Red,

There is no camping at Catawba State Park. Just picnicking, sitting and enjoying the Lake, and a boat launch which is not currently operating. You'll have to camp over at East Harbor State Park, which may be what you meant to say. It's over on the east side of Catawba across from Catawba State Park, not far, about a 15 minute drive. You can easily get to the State Mazurik Boat Launch just east of the park. Walleye fishing is moving back into the Western Basin from the Central Basin (Cedar Point and Huron). Yes, east of Kelleys Island and north of Cedar Point should be good areas but good catches of walleye are starting out northwest of South Bass and Rattlesnake Islands. Ask around to get the latest reports as well as checking back here.
