OUTDOORS NOTEBOOK
Walleye Cup attracts anglers to Vermilion

Friday, September 30, 2005

The Grand National Walleye Cup will bring anglers from around the country to Vermilion for a three-day championship on Lake Erie that begins Thursday.

The third annual Huron Booster Club Walleye Tournament is Saturday in Huron.

Tournament officials for both events are keeping their fingers crossed. The annual Hawgfest Walleye Tournament in Huron last Saturday ran into big winds and rough water. The winning team of Brian Lam, Ray Urban and Dominic Ritz checked only two walleye weighing 8.5 pounds, which included the 7.1-pound big walleye of the event.

The Grand National Walleye Cup will send out 120 two-angler teams from 14 states. The winning team takes home a pair of fully rigged Skeeter boats, a top prize worth $70,000. The total purse is $150,000.

The weigh-ins are at 3 p.m. at the Red Clay on the River restaurant on the Vermilion River.

GNWC National Championship Oct 6-8 by Grand National Walleye Cup


By Steve Weisman
GNWC Publicity Director

Walleye anglers know that Lake Erie in October means trophy walleyes! For the Grand National Walleye Cup (GNWC) teams, Oct. 6-8, 2005 means the National Championship and a date with Lake Erie walleyes. Famous for big walleyes and lots of them, Lake Erie is a mecca for walleye anglers. And the waters just outside of Vermilion, Ohio are the place to be during October.

The 2005 GNWC National Championship presented by Skeeter Boats and Yamaha Outboards brings the top 120 walleye fishing teams from 14 states to the fertile big-walleye waters of Lake Erie.

On the line will be a first place prize of two fully rigged WX 1880 Skeeter boats rigged with Yamaha 4-stroke 150 hp outboards, Minnkota electric trolling motors and batteries, and Lowrance Electronics. With a retail value of $35,000 per rig, this brings the first place purse to $70,000. Additional cash and prizes bring the total to be awarded to more than $150,000.

In addition, a third fully rigged WX 1880 will be given away in a drawing at the National Championship. Each angler who qualified to fish the National Championship will have a chance to win this boat. It will be given away at the tournament in a random drawing, and all contestants that meet eligibility guidelines will have one chance to win. "It is exciting to be able to offer the GNWC teams three fully rigged WX 1880s at the National Championship. Our partnership with this premium boat manufacturer allows us to award an awesome prize to our 2005 National Champions," said GNWC Executive Director Bernie Barringer.

Barringer continued, "We are excited to bring the National Championship to Lake Erie. The folks in Vermilion are really looking forward to our championship teams coming to their town. This is a tremendous fishery, and I know that October and Lake Erie mean big, big walleyes!"

John Hammer, Chairman of the Vermilion Port Authority, shared his excitement about hosting the event. "As Chairman of the VPA and on behalf of the city of Vermilion, I would like to thank the GNWC for giving us the opportunity to host this event. I can assure you that our city will welcome your anglers with open arms. We believe that the city of Vermilion, is the 'Best Kept Secret' on the southern shores of Lake Erie. The waters of Lake Erie just outside of the Vermilion Harbor attract large schools of walleye during the month of October."

One thing is for certain. There are big 'eyes out there for the taking and a first place purse worth $70,000! As Barringer said, "The Vermilion area of Lake Erie is a great opportunity for anglers even in smaller boats to access this terrific fall fishery. Some locals tell me that it will take 40-plus pounds a day to win this event. And there is the distinct possibility that it will take a fish in the teens to win the overall big fish award. To have that kind of a big fish bite within reach of any angler is the reason we have accepted the invitation to hold the national championship at Vermilion, Ohio."

The first day's action begins on Thursday with the exciting weigh-in at 3 p.m. at Red Clay on the River.

The real fun begins at the weigh-ins as the teams begin to bring their baskets of fish to the scales. With two $35,000 top-of-the-line Skeeter boats on the line, there will be electricity in the air. Anyone interested in fishing is invited to come out and enjoy each afternoon's weigh-in.

Friday and Saturday will follow the same format as the opening day, but it will be Saturday's weigh-in that will determine the 2005 GNWC National Champions. "Saturday will be especially exciting," Barringer said. "At Saturday's weigh-in, the teams will share their secrets and tell the spectators the details of how and where the fish were caught."

Special awards will be given out at the Championships including up to $800 to the angler that catches the largest fish each of the three days. The Cabela's Big Fish Award of a $200 shopping spree will be awarded to the team that weighs the largest walleye during the three-day Championships.

Skeeter Boats is offering an additional $3000 above their GNWC winnings to any owner of a Skeeter boat who wins the National Championship while fishing in the Skeeter. In addition, the top-finishing Skeeter owner will receive $1000. This extra $1000 is above the $3000 for winning.

YoNet Folding Nets by AMFYOYO will offer the Yo So Close Award of an $80 folding net to the three teams finishing just out of the money.

TowTector, maker of the premium boat protector for towing vehicles, will offer the Towtector Comeback Award of two Towtector Shields valued at nearly $550 for the team advancing the most places from day one to day three.

The FoodSource Lure Company is sponsoring $200 in FoodSource Lures for the top placing family team.

Teams that do not catch fish will be put in a drawing for $200 in Mack's Lure products in the Mack's Lure Catch More Fish With Mack's Award.

-with 4 fairly big-buck entry tourneys in a row over 4 weeks in a area that has migratory Eyes for the heavyweights & a pounded on resident Eye population ... the timin' odds kinda dumped on the 1st two tourneys & we'll have to see what mother nature hands out on the last two!:)

That's one of the reasons I didn't retired along erie ~ when they are there it's all too easy & doesn't take much skill to fill the boat with a simple non-structure pull-bite setup for the foot-loose fancy-free migratory walley-hogs or your maybe shootin' blanks n' dink fishin' for the usually smaller pounded-on resident eye-pop when they aren't there ... then toss in playin' boat bouncin' games with fickle mother nature -heheh:)

Thanks ~ I'll just watch the erie tourney scene from the cheap-seats here at IL with a steady structure bite for those with skills :cool: :D

C-mon Ray its not THAT easy on the big pond, especially for us pitch-and-crankers. I do find as I get older that lake frustrates me more and more, waves get to me even when its calm, ten thousand friggin pleasure boaters runnin back and forth. Its tough getting your 7 year old son into fishing when he feels like pukin the entire time. I really miss fishing the Mattawa and Ottawa rivers, always calm.

National Championships-Day I Results

Seyka, Yarbrough Take First Step Toward GNWC Title

By Steve Weisman GNWC Publicity Director

Vermilion, OH - What's a broken bone if you can take the lead in a national walleye tournament?

That's the way Jeff Seyka from Milford, MI and his partner Greg Yarbrough from Port Clinton, MI felt after taking nearly a 15-pound lead on Day I of the 2005 Grand National Walleye Cup National Championship presented by Skeeter Boats and Yamaha Outboards held on Lake Erie at Vermilion, OH.

With a five-fish limit weight of 35.27 pounds, Seyka and Yarbrough held a comfortable lead over the team of Matt Davis from Marion, OH and Kelly Buchenroth from Kenton, OH, who had a five-fish limit weight of 20.65 pounds.

It was the broken bone and gash in the leg that Seyka incurred during the long, rough ride out to their fishing spot. "I'd break the other one," Seyka said with a grin, "if we could bring another 35 pounds in tomorrow. Actually, with this weight, I don't feel any pain right now!"

Day I was a day of decisions for the 108 teams fishing the 2005 GNWC National Championship presented by Skeeter Boats and Yamaha Outboards. Take a chance and run, run, run...as far as 60 miles to the big fish, or stay closer, catch a limit of fish and hope and pray for one kicker. However, they were tought to come by.

For Seyka and Yarbrough, the long run was profitable, and then late in the day, they found a pod of big fish and popped their 9.42 pounder.

Their 9.42 pounder was the Big Fish on Day I.

Davis and Buchenroth made the run and as Buchenroth said on stage, "It's a long ways, but we'll be there tomorrow!" Their key at making a run at the top will be whether they can string together a basket of big fish.


The third place team of Alan Szoke from Grosse Ile, MI and John Szoke from Bloomfield Hills, MI also broke the 20-pound barrier with a five-fish weight of 20.44 pounds.

Why all the excitement? On the line is a first place prize of two fully rigged WX 1880 Skeeter boats rigged with Yamaha 4-stroke 150 hp outboards, Minnkota electric trolling motors and batteries, and Lowrance Electronics. With a retail value of $35,000 per rig, this brings the first place purse to $70,000. Additional cash and prizes bring the total to be awarded to more than $150,000.

Storm clouds are on the horizon, however, as an expected cold front and strong winds are forecast to move in late this evening. What will tomorrow bring?

"If there is any way we can do it, we will fish tomorrow," said GNWC executive director Bernie Barringer. "I know how badly these teams want to fish!" Barringer continued, "It was a tough day for a lot of the teams. Team after team talked about having to keep moving because the fish seem to be constantly on the move. It's not about catching a limit of fish; it's about getting the big 'eyes to go."

A total of 46 teams weighed five-fish limits, but the big fish are still a log ways away from Vermilion. The question the teams are pondering as they prepare for Friday's competition is this: to run and gun in the wind or stay close and hope for luck and a big fish.
"With two days still to go, there are so many things that can happen," added Barringer. "We had a good crowd at the weigh-in today, and I know the teams appreciate all that the community of Vermilion has done for them."

Special awards will be given out on the last day of the Championships, including the optional Big Fish Pot to the angler that catches the largest fish each of the three days and The Cabela's Big Fish Award of a $200 shopping spree for the team that weighs the largest walleye each day.

Skeeter Boats is offering an additional $3000 above their GNWC winnings to any owner of a Skeeter boat who wins the National Championship while fishing in the Skeeter. In addition, the top-finishing Skeeter owner will receive $1000. This extra $1000 is above the $3000 for winning.

YoNet Folding Nets by AMFYOYO will offer the Yo So Close Award of an $80 folding net to the three teams finishing just out of the money.

TowTector, maker of the premium boat protector for towing vehicles, will offer the Towtector Comeback Award of two Towtector Shields valued at nearly $550 for the team advancing the most places from day one to day three.

The FoodSource Lure Company is sponsoring $200 in FoodSource Lures for the top placing family team.

Clark Collects $35,000 Door Prize at GNWC Championship Banquet

By Steve Weisman GNWC Publicity Director

"And the winning number is 8813...," announced Grand National Walleye Cup Executive Director Bernie Barringer, and the drama increased as he then paused with two numbers left to read. On the line was the first place door prize of a $35,000 WX 1880 fully rigged Skeeter Boat given away at Wednesday evening's awards banquet for the GNWC's National Championship. With two numbers left, there were 10 people still standing and in the running to take the $35,000 rig home with them. "...19," said Barringer. "That's 881319," and Rodger Clark from Albert Lea, MN lifted a clenched fish in celebration! "I'm just shaking! I can't believe it," said Clark as he shook hands with Steve Soukup, regional sales director for Skeeter Boats. As the excitement died down and Clark signed the papers, he looked up across the room and said again, "I'm just shaking. We want you to know," he said to Soukup, "how much the teams on the GNWC appreciate what Skeeter Boats has done for us!" What a prize, and what a way to kick off the 2005 GNWC National Championships presented by Skeeter Boats and Yamaha Outboards: a WX 1880, fully rigged with a Yamaha 4-stroke 150 hp outboard, Minnkota electric trolling motor and batteries, and Lowrance Electronics. Barringer added, "The look on Rodger's face as he came up to take possession says it all. Skeeter Boats has made a commitment to the anglers who fish the GNWC. They are designing some of the best walleye fishing boats on the market today. What's even more exciting is that the team who wins the 2005 National Championships will walk away with two more fully rigged WX 1880s!" Weighin-in for the first day of the National Championship begins on Thursday, October 6 (today) at 3 p. m. at Red Clay on the River.

Yarbrough, Seyka Take GNWC Title

By Steve Weisman
GNWC Publicity Director

Vermilion, OH - With a small craft advisory in effect for both Friday and Saturday, the three-day Grand National Walleye Cup (GNWC) National Championship became a single day high stakes shootout based on Thursday's Day I weigh-in.
The 2005 GNWC National Championship presented by Skeeter Boats and Yamaha Outboards brought the top 108 walleye fishing teams from 14 states to the fertile big-walleye waters of Lake Erie on the outskirts of Vermilion, OH.
Based on Thursday's weights, the team of Greg Yarbrough from Port Clinton, OH and Jeff Seyka from Milford, MI weighed a five-fish limit weight of 35.27 pounds and captured the first place prize of two WX 1880 Skeeter boats rigged with Yamaha 4-stroke 150 hp outboards, Minnkota electric trolling motors and batteries, and Lowrance Electronics.
With a retail value of $35,000 per rig, this brings the first place purse for Yarbrough and Seyka to $70,000.
"Mother Nature just didn't cooperate with us," said GNWC executive director Bernie Barringer. "Even though it became a single day shootout, it still gave us an opportunity to showcase the top teams on the GNWC."
Barringer added, "Lake Erie is an incredible fishery. It's just that the water temperature is still in the upper 60s, and the big fish are a long ways away from Vermilion. Regardless, the community of Vermilion really rolled out the red carpet for us, from the tremendous banquet meal to the great volunteer help at the take-offs and weigh-in. Their hospitality was second to none."
Second place and a check for $10,000 went to the team of Matt Davis from Marion, OH and Kelly Buchenroth from Kenton, OH with a five-fish weight of 20.65.
The third place team of Alan Szoke from Grosse Ile, MI and John Szoke from Bloomfield Hills, MI also broke the 20-pound barrier with a five-fish weight of 20.44 pounds. They pocketed $6,000 for their efforts.
The fourth place team of Michale Gengalo, Jr., from Wausau, WI and Michael Gengalo, Sr., won $4,000 for their five-fish weight of 18.62 pounds.
A total of 27 teams received checks.
Day I was a day of decisions for the 108 teams: take a chance and run, run, run...as far as 60 miles to the big fish, or stay closer, catch a limit of fish and hope and pray for one kicker fish. However, those who fished close found the big kicker fish tough to come by.
For Yarbrough and Seyka, their run north to the Canadian border was profitable, especially when late in the day, they found a pod of big fish and popped their 9.42 pounder.
Key to their success was finding active suspended walleyes in 26-28 feet of water. They found the fish suspended as high as eight feet from the surface. Their pre-fishing strategy of popping a couple of fish and then leaving them alone paid big dividends. "The Lowrance 104-C was very important, because we could run at 25 mph as we searched for fish. It helped us cover a lot of water," said Yarbrough.
Seyka added, "We had great help when we broke down during pre-fishing from both Lowrance and Johnson Moore. We really appreciated their help!"
The winners used in-line weights, pulling Northland holographic spinners and Walleye Unlimited spinner blades tipped with nightcrawlers.
Davis and Buchenroth also ran north and pulled gold spinners and harness rigs tipped with nightcrawlers. They, too, targeted the active, suspended fish. Davis said, "It's too bad we only got to fish one day. Teams fishing Erie for the first time did not get a true picture of how good fishing can be for big walleyes."
According to Buchenroth, "These fish are moving constantly, so we moved all day and found most of our fish suspended 20-30 feet down."
The third place team ran 26 miles northeast. "We had fish going 62 miles away in 65 feet of water, but we were afraid that we couldn't make the run, so we looked for 65 feet of water closer to town," said Alan Szoke. "We pulled one-ounce inline sinkers, crawler harnesses and gold spinners."
Ironically enough, the fourth place team fished the entire day within sight of the break wall. According to Michael, Sr., "We found a point with an inside turn. The walleyes were suspended out off the end of the point."
For them, key lures were spoons and crankbaits. "By then end of the day we had switched to using only clown colored Reef Runners," said Michael, Jr.
Special awards were given out at the Championships including the Cabela's Big Fish Award of a $200 shopping spree and $687 in cash for the three big fish of the tournament. They include the team of Greg Yarbrough and Jeff Seyka with their 9.42-pound walleye; Robert Blosser and Gary Tomlinson from Poynette, WI with their 8.40-pound walleye; and Alan Szoke and John Szoke with their 7.84-pound walleye.
The Skeeter Boats award of an extra $1,000 for the top-finishing Skeeter owner went Robert Blosser, who with his teammate Gary Tomlinson finished in seventh place.
YoNet Folding Nets by AMFYOYO offered the Yo So Close Award of an $80 folding net to the three teams finishing just out of the money. They include Mark Hull from Youngstown, OH and Steve Bartolone from Westerville, OH in 28th place; Frank Wood from Mason City, IA and Lance Thoe from Clear Lake, IA in 29th place; and Brad Berens and Dave Andera from Sioux Falls, SD in 30th place.
TowTector, maker of the premium boat protector on the market for towing vehicles, awarded two Towtector Shields to Mike Latimer from Westmont, IL and Hal Cary from Montgomery, IL.
The FoodSource Lure Company of $200 in FoodSource Lures went to the team of Alan and John Szoke as the top placing family team.
Teams that did not catch fish had names put in a drawing for $200 in Mack's Lure products. The winner of the Mack's Lure Catch More Fish With Mack's Award was the team of Brian Murray from Farmington, PA and Troy Bungard from Millsboro, PA.

A pair of Skeeters sounds like a good paycheck for a day of
fishin on Erie.:)

"We found a point with an inside turn. The walleyes were suspended out off the end of the point."

If you can find this spot, you can catch walleye and smallies
at the same time, they both eat big 5" green twister tails there in the spring!;)

By Fred Snyder, Ohio Sea Grant Extension (63.238.18.169 - 63.238.18.169) on Friday, September 30, 2005 - 11:19 am:

Dr. Stu Ludsin of NOAA has reported that the thermocline in Lake Erie's central basin has broken up and the basin has gone through fall turnover.

Observers from Cleveland to Pennsylvania have reported a noxious smell to the water; this is caused by anaerobic conditions under the thermocline which generated hydrogen sulfide gas. As the water mass turns over, this gas is brought to the surface. Windy days will mix the water, allowing the hydrogen sulfide to escape into the air, and will carry oxygen to the bottom to "sweeten" the deep water environment.

The Central Basin's bottom already has gone from zero oxygen to 10 percent oxygen saturation; the oxygen level should increase rapidly as mixing continues. Likewise, the bottom temperature has already increased from 50 degrees to 61 degrees F.

The part of the lake I fish smelled pretty bad for the last couple months.....nothing a little ICE won't take care of!:D
Then again, maybe it was all those green fish I caught that made that bad smell:confused: :D
That little spot the 4th place team found is awesome, it's kinda of a community hole, but always seems to hold some fish!
