    Fallen Hero’s Erie!? No talk??

    With the event a week and a half away, kinda surprised to see nothing here. Is it full and not advertising? Hoping to fish it if the weather is decent.

    I couldn’t post the pic.

    Info to is that it is April 28 going out of Mazuriks ramp. Normally out of West Harbor but there was a walleye event that scheduled on top of Fallen heroes out of west harbor.

    Its a great event that I have fished every year except last year. Typically a slug fest and with weather and wind forecast for next week leading up to it should be the same.

    Clapper ( big surprise) and Trombley won it with like 27 lbs. A few 21 to 23 lb bags also weighed in. I think they had 15 or so boats.

    26 boats and just over 26# to win. We had 21.68 n ended up 5th. Couldn’t get a big fish bite. Knew it would b tough for me being weather conditions changed from Thursday sunny n light wind to rain wind n no sun on Sat.

    Thursday I had a 6.3 n a 6.5 out of one area within 10 minutes. We caught plenty of fish Saturday but no giants.
