- 36 years on and around Western Lake Erie enjoying fishing, boating, scuba diving, waterfowl hunting, and working seasonally on the Islands and Port Clinton. Ran the Lake for 17 years in a 30' wood Lyman (no longer have a boat). Know the Lake and islands well. Working on underwater video projects, some posted on You Tube and my Lake Erie website, www.ilakeerie.com, a Lake Erie informational website, which also has live Lake Erie webcams, including a live out-on-the-water charter boat webcam. I am constantly gathering and adding content to the site and am always looking for people to help me out - especially taking me out with them on fishing and boating trips. Usually up at the Lake most weekends and some weekdays from mid April through October/November.
