CLAIR WALLEYE ASSOCIATION WALLEYE WORLD dedicated to the preservation of michigan’s walleye fishery July, 1976) DEDICATED TO THE PRESERVATION OF MICHIGAN’S WALLEYE(Since FISHERY February 2012 http://www.lakestclairwalleyeassociation.com Mark Martin By Scott Hunt All of us at the Lake Saint Clair Walleye Association are thrilled to announce that our February guest speaker is none other than Michigan’s own Mark Martin. Mark is arguably the most successful and most renowned professional Walleye fisherman from the entire state of Michigan. Mark is going to conduct a seminar that should last approximately one hour. His seminar is going to be on trolling Lake Saint Clair. Specifically, he is going to touch on the effectiveness of trolling body baits on Lake St. Clair. And even more specifically than that, he is going to spend a considerable amount of time speaking about the fishing success that can be had while trolling body baits on Lake Saint Clair at night time. Here in our great state of Michigan many regard Mark Martin as Mr. Walleye at night. He has earned this nickname by averaging more than 600 Walleye per year in the 6 to 12 pound range. The key to Marks success is a history of walleye fishing developed over three generations of Martins. He intends to share some of his expertise and nighttime tactics to all of those in attendance. Some of Mark Martins career achievements include the following: -Qualified for 18 Professional Walleye Trail Championships -World Champion of the first PWT championship held in 1990. -Currently 43 top 10 finishes in AIM, PWT, MWC, tournaments and Governor Cups. -Over 24 years of professional tournament fishing. -The most PWT championships since its inception in 1990 -Has fished in over 200 major tournaments. -Currently is the 8th highest money earner among those fishing the professional Walleye circuit. These are just a few of the seemingly never-ending list of career highlights owned by Mark Martin. Quite frankly, there are just simply too many to list them all. Mark Martin has also accumulated a rather fine list of extraordinary sponsors. Some of these sponsors are illustrious companies such as Navionics, Church Tackle, Abu Garcia, Berkley, Plano, Fenwick, Northland, Daiichi, Motorguide, Lowrance, Rapala, Lund, Mercury and Optima just to name a few. By now, you get the idea. This is an excellent guest speaker. Not the type that everyone can sit and listen to on just any ole day of the week. This is going to be a special meeting, so please do not miss it. And take this advice; if you want to make sure you get a seat, make sure you get there early. There is a good chance that this will probably be a standing room only type of crowd. Our meetings get called to order at 7:30 so don’t be late. I cannot wait to see you all there! LAKE ST.

Box 130 St. Clair Shores, MI 48080 Everyone Welcome Event Chairperson: for more information call Dave Champine at 586-601-6457 Be there for an evening of fun lscwa.net PRESIDENTS CORNER by Dave Marcelewski This month, I was thinking about what subject to write my article about. It took a little bit of thinking. But finally I made up my mind. I would like to challenge every member in our club, to make it a point to fish at least one of our monthly derbies. Win or lose? Who cares! It really doesn’t matter. I fish these derbies mostly just to put fish in my freezer. And talking fishing with the other club members is always welcomed. When I fish a derby, I come home very relaxed and the bonus is fish in my freezer. It is one of the most pleasant ways to spend a weekend. And then there is the weigh in. Again, win or lose? Who cares? But it is nice to win once in a while. If you are lucky enough to catch a fish, than bring it to the weigh in. If you do not catch any fish but still show up at the weigh in, then the real fun starts. All you have to do is show up. We always have food. Maybe pizza? Or hot dogs and freedom fries? Or broasted chicken? It is always a welcomed surprise. And then there is the comradery of being around people that share the same interests. You will definitely walk away with the freshest fishing reports around. Maybe find out about a new technique? A new fishing lure? Who knows? The opportunities are endless. We have five monthly derbies starting out in April and ending at the August picnic. Please put these events on your calendar and make it a point to fish them. Or just show up to chit-chat a little bit about fishing. That is always welcomed. This past weekend I figured that I would have the lake to myself for a change. And what to my eyes do I catch with my gaze, a small little flat bottom with trollers plugging away. When I saw them flip a fish I knew right away these two bundled anglers were Masters at play. They plucked the fish so fast and with ease, I knew that my company must be on the fishy’s. This is the spot that they dredged for their gold. They worked so adeptly that they did not look too cold. Once they bagged their limit they packed up in a flash, started the primary and were off with a dash. The little flat bottom and anglers swept away, with wishes of “good luck” to me in my sleigh. It is visions like this that make winter so sweet, to know that the spring will soon be at our feet. So Fish away, fish away, fish away all. And thank goodness for this January thaw! YEARS PAST- 1981-1985 By Dave Wilemski In June of 1982 our club collected back issues of the outdoor magazines that members brought to the meetings and distributed them to local area hospital waiting rooms. Homer “Mr. Muskie” LeBlanca was our guest speaker at the March 1985 General Membership meeting. On 5-5-1985, young Brian Lamphier caught a 15” walleye with a red crawler harness while fishing on Lake St. Clair. February Merchandise RAFFLE By Richard and Marialaina Benson Professional walleye angler Mark Martin is going to be our guest this month and we’re featuring some of the tools he has used to make his career so successful. We will have some Church planer boards, lures he recommends and what would a fishing raffle be without at least 1 or 2 rod and reel combos? A few other boating items will also be on hand as we gear up for spring from our winter (or non-winter) of discontent! My wife, Marialanina, and I would like to thank everyone for their continued support at the merchandise raffle table. We’d love to hear your suggestions or comments. If there is an addition item, fishing or not necessarily fishing related, you think club members would desire to see on the table, please feel free to let us know. Thank you, Rich and Marialaina This photo was taken Sunday morning January 8. We ended our morning with 7 nice eater walleye. Six males and 1 nice 23” female. The two photographed had a nice mess of fish with one going over 8#. Think spring!

Denny gave an informative and educational seminar in which he spoke for about an hour, and the audience of over 200 members and guests gave Denny their undivided attention. His seminar covered ice fishing on Lake Saint Clair and Lake Simcoe. Denny was extremely thorough and touched on every aspect of ice fishing from first ice until last ice. He spoke about all of the equipment and tackle he uses, as well as the importance of attention to detail. Afterwards, Denny hung around for a little while and answered questions from the inquisitive members off to the side of the meeting hall. Denny stayed until it was very late in the evening, and took the time to answer each and every question in a very professional manner. I can honestly say that it was my pleasure to work with Denny and schedule him as our guest speaker. And I hope that I am given the opportunity to work with him again one day. I would be honored to see him as our guest speaker again in the future. In short, the January meeting was an outstanding meeting. And Mr. Lantzy played a huge part in making that possible. So on behalf of the Lake St. Clair Walleye Association, I would like to say Thank you Denny Lantzy. 2012 MERCURY MOTOR RAFFLE By Ron Sharp Thanks to the Fishing Show we are off to a great start selling tickets.

No other event is more fun and easy to participate in than the poker fundraisers at Snookers. Snookers is located on Hall Road east of Van Dyke on the north side by Dick’s Sporting Goods. We sell poker chips and collect chips from tables on an hourly basis. We enjoy some good fishing stories and fellowship with other club members. So, I know what you’re thinking, “How can I help”? Well it’s easy, see me at the meetings or call me @ 810.513.7754 and sign up. The 2012 dates are: March 31- April 3 10:00am-8:00pm May 30 –June 2 5:00pm-2:00am June 15-18Noon-2:00am September 11-14 5:00pm-2:00am It’s alright if you can only spare an hour or two. Anything you can do will help us make these successful events. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. ULTIMATE FISHING SHOW WAS A GREAT SUCCESS By Ron Sharp I want to thank everyone who helped to make the show a great success again this year. We added a lot of new things to the booth and all the pictures on the display board were last year events. We sold 300 motor raffle tickets and got 6 new members and that’s what we are trying to do. We gave every boy and girl a crawler harness and asked them to drop us a line to let us know what they caught with them and it should be interesting to see the responses. Thanks again for the help and please give Bob Barnes the same support for the Texas Holdem events he has coming up. GMB REMAINING EMBROIDERED SHIRTS, MUST SELL!!!

WHEN I FIRST MET BOB GALVIN By Rich Benson I attended my first LSCWA Christmas party in 2008, we were at Gino’s then and the dinner was excellent. It was a packed house and it seemed like every member had brought their favorite dish or dessert, including us. We had brought some homemade oatmeal cookies, and Bob liked them so much he hung out by the table until I came to retrieve the platter. He told me he had been standing there for nearly 30 minutes waiting for the owner of the platter to come forward just so he could get that recipe! We chatted for a few minutes and had a laugh or two, he was such a nice guy I knew I had to share the recipe with him, he wouldn’t let me not! Bob Galvin Born: January 26, 1938 Place of Birth: Detroit, Michigan Death: January 14, 2012 Place of Death: Royal Oak, Michigan Rest in peace Bob Here is the recipe for the cookies Bob enjoyed: 1/2 cup butter, room temp 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup sugar 3 eggs, room temp 2 teaspoons Kahlua (vanilla works, but who doesn’t like Kahlua?) 1 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 cups oatmeal (quick cooking kind or old-fashioned) 1 package Nestle cinnamon chips 1 6 oz. package of dried cranberries 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional Beat butter and sugars till creamy, add Kahlua and eggs, beat well.
