Smiles were easy to be found from a great day on Lake Erie at the 2018 Lake Erie Experience V.I.P. Fishing Day in Dunkirk! The tenth annual event brought together so many good folks from Chautauqua and Erie County Fishery Advisory Boards, Water Authorities, and their Tourism Bureaus, Elected officials and their staff, Eastern Lake Erie Charter Boat Association and the NYSDEC.<\/p>\n

The event was planned around a morning of fishing for walleyes and lake trout.  With such a great day on the water for all, in a greater purpose it is a recognition and celebration of the culmination of efforts and cooperation from so many partners to build and improve a world-class fishery on Lake Erie.  A major focus on the improving the water resources by applying sound scientific practices. Many efforts in managing for the natural resource, the fisheries, identifying and reducing pollution from uncontrolled runoffs and inadvertent discharges. Occurrences affect the ecological balance of the entire lake which continues on through Niagara Falls and onto Lake Ontario.<\/p>\n

It was a gathering of stakeholders and the very people that work tirelessly to improve the fisheries, the water quality of Lake Erie, smaller lakes and streams that flow into it, and those who do a phenomenal job in promoting tourism of a vibrant and viable fishery, world-class wineries, distillers, craft beer artisans, fantastic restaurants and eateries, local attractions and a hospitality second to none that is fitting for the great natural resources of the Empire State.<\/p>\n

As on my first day during the 2018 summer fish camp, I would be aboard the Dream Catcher with Captain Jim Steel and first mate Rich Fliss. Having an over the top phenomenal day with Jim and Rich the day prior I was more than eager to enjoy the second day on the lake with them. Jim and Rich run a methodical and precision approach to fishing the lake and it is impressive to see calm cool resolve in action. As the day before, it is also impressive in the sharing of information, the how and why of using what lures, what depths, what triggers consistent strikes even in the most gnarly weather conditions.<\/p>\n

An impromptu class held on the water and made to look easy from many years of experience. My only regret is that my wife was not there to enjoy it as I did. Big hint guys, the ladies can out fish the best of us, and you\u2019ll get to go far more often as a couple. A fantastic fishing charter in all respects and as professional and personable time on the water you\u2019ll ever come across.  https:\/\/dreamcatchersportfishing.com<\/a><\/p>\n
