Channel Grove Marina is the Best!

Hey everyone... The secret is out as I've already had a few people in here private message me and text and /or call.

So I am posting this as a courtesy to all the loyal members in here and not necessarily as an advertisement.

After being a long time member at Channel Grove Marina in Lakeside-Marblehead, OH my brother and I purchased the marina the 1st of this month.

We are both excited and humbled to be the new owners of such a great family tradition. Channel Grove Marina has been in the same family and handed down through 3 generations since it was established in 1924! The Brown's family decided to sell the business and pursue other endevours. An innocent conversation in the boat yard in early Spring of 2014 while I was cleaning my boat before launching for the season lead to me and my brother purchasing it and being the proud new owners.

I would like to thank all the members in here that are current dockers at Channel Grove: Skipper9; Spoonfeeder; Miso Ohio; BowGuy; Troy1976; Walleye2Go; GANGWest; RsFrail; GettinJiggy; BobR; and I am sure that there are a few that I missed.

If you are on Walleye.com and you dock at Channel Grove, I'd love to meet you. Please feel free to get hold of me anytime.

Thanks,
-Matt Gaiser

Does channel grove offer daily ramping ? If so, your fee. Also, any onsite boat/trailer parking during off days. Thanks , Mike

Congratulations Matt!!

I love CGM and really the great fishing family we have there! I believe the network we have established there is second to none! I'm glad the deal worked out! Congrats again!

Congratulations Matt!!

Docked at Channel Grove this past year and very satisfied with it. Plan on docking there again this upcoming season.

Mike,

My apologies that I didn't respond sooner. We do have an onsite fenced area for boat storage. We also have a small ramp. However, the boat ramp has not been used for many years by the previous owners and needs maintenance. At least for this first year I recommend that you use Mazurik State Park boat ramp which is free and only a mile away.

We do have transient (day docks) available for $25/day. If you are going to stay more than a couple days give me a call and we can work out a discount. 740-591-5507

Thanks Greg! I agree with you 100%

How big of boats do you accommodate there, and do you have water hookups?

We do not have water hookups. About the longest boat we can accommodate is 36' depending on the dock.

Baydog,

Contract to reserve your spot for next year will be going out the first week of January. We ask that you get it back to us by Feb. 15th to reserve your same dock from last year.

We hold last year's docks until March 1 before we rent them out to a new member.

Best marina around congrats Matt!

looking forward to doing business with you next year matt. hope we actually get to meet! maybe we will get a little hard water yet and hook up to ice fish!

Docked at CGM last year for first time. Great experience and awesome support from the many charter captains there. Plan on docking there again in 2017.

First and foremost congratulations on buying the marina!! I could not be happier knowing the marina is going to be in your hands. If any of you want to part of a marina that makes you feel like family you can't go wrong at Channel grove. All the boats share info on the Fishing info and help each other on and off the water. Believe me I can always use a new member of my marina family.
Matt I have know you for years as a friend, dock mate, and fellow fisherman. I could not ask for a better person to run Channel grove. Looking forward to many years at Channel grove.

Tom I don't think you needed any help with the fishing!! You did great trip after trip. See ya in the spring.

Congrats Matt and Co.
Slip 124 here! Just sent out check and paperwork...psyched for 2017 which will be our second season, but been going to Lakeside-Marblehead my whole life. Would love to chat and meet you and yours. Grew up in SE Ohio myself (Athens HS grad). Family all over Ohio and Michigan.
Good luck!

*****And to all you other "Grovers", I'd love to get to know more of you, have a cold one and talk Walleye and Smallmouth. Been really impressed with the general friendliness around there.*****
