Walleye Queen Sportfishing, Ohio.  Trip winners story: Jay Hess
Dear Jim, Dan and US Outdoorsman Central members,

In May of 2009, I received a call from the NYOC telling me I had been
drawn as the winner of an eight hour walleye charter on the
beautiful Lake Erie.  Due to scheduling conflicts, the trip was
postponed until the 2010 season.
After numerous conversations with Captain William Nowak of the
Walleye Queen, we settled on the date of May 24th for the
excursion. We arrived on May 23rd to our hotel The Lake Erie
Lodge, the rooms and accommodations were more than applicable
for our one night stay along with reasonable prices. The hotel was
less than a mile from the marina where the boat was docked and
fishing licenses were available for purchase next door to the hotel.
Shortly after our arrival and check in we had been referred to the
Oregon Inn for dinner. The atmosphere, food, and service was
excellent. The restaurant was within 10 minutes of the hotel and
the prices were affordable.
After a quick breakfast my Father(Jerry Hess), Brother(Troy Hess),
Nephew(William Scalisi), and Myself(Jay Hess) all met Captain Bill
at the docks for our 7 o'clock departure. After boarding the boat we
traveled roughly a half an hour to our fishing destination. When we
arrived to the spot in which we were to fish Captain Bill decided it
would be best to troll using plaining boards. Captain Bill was right
on the money with his location and decision to troll. We fished in
about 20 ft of water at 2 mph using spoons as a lure. Not long after
we started our troll the action became fast and furious, at one point
we had five rods tripped all at once. We didn’t have time to secure
the fish we just unhooked them let them drop to the floor and
grabbed another rod! We had our limit by 12:30 and we headed
back to the marina. They had a fish cleaning service just outside of
the marina and the Captain was nice enough to drop our catch off
for us. When we left for our trip home we made the quick stop in to
the cleaning station to grab our fillets and we were on our way.
Captain Bill was very professional and he had plenty of room upon
his boat for the four of us. The trip was more fun then we could
have hoped alone with a complete success. We would recommend
his services to anyone. If anyone is looking for an outstanding
experience that you are sure to remember then Captain Bill Nowak
and the Walleye Queen is for you.
Thanks to all,
Jay Hess
