Camp grounds

Love the site guys!!! this is my first post i have been reading all the post for a year now so i am ready to try the spring jigging i have my own boat lund 20' tyee im thinking on going on a charter for a couple of days to see how things are done befor i go out on my own i am looking fo a campground and a place to dock my boat close the the reefs any help would be appreciated !! will be with my son so i will have plenty of room for another 2 guys free of chagre to show me how things are done on erie Thanks again guys!!! this site is awesome

The first 3 are located on Turtle Creek! You cannot get much closer than this. I believe they also rent short term docks. The 4th I am not sure of but included it also as it is just as close and may rent camping spaces and short term docks. Contact information only for the last 2. The last one (Wild Wings) has a restaurant on site in back of gas station building. All have fish cleaning facilities and the last one (Wild Wings) has a commercial fish cleaner available also. Bait stores are close by also and at least one(Magee East) has bait at the Marina Campground store. All are nice facilities.

Hi folks I too am new to this site but have been following the threads and find them very informative. I'm from southwestern pa (Irwin area)and have a 20' Lund Baron and plan on heading up that way for some spring fishing. My plan is to bring my boat up and find a place to store it during the weekdays while I work and come up every weekend and fish. I really don't want to have to tow it 460 mile round trip every weekend so if anyone knows any safe secure reasonably priced places to leave it I would appreciate any info

OutBoard or I/O?

I/O. 115 Johnson w/9.9merc kicker

My apologies Wakina I meant outboard

You might be interested in Beef Creek Marina. It is family owned and operated and the owners are wonderful people. It is located on a dead end road next door to Paradise Acres Campground and the owners live on site! Someone is there almost all the time during the boating season and the Dockage for a full season runs $600.00 and all are floating docks. They also offer dry dockage where you keep your boat on the trailer and slip it in as needed. The ramps are not steep and they have fish cleaning facilities next to the marina. Down side is that they have no bait on site and there is no fuel on the river anywhere. The channel leading into the lake can be tricky thus the question about the Outboard or I/O. Once you learn the channel there is little reason to not dock there.

I have been there several seasons and find it a nice quiet enjoyable place to keep my boat. I also enjoy it because of the lack of traffic and strange people moving around like in some of the other marinas nearby. I have never heard of anyone having had mischief done to their boat or equipment. They will call you if they suspect something might be wrong with your rig. I and several others carry our fuel in to our boats but there is a gas station located down the road to the west on Rt.2 about 1.5 miles from the marina. You can also run over to Wild Wings by water and fuel up there if you care to do it that way. Most who dry dock just go to the gas station and stop at Dream Catcher Baits which is right along Rt.2 the way to or from the gas station. I am not sure of the price for dry dockage it is not on my contract paper. If interested I will PM you their number.

Thanks Wakina id appreciate that

good idea to familiarize yourself with erie this spring.The exceptional 2015 walleye hatch will be plentifull,but under the legal 15" length limit.Next spring will be a bonanza of 19" fish that should easy to limit on jig fishing.I can remember the 2003 hatch, when the fish reached their 19" length.The spring jig fishing was amazing.Then casting worm harnesses was also easy to limit on.Will be some great action on and around erie next spring and early summer.
