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.Quote:

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.
No TWIC card is needed either .
