The Big O.

[W.W.IV.]

Hi,I'm Mike and I'm a fish-a haulic. Do rehab. on I Bay during the week. Started fishing the Big O back in the 60's. Had hand cranks on the boat before most fishermen know what they were. Wish there was a how to site to go to back then. Had a bait and tackle shop in the 70's That took up to much of my fishing time. Got a charter Licence in 85. Chartered out of Sodus Bay, Oak Park Marina, 28ft. Baha sport fisher the White whale. Got out when fishing went bad in the 90's. Retired half-fast machinest,line setup man,babysitter at Carrier Corp. after 41years. Got the 16'Lund upto the Oak last year, two wire dipses and a little info. from LOU and At The Oak, I had a ball. Forgot what it was like to fish kings from a 16ft. boat.The newbies got it made,halfhour on the computer and you can catch salmon.
