Best graduated ramp of all the ones at Turtle Creek! So glad to see this maria re-open!

Glad you took my advice on not going out on the Erie for Walleye with her......nice big shelter you have.......... kids like to fish, like to SEE FISH in the water, and like to CATCH fish...we all...

You know things can go wrong out on the big lake, perhaps a trip to an inland lake where your daughter can catch Blue Gills would work better.......?..... more safe & likely more "catching" ? Just a...

I've lived and boated my entire life on Lake Erie, western basin. You have no idea of what you are talking about in regards to taking kayaks out on the lake. Actually I'm wondering if this isn't a...

Some thoughts: With all the snow and slush likely on the ice, I'd suggest talking to somebody in regards to difficulty of such 4 wheelers to drive out there now. Definitely choose snowmobiles if...

We were riding double on my friend's 4 wheeler but I got off before he drove over the open crack pulling two clam shelters. He was safely on the other side but now I had to get across. I walked...

Thanks Jig, I was going this weekend but not now! (see my other REPLY about ice breaking off last Saturday. Lucky

Thanks Jig, this Lucky (hunted in your home deer stand few years back). Last Saturday when crossing a 12" crack with 4 wheeler, the ice broke off (? 3' x 6') right behind the machine. Everything...

Please post any comments here if you have been out of Camp Perry/Catawba fishing since Feb. 1.
There were many 12" open cracks with thin (4") ice at the edges last Saturday.
(see my other posting)....

Madd Matt is right. Last Saturday my fishing bud & I had to ride double on a quad because of lack of snow...instead of taking two liquid cooled sleds. On the way back in to Camp Perry we found...

MLSMITH83 is right, get a FAN COOLED 2 up sled (likely pre 2001) with REVERSE...ideally push button electronic reverse. Liquid cooled sleds need to throw snow up into a radiator like part that is...

Left the very friendly and well stocked Magee East marina and had 4 eyes in little more than half hour.
Great bite a mile or so out from Turtle Creek.

Thanks the Magee East staff for their...

Sorry to report my friend's brother must have read your post and was kidding his brother about finding an auger. I am sure he didn't find anything because they were out of Magee.

Good Luck in...

Good News:

I believe I know where your friend's auger is, but not the Vexilar.
Post a phone number, and description of the unit.
I or friend will get back ............. The Hunter.

Matt,
naming a boat the RIGHT NAME is tough. I like your thought of getting other inputs. I've had four boats on Erie through the years, all but the last one got named. First three were I II III...

Couple more things a chef told me to do in preparing fillets:
1. If fillets frozen or in fridg, let them sit out to point of getting close to room temp! Especially if using a small fryer, cold...

For ever I've followed this sequence in preparing Perch to fry.
1. Egg
2. Flour
3. crumbs or ?? similar

By just swapping 1 & 2, it made all the difference in the world! Hard to believe, but...

You will also need a drift sock. I imagine you already have or know about these but if not check with the fishing stores for the socks and the lines for them.

My suggestion would be to buy one...

There was ice a quarter mile out from Turtle Creek Tuesday. Might call Lamberjacks. Word is the lake is mud, I'm waiting until next week. Fishing report from Wednesday from Bolles toward West...

Dead Minnows...........can you tell us where this lighthouse is ?
Could you be talking about the Outer Light on the shipping channel near Turtle Island ?

Thanks in advance..............

Fished Sunday morning 8-11am. Tried by Radar Buoy South.....one Walleye and a few Sheapsheads. Tried Hair Jigs/Minnow and Blades, caught the Eye on gold/chart. blade.

Question: Anyone having...

Cullen Park: I have launced an 18' there many times, bent a few props too. If I remember correctly, don't cut the angle back to the ramp too close, head west off the river, make a right angle...

Turtle Creek has several launches and such. I prefer the closest to the lake and the oldest LAMBERJACK's ! They have a store, bait, fuel, docks and a view of the lake so you'll have some idea of...

I appreciate the ice conditions report for our Western Basin of Lake Erie (for me Brest Bay to Catawba). THANKS! We at this end of the lake do tend to think of Lake Erie as only what we see...

Guys,
the DNR has come through early this year and put one dock in.

So launching isn't a problem from there. Also, Trouts Marina appears to have their ramp open. This is the marina across the...
