Re: Early Season Launching
Thanks Lynn for the first fishing post of the new season.My guess is those 20-22" fish were from the 2019 hatch.Should be another great season catching with the string of great hatches of walleye.

There is a public boat ramp on the portage River about a mile west of port Clinton you can launch from.Not as busy as the Catawba public ramp.
