By Capt. Tom Marks

I ask myself that most serious of questions, one that originates from deep within, the very center of my being, from the pit of my gut, “WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING ON THE LAKE WITH WAVES THAT COULD KILL ME?” “WALLEYE!” I shout from the top of my lungs to be heard over the howl of the wind, raging against me, brought on by an angry God who must have damned me for pursuing his noble beast of a fish.Click here to see the entire article...

In Memory of One Worm George

By Capt. Tom Marks

 He was one of the most interesting people I have ever known and I am fortunate to have been his friend. I got to know George at the Southtowns Walleye meetings. I would also see him at Sturgeon Point parked in his car looking out over Lake Erie. One day I decided to stop by his car and strike up a conversation. George told me stories from his past and about the lake that day was the first of many over the years. I just wished I had recorded these conversations. George was in his eighties when I met him and he had a wealth of history to share. Please Click here to contine to read about George...
