had a trip planned for march 26 - 30. we are comming from 8 hours away. do you think the fish and weather will cooperate, or should we cancel out and reschedule for later date? going to stay and put in at wild wings marina. is there still ice in the marinas? thanks for any advice.
I also have planned a trip to erie for the 26th to the 30th. I will have about a 5 to 5 1/2 hour drive .Im holding out the ice is melting...Im ready to yell fish on !!!!
Gentlemen, If your looking for a good time frame for a hot walleye bite on or around the reefs, it would be of my opinoin to try and make your trip the 2nd or 3rd week of April in lieu of the last week of March. Historically, (the past 30years) you can set your clock by it. When the water temp hits 40 degrees, game on.. Bring your purple haired jigs.........

i agree. mid april. catch fish till you think your arm will fall off. wild wings is an excellent marina. good luck
Wild Wings is a good marina. Turtle Creek Marina, just 1/2 mile west of Wild Wings has nice facilities, warm showers, camp ground, cleaning stations, nice shop, friendly ownership and reasonable rates.

Do any of you guys know of any free/public boat launches in the same area of wild wings.
Listen to what Rodbender told you.Mid April is normally HOT.Hey Rodbender if you are the same guy from OGF Welcome!!
Listen to Rod Bender Turtle Creek has nice facilities.I have kept a boat there for years.It is right in the middle of everything.I caught alot of fish last year off of Crane Creek camped on them till for along time....Good Luck.
Hey WATERFOX if that is the name of your boatI have seen it many times since the campgrounds is also my favorite place to launch.Great people great facility.:D
better wait till april still ice water temp in river 40 degrees need 50 51
I talked to Happy hooker and Rickards today, and they both said the ice blew back in. If you have a long drive, I would hold off for a couple more weeks. It should be going strong by then.
If you want to see where the ice is, take a look at this.

Closest place!!! Metzgers, but you'll spend more on gas to get back and forth vs. paying the $5 and having use of the facilities.
Ok weve moved the trip ahead a week hopefully the ice will be gone by the 2nd...
Yeah It Sure is.It has been my jumping off point for years.I think I have seen you to.Cant wait to get it started.See ya out there.
