Mike, I live in central IN and my boat is big enough for Erie. Believe it or not, when I want to do some serious walleye fishing..I charter. the time and hassle of getting my cuddy up there and out on the lake, coupled with the cost of gas, makes chartering the way to go. some captains will 'make up' a charter of guys if you can't get 6 together. Some captains charter 1, 2 or 4 men as well. this site has great charter Captains sponsoring it, so ask them. I occasionally will try to put a group together. tight lines...wannawalleye.
