Avon Lake team wins Lorain Lake Erie Walleye Tourney
Avon Lake's David Frey captained the winning team in Lorain County's fifth annual Lake Erie Walleye Tourney amid rough seas. He credited "lots of homework" and scouting for locating eight walleyes eight miles north of Lorain in 50 feet of water, with fish feeding in the top 20 feet. Frey praised his wife Mary for contributing netting two fish and catching one herself, and urged newcomers to persist through challenging conditions.
