I like this Innovative Fishing Tournament Series - It’s new to me and more people should be made aware of it I believe.
AIM Pro Walleye Series™ TournamentsAnglers Insight Marketing – http://www.aimfishing.com/

Many innovations are incorporated in every AIM tournament to make fishing fun and rewarding for the competitors while being exciting to the fans.

Exclusive AIM Format Innovations
The primary innovation is the exclusive AIM Catch-Record-Release™ (CRR™) format. With CRR, teams of Pro Anglers and Co-anglers measure each walleye on the official AIM ruler and take a digital photograph, record the length of each walleye on the official scorecard, and then immediately release the live fish. NO fish are brought to the “weigh-in” stage. Instead, the Pro Angler selects the SEVEN largest walleyes that are tallied for his daily weight. (The length of each walleye is converted to pounds and ounces using a standardized formula prior to taking the stage.)

The photos of the largest walleyes caught are displayed to the weigh-in fans – and also included in the live streaming of the proceedings on www.aimfishing.com. Because all fish are recorded and then immediately released, Pro Anglers are allowed to “weigh” fish within local “slots” that would otherwise be excluded from the daily bag.

The AIM Catch-Record-Release™ format has three huge advantages for the sport of competitive angling.

First, AIM tournaments can be scheduled at the best times of the year for catching the most fish at each tournament site. Tournaments have been prohibited in many locations at certain times of the year due to fish kills associated with conventional formats that hold the fish in “live wells”.
Second, AIM tournaments reward the Pro Anglers that catch the biggest fish – not the anglers that were fortunate enough to catch fish in a certain order, dictated by local slot limits and possession rules. As noted above, the daily weigh limits for AIM tournaments include the SEVEN largest walleyes. This also means that a Pro Angler can come from behind and advance many places; the excitement continues up to the last minute of the last day!
Third, AIM Pro Anglers can not suffer penalties that are assessed in other formats for fish that are not releasable. With many events being decided by mere ounces, “dead fish” penalties are never a deciding factor in AIM tournaments.
A Festive Atmosphere
Another key component of AIM Pro Walleye Series™ events is that most are being scheduled to coincide with local festivals. While tournament angling is exciting to the participants, it receives lesser interest from the general public. Scheduling AIM events within festivals helps to expose the sport of fishing to an audience of literally hundreds of thousands of new people. The festival attendees will see tournament anglers, along with their impressive boats and tow vehicles (and sponsor affiliations) up close at the AIM weigh-ins.

Cutting-Edge Internet Presence

In addition to the weigh-in stage show for the local fans, the entire weigh-in is also broadcasted live at www.aimfishing.com. This live streaming includes interviews with the Pro Anglers and Co-anglers and photos of hundreds of the largest walleyes caught that day. Also featured are numerous videos taken by the AIM camera crew as well as video clips recorded by the anglers themselves.

AIM has adopted the latest video technology to actually upload videos during the course of each tournament day. These “On the Water” videos are added continually to www.aimfishing.com (plus your iPhone) during the day and they provide the head-to-head competition that has never been possible to cover in tournament angling before.

On Day Three of each tournament the top Pro Anglers’ boats are equipped with the AIM Pro Track™ GPS systems. Pro Track™ systems provide continual GPS tracks that can be followed all day at www.aimfishing.com. The GPS tracks not only show the exact locations of the leaders but also their travel speeds – allowing viewers to discern whether the trolling bite is working or the leaders have switched to jigging or are making a high-speed run to try a different “secret location.”

AIM Pro Walleye Series™ details

AIM Pro Walleye Series™ tournaments pair the Pro Anglers with a different randomly drawn Co-angler each day. The Pro Anglers’ daily weights are cumulative over the course of the tournament. The field is cut on Day Three to the top Pro Anglers – based on a formula that uses percentages linked to the number of entries. The Pro Anglers that make the Day Three cut are paired with lucky Co-anglers that were selected by a random drawing at the pre-event Rules Meeting.

AIM Pro Walleye Series™ events will provide the winning Pro Angler with a cash first prize of $30,000. Each AIM tournament guarantees a payout of not less than 100% of entry fees. Additional cash and prizes boost the totals beyond 100%.

Pro Angler entry fees are $1,500 per event for AIM Owners and Life Members. Non-Members pay a $250 Membership fee per event; however these fees are capped at a maximum of $500 for non-Member Pros that register for four tournaments before March 1, 2010 ( a 50% discount.)

Co-angler entry fees are only $250 for a guaranteed two days of fishing with the nation’s top walleye Pros, and the high odds of fishing a third day for FREE after the Pro cut. Co-Anglers do not compete for cash prizes, but instead receive great prizes provided by the AIM Marketing Partners. In 2009, these prizes had total values in excess of the entry fees!

Walleye Technologies today introduced its next-generation, hand-held, portable imaging technology capable of “seeing” into and through solid objects. The Walleye Imaging System is a patent-pending technology platform that generates high-quality digital images that can be readily displayed, stored, analyzed, and transmitted. The Walleye Imaging System works like a battery-powered digital “camera” that uses invisible wavelengths to see into and through objects. The Walleye Imaging System prototype uses millimeter wave-based technology combined with proprietary optical components to create the images.

The Walleye Imaging System has applications across a diversity of markets, including, consumer, security and medical applications. Walleye Technologies’ business model is to partner with leading manufacturing, marketing and sales organizations in the targeted markets. One example of a security application of the Walleye Imaging System is the ability for security personnel to scan bags, packages, and people in a non-invasive manner and without physical contact.

“The Walleye Imaging System is the first system of its kind that is competitively priced to deliver high performance devices to markets where there is a compelling business need,” says Chris Adams, CEO of Walleye Technologies. “We see huge potential for this product in the security market especially in conjunction with other Homeland Security initiatives. The Walleye Imaging System offers unmatched capabilities at a price that is 10 times less than current systems.”

In the consumer or home repair market contractors are frequently faced with the problem of identifying structures or objects behind walls. The only solution currently available is to put exploratory holes in the wall which can damage pipes or wires and cause project delays and increased costs. The Walleye Imaging System will allow contractors to see inside of the walls without causing damage and remove the guess work from repair and renovation projects resulting in significant cost and time savings.

About Walleye Technologies

Walleye Technologies develops next generation hand-held portable imaging systems capable of “seeing” into and through solid objects. The company’s patent-pending imaging technology platform, the Walleye Imaging System, generates high quality images and has a diversity of applications from consumer to security imaging markets.

Ask Walleye Fishing

Ventura, CA (PRWEB) October 2, 2007

While one of least popular freshwater species to catch, Walleye fishing is a niche that has been largely ignored on the Internet. Catfish, Crappie, and Bass are far more popular in terms of number of fishermen out there. On the other hand, Walleye Fishermen are some of the most rabid of all.

Fishing researcher, Dan Eggertsen, has decided to give Walleye Fishermen the attention they deserve with his new website Ask Walleye Fishing.

Dan, and his panel of Walleye Fishing experts are fielding questions from Walleye Fishermen throughout North America in hopes of bringing more exposure to the hobby, and also to satisfy the knowledge gap that exists between beginners and experts.

There is no cost to ask a question on the site, and when asked why, Dan responded, “I don’t believe fishermen should be charged to have their questions answered by experts. There are a lot of free fishing forums on the Internet where guys are having their questions answered daily. The problem is, you don’t know who the information is coming from, and what location of the country the guy lives in. There is a disconnect between question asker and answerer on fishing forums – in most cases. I just wanted to provide a free service where Walleye fishermen know they are getting their specific questions answered by the best. My ultimate goal is for the site to be known as the best resource for Walleye Fishing information in North America.”

There are 3 experts fielding the questions now, and Dan plans to expand this to 10 experts as the site gets more exposure.

Western Lake Erie Fishing Reports

Kingsville, Leamington Pelee Fishing Reports November 2009
Not a lot to report. Fishing slowed right down in this area. Probably perch to be caught but weather noe presents some challenges.
Some blurbs from the net!
Western Basin
Walleye: There were very few walleye fishing reports from the western basin over the past week. Migratory walleye will return to the Kelleys and Bass Islands area as water temperatures drop. Expect fishing to improve in historical fall walleye areas within the next few weeks.

Yellow perch fishing remains good with the size of fish mostly from 7 to 8” with a few up to 12”. The best areas have been the gravel pit W of West Sister Island, the Toledo water intake, around Niagara Reef, W of Green Island and Rattlesnake Island, Kelleys Island, around the Catawba green can, and off of Cedar Point. Perch spreaders or crappie rigs with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

BEST BIG FISHING ANYTIME
Captured 29 big walleye today. Fished north northwest of Vermilion about 6 to 7 nautical miles. Used 50′ jets back 40′ to 50′ pulling Rip Sticks. What a great time for big trophy fish.

10-30-09
AWESOME
Captured 35 big walleye. Ran over them on the way out. Had 3 fish at 11:30 am. Moved south back into the stained water and caught our fish. Was around 7 nautical miles north northwest of Vermilion. Used 50′ jets back 45′ to 60′ pulling ripsticks. Texas Red was a good color.

Fishing remains spotty – rainbows east of Point Pelee are still tough but the next spell of hot water may give us a shot at some good fishing yet. Some rainbows being boated down near the western wind turbines. Walleyes appear a bit tough also with on and off days. Reports of some decent walleye catches down by Kingsville Harbor in 32-35 feet of water. Reports of some great perch catches just east of Wheatley harbor very shallow and close to shore near the provincial park.

Fishing has been very spotty with the weather conditions. Walleye fishing out of Sturgeon Creek and along Point Pelee is relatively good but Pelee Island has slowed up.

Rainbow fishing out of Wheatley has been tough but the last few days have improved. Locations include deep water 63-65 feet, the windmills very recently and SE of Wheatley harbor 4-5 miles.

I don’t have August solunar table info put together yet. If anybody really wants info for a particular time just email me at tom@onlinweb.com and I will help you out.
