did 60mph in a 70....figured I might as well save a little gas, since I was so early, and I wouldn't slow anyone else down.
Anyway....if you want to get out fishing...contact me. I'd love to take you fishing. :)
Fishing with Marty and Zane...6/26/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/26/25I left the house at 4AM, because I was meeting my crew at the Huron ramp at 5AM, and I wanted some extra time there, so I could shine up the motors and clean the windshield, before they showed up. I hit the speedway in town, to get ice, and headed to Huron.
Fishing with Pete and Chuck...6/25/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/25/25My Indiana crew was staying at Little Ted's Cottages, out in Marblehead, so I swung in there at 4:15, and once again...they were already up and waiting for me, even though I told them 4:30. :)
Fishing with Steve and Mary...6/24/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/24/25Steve and Mary drove up from Springfield yesterday, and stayed at the Fairfield Inn. Luckily, the FI has a nice big parking lot that is easy to maneuver a boat in tow, so I was able to pick them up from there. When I pulled in at 4:15, they had just gotten back from the gas station, where they bought ice for their cooler. I wasn't supposed to be there until 4:30, but I always like to be early, so I can get a few minutes scrolling social media.
Fishing Day Two with Curt and Cheryl...6/23/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/23/25My Wisco crew was up and ready to go at 4:30, when I pulled into the White Caps Motel, to pick them up. We hit the gas station for some ice, and headed to Huron to launch. I found out, that the work at the Huron parking lot was finished, so instead of hitting Vermilion, we would save some time and gas by launching at Huron instead.
Fishing Day One of Two with Curt and Cheryl...6/22/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/22/25At 2AM this morning, the wind was pretty blustery out on my back deck. I checked iWindSurf, and it showed a forecast of 10-20mph SW for the early morning, with it diminishing a little as the morning went on.
Fishing with the Chapmans...6/20/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/21/25For anyone that has been following my reports for the past 14 years, you know the name Chapman. Steve was my very first customer, way back when, and Jeremy started coming along later that same year.
Fishing with Bill, Pete, and Marv...6/17/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/17/25Picked my crew up from the White Caps Motel at 5AM. Bill, Pete, and Marv drove in from Iowa last night, and were a little tired, but awake and ready to go.
Fishing Day 3 with Marion and Ruth Baker...6/12/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/12/25The original plan was to go to Huron again, so my crew was instructed for a 4:45 pick up, but I had changed my mind this morning, and wanted to launch at Mazurik's instead. I didn't want to deal with the traffic if the re-paving wasn't done yet, and they still had the accesses blocked.
Fishing Day 2 with Marion and Ruth Baker...6/11/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/11/25I picked Marion and Ruth up 15 minutes earlier than yesterday. After picking up some ice for the coolers, we were headed to Huron a little before 5am. The parking lot at Huron was empty, except for one rig that was backing down the ramp, as we drove in.
Fishing with Marion and Ruth Baker...6/10/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/10/25Marion and Ruth had a trip scheduled last season, but due to major flooding in western Iowa, they had to cancel. I moved their deposit to this season for them, and we were able to make it out this morning. They have a three-day trip planned, and it looks like we'll get all three days in! Yay!

Fishing with the Hubbard Family...6/6/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/06/25I was up earlier than usual, so I left the house a 1/2 hour earlier, and headed to the gas station at 4 AM. Bought my ice, and skipped the smokes, because they went up again. I'm going to have to be done with them now...it's ridiculous to pay so much just to take years off of my life. Thanks, you greedy bastards, for making me quit!
Fishing with David, Fred, and Craig...6/1/2025
by Capt Juls on 06/02/25My crew today, are friends with the Jay Prater group, from last week, and were supposed to go tomorrow, but the wind forecast for today was more favorable, and they were able to move it, so it all worked out.
Fishing with Danny and Charlie...5/29/2025
by Capt Juls on 05/29/25This morning, I had two brothers from southern Ohio, who are in their 70s. I was supposed to have them out yesterday, but when given the opportunity, they opted for today's west wind, over yesterday's east wind. It was a good decision.
