I keep my boat in rack storage in Port Clinton. Brand's dry dock is the name of the marina. It is a 24 ft Chaparral and I can fish 5 and 4 is very comfortable. I live in Lexington Ohio near Mansfield and have about a 1 1/2 hour drive to the lake. I grew up spending weekends and vacations on the lake and picked up my first boat 8 years ago. The walleye fishing wasn't great then but we caught a few and got a little better at it each year. Now we are still fishing the huge hatch of 2003 and the fishing has been easy. Steelhead are my favorite thing to catch out of the lake. next year I am going to take a week and do just steelie fishing. Feel free to send your phone # via private message. Next season we can fish the same boat or you can follow or whatever works and yes I would have room for your dad too.
