Captain Juls Fishing Report

What Line Should I Use?

Most, if not all, people who troll for walleye use a book that we refer to as The Trollers Bible. No, its not a religious document, but it can give you that feeling of angels singing when the information held within its pages is utilized and youre rewarded with a nice plump walleye tugging on the end of your line. The book Im referring to is called The Precision Trolling Book by authors Mark Romanack, Dr. Steven Holt and Tom Irwin. Back in 1990 these three gentlemen got together and created depth charts for just about every crankbait on the market today, using scuba diving tactics to gather the information. A depth chart tells you how much line you need out to get your lure to a specific depth and at what speed to achieve it. The depth charts were created using a 10 pound monofilament line with a line diameter of .0134. I like to use a 14 pound test mono that has the same line diameter, but a stronger tensile strength. Due to my aversion of doing math in my head, this allows me to use the same charts without having to use the line conversions in the book. A monofilament line will stretch while a braided line will never stretch. So, whats the purpose of using a braided line over a mono line? The braided lines are much more abrasion resistant, stronger and have a smaller line diameter for the same pound test as a mono line. The smaller diameter will cut through the water easier, create less bow in the line and make your lure swim deeper with the same amount of line out as its mono counterpart. As important as a well set drag is on a reel filled with mono line, its even more important when using a braided line. If a fish is fighting, and your drag is not set loose enough, it will rip the hook right out of its mouth with the braided line. Mono is a little more forgiving in that it will stretch and give you a chance to adjust your drag properly for the size of fish you are fighting before the fish can get away. So, the most important lesson today is, utilize the depth charts, know where your lures are and always check your drags before you need them. Captain Juls can be contacted by email at rngrgal@ gmail.com, or by phone at 419-835-7347. Her website address is www.julswalleyefishingadventures.com At Left: Evan with a 29 inch walleye.

Ragbag Report

McRitchies win Green Jacket

What a weekend it was for the sailing community of Western Lake Erie. First came the arrival of the Tall Ships in Port Clinton, Catawba Island and the Lake Erie Islands. On Saturday, the sailboats from Toledo to Sandusky to Vermilion arrived at Port Clinton Yacht Club after their respective feeder races from North Cape Yacht Club and Sandusky. Congratulations to all of the winners, especially to 87 year old Jim Johns, (my hero), who won the Tartan 10 Class in the Funday Race from Sandusky. And to John Greiner, my old friend and former sail maker from Toledo who won the race coming from North Cape. He too is an octogenarian. Then came the sailboat racing highlight of the weekendthe Green Island Race. The theme this year, in an attempt to tie in with the Bi-Centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie was Dont Give Up the Start!!! The highlight came early as the Tall Ship PATHFINDER led the fleet out of the Portage River and out to the start/finish line. That was a spectacular feeling to be part of the procession. I can tell you from personal experience that it was a battle all the way around the race course. Light winds held the racers up most of the way from Port Clinton to Green Island. It took an intense amount of concentration and focus to keep your boat moving forward in the light air. The winds picked up a bit as the fleet rounded Green Island and headed for D Can, one of the Camp Perry Firing Range markers. The winds made a turn also, and a couple of tacks were required to make it to the mark. The winds backed again as the fleet headed back toward Port Clinton which made another upwind duel necessary. The winds were very shifty from the southeast to the southwest all afternoon. It was a struggle to stay in phase with the oscillating breezes. One boat didnt seem to have a problem with the shifty and light winds at all. That was JEB, the boat of Thomas and Park McRitchie, who finished the race going fast. The course set up perfectly for the Beneteau 40.7, who performs best upwind and downwind. It certainly did that day, giving the JEB crew 1st in PHRF Class A, 1st in PHRF overall and 1st in the competition among the PCYC boats to win the Green Island Trophy. For finishing 1st for PHRF overall, McRitchie was awarded the traditional Green Fleece Pullover. I would like to congratulate my crew aboard SCOOP for their efforts to finish 2nd in PHRF C class. Much thanks to John Folger, John McIntosh, Halle Minshall, Tim Willford and Bob Mulholland. Next up for the western Lake Erie racers is the annual George OConnell Fall Bay event on the weekend of September 21 and 22. Sailors who participate are invited to leave their boats at Port Clinton Yacht Club for the week following Fall Bay so that they can be there for PCYCs oldest sailing event, the Snow Flurries Regatta on September 28 and 29.

Navy Band played everywhere Labor Day weekend

On Saturday night, the Navy Band Great Lakes played at Waterworks Park. The performance started with the firing of cannons on the lake shore and was filled with patriotic marches and tributes to fallen soldiers. Director Lieutenant Patrick Kevin Sweeten was presented with a commemorative bicentennial pin at the concert. The Navy Band Great Lakes played on Put-in-Bay on Friday, then two performances Sunday Sep. 1. At 2 p.m. the Hoover Auditorium in Lakeside hosted the Navy Band Great Lakes wind ensemble. At 7 p.m. the Navy Band Great Lakes Showband performed at the Marblehead Lighthouse. Director Sweeten said that the Navy Band is in a competition with the Army Band to have more likes on Facebook. To help the Navy Band win or to get more information on the Navy Band Great Lakes visit http://www.netc. navy.mil/nstc/navyband/.

Singing and acting class coming to Port Clinton

Jill Wheeler has been teaching singing and acting classes in Norwalk for 13 years, and has many students that travel from Port Clinton to take classes. They have been asking her to bring the classes to Port Clinton. Beginning Sept.12, Wheeler will be offering classes at Erie Shores Assembly of God in Port Clinton. The students work to learn a full two hour musical. There are only 14 students in each class and all 14 students will be on stage the entire two hours and will have their own talking and singing solos. They will present their musical in December for the community of Port Clinton. The cost for the class is four payments of $45, and covers the cost of all costumes, props, music, CDs, and all other things associated with the production. Incorporated into the classes are motivational sayings and an uplifting atmosphere. I believe that children need to feel confident about getting up in front of others and speaking. This class is perfect for that! It builds confidence and a re-assurance that messing up is ok. You just need to give the best you can give.... and THAT is greatness! says Wheeler. To register or for more information call 419-541-1713. At Right: Cast of Oliver
