Ice Taxi's ?

[PirateMike]

Does anyone know of any ice taxi's that will take you out to the good fishing areas? Not looking for guide, more of the ride out.

Not saying there aren't any, but I have not seen any at anchor point Metzger, Magee area......maybe Catawba???? I would guess you could catch ride out if you post that you are looking for ride....especially on weekends.

It's been 18 yrs since I fished LE, got the itch and walked out 3 mi last Sat. No taxi = long walk. Sold sled last yr and wow, will not walk again.

I was actually thinking about using my sled to give people rides for like 10$ or something..... If you are interested in a ride from Catawba message me.

Make it a donation if you have no guide lisence. it might not be legal to have a price. But you might get more than $10.

No guide license is needed to run a ice taxi on Erie as long as you do not provide any fishing supplies such has , holes drilled , bait , shanty stuff like that . Have good insurance however because if something happens , your on the line for it . Take people out and the crack opens, have a way to get them back since you took them out . Sled has problems , have a back up to get back out to pick them up or once again your butt is on the line .

Money to be made for sure as I did it on 09 out of then Crane Creek for 50.00 round trip .Made an avg of 300.00 bucks a day that winter. Would bring both quads just in case something happened to the main one .Keep a list with names and numbers of the guys you run out to make sure you get them all back in as well as your responsable once they pay you .


If you feel better about having a guide License , just go to the DNR in Sandusky and pay 50.00 for an ice fishing guide license and then you have one .

The main reason people dont do it much anymore is because of the liabilty .

Do you need a TWIC Card for just a state licence? Federal or Coast guard licence is not required unless you are running a boat(watercraft) of some type, be it air or regular boat.

[Lakeerieguy]

No TWIC card is needed either .
