" Nothin But A Walleye Good Time"

Four A.M. at the Sandusky ramp
Harbor lights flicker in the pre-dawn damp
Back her down, let the lines unwind
Fog on the water, got fish on my mind

20 foot Trophy boat sittin’ proud
Bow pointed east where the gulls cry loud
Suzuki 140 starts to sing
That four-stroke growl is a beautiful thing


Trim her up, let her eat that wake
Headed for Kelleys before daybreak


I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but an island walleye good time
Runnin’ past the cans on a straight GPS line
Put-in-Bay glowin’ off to the right
Marble eyes waitin’ in the morning light
You can keep your city grind
I’m chasin’ gold on the state line
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but an island walleye good time


Round Kelleys Island we start the troll
Twenty feet down where the big girls roll
Dipsey divers hummin’ low
Boards out wide in a steady flow

Purple harness, Stinger flash
Markin’ hooks stacked on the graph in a mass
Brother yells, “Board just dropped!”
Drag starts screamin’ — heart rate popped


Net man leanin’, knees bent tight
Golden donkey ready to fight

Chorus
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but an island walleye good time
West Basin chop and a perfect line
Marble eyes and a cooler of ice
Limit by noon feels real nice
You can keep your overtime
I’m driftin’ free in that Erie brine
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but an island walleye good time

  When that planer board slides back slow —
You KNOW, you KNOW!
When that rod tip loads up deep —
Don’t let GO!
Net that hog, hear the crew all shout —
That’s what the Islands are about! 

            (Full throttle, wind machines on high)
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but an island walleye time
Past Put-in-Bay in a sunrise shine
Autopilot set, rods in a row
Watchin’ that speed at 1.9 go
Trophy boat ridin’ steady and fine
Suzuki hummin’ pure four stroke prime
I ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but an island walleye good  time
