Ahoy my fellow captains,

NEWS FLASH … Our Assistant Editor, Susie McLaughlin has completed the revision of the LECBA website, and it is now live.

We’ve added links to past issues of The Hook and information about Fish Ohio Governor’s Day.

Well, my fellow Captains, we have made another full revolution around our sun. The days are getting longer and here we are already halfway through February.  

This is the first-year anniversary of The Hook. I hope you have enjoyed these quarterly newsletters and found interesting articles and facts about our Great Lake Erie.

Belated Happy Valentines to all my fellow Captains wherever you are. Hope you had a lovely day!

This winter season has seen many strange weather events. Hopefully everyone has stayed safe.

Launch dates are not to far away and many of you may already have those dates scheduled. It’s time for our boats to start coming out of their slumber and getting ready to meet those dates.

The 2024 Ohio Charter Captains Conference is coming up on March 2, 2024; don’t forget to register by February 28, 2024. See the Tory Gabriel’s article below.

As for me, I’m still kicking the big C’s A**. I’m halfway through my chemo treatments, and I’m holding my own pretty well. It picked the wrong Captain this time!

Can’t wait to see everyone on the water this spring.

Until then,

Tight lines and signing off,

Respectfully,

Captain Peg
