access to Lake Erie as the walleye capital of the world. You would be correct, just as the counter declarations of each of your fishing partners. Rather than debate the issue, I&#8217;ll lead us into the declaration of Dunkirk as a &#8220;must experience&#8221; port of launch and a favored choice to pursue a grand fishing experience on Lake Erie. As reported in recent years by myself and the legions of the outdoor media, 2022 walleye season on Lake Erie is consistent with all the observations and claims as a &#8220;Walleye Mecca&#8221; of prior years. Yes, folks, it&#8217;s that good!<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s VIP Fish Day, held annually every August, would great us with the mixed clouds, moderate temperatures, and the calmest waters I have ever experienced on the great lake. This year\u2019s event was coordinated by Jim and Diane Steel of the Innovative Outdoors team. A well-organized and super friendly event. Lots of familiar faces and many new ones. The event pairs Charter Captains with outdoor writers, local legislators, business leaders, and members of the NYSDEC Fisheries group. The group of outdoor writers present would hail from Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Rhode Island and New York.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/?p=2366&quot;}' id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2366 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/?attachment_id=2495'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?w=2400 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-attachment-id=\"2495\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/?attachment_id=2495\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 12 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1660116815&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00014499057561259&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_1014_100\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.turkey-talk.com\/tblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_1014_100-scaled.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Our trip out into the harbor was inspirational for all its beauty and the lake\u2019s calmness. We would be heading out to 60\u2032 \u2013 90\u2032 depths to troll for walleyes that had been, in recent days, hanging near the bottom. Just 30 minutes into setting up the lines, we were already into fish as we started our first trolling run. Although we ran a pattern of depths, those we had out deep with dipsy divers and worm spinner jigs made it happen. The fish-catching started off with Julie landing the first walleye. We both would catch our limit for the day and release others back to the lake. To this day, in my humble opinion, walleye is one of the best fish to eat and is a welcomed treat in our home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-2366-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.turkey-talk.com\\\/tblog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/09\\\/IMG_1016-scaled.jpg?fit=1920%2C2560\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2497&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1016&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.turkey-talk.com\\\/tblog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/09\\\/IMG_1015-1-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2473&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1015&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.turkey-talk.com\\\/tblog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/09\\\/IMG_1028.jpg?fit=679%2C1024\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2459&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1028&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.turkey-talk.com\\\/tblog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/09\\\/imagejpeg_0.jpg?fit=687%2C1024\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2458&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;imagejpeg_0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.turkey-talk.com\\\/tblog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/09\\\/IMG_1019.jpg?fit=1130%2C848\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2469&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1019&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.turkey-talk.com\\\/tblog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/09\\\/IMG_1017-scaled-e1663242881322.jpg?fit=1920%2C1350\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2490&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_1017&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p>The fishing was fantastic, and the conversation during our trip was even better! Julie comes into her new role as Region 9 Director with an impressive resume. She is as passionate about the resource as any of us. Julie is incredibly excited about the outlook for Lake Sturgeon, which is making significant progress in the North American conservation story. Having a Director that is hands-on and very comfortable with fishing tackle is a good thing for us sportsmen. As I have, you\u2019ll find her very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I would also learn that Hans is just as passionate about fishing for muskies and very involved as a board member of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.easternlakeeriecharters.com\/\">Eastern Lake Erie Charter Boat Association<\/a>. I can tell you Hans runs an efficient setup and is directly dialed in on walleyes. I can easily envision how he takes his \u2018A\u2019 game to muskies. I found Hans to be a great boat captain and super friendly. They are genuinely great people to enjoy time out on the water with. We would discuss many topics concerning the fisheries, future development, and the current issues with proposed windmills. In a few hours on a beautiful morning, all the essential goals of the VIP event were being met on a 21\u2032 boat. The future for Eastern Lake Erie has a bright future, in my view.<\/p>\n<p>The event concluded with a great lunch at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Northern-Chautauqua-Conservation-Club-Inc\/100063232328042\/\">Northern Chautauqua Conservation Club<\/a>. As in the past, we got updates on issues concerning the lake, the latest research, and the fishery outlook.<\/p>\n<div
