We would typically splash our boat during the 1st week of May and pull it

Fishing rarely involved trolling.....mainly drifting or at anchor. The
majority of the boat use was to cruise to beaches for swimming while at
anchor and to other ports on Lake Erie including Leamington, Canada and the
Islands. We would also head up to Metro Beach on Lake St. Clair once/year.

How about you?


I'm averaging about 80 hours per year, almost all of which is fishing. Maybe the
wife and I will go playing four or five times a year, but then the boat usually
gets only a few hours. Most of the 'time' on the engine is spent trolling which
sometimes adds six or so hours a trip.
