CharterCam webcam starts Saturday

[West Basin]

The CharterCam live charter fishing boat webcam should start the 2024 season Saturday morning, the next charter. Boat should be out nearly every day afterward (weather dependent). It's on my Lake Erie web site:

I will also be live streaming from my boat when I'm out fishing, nearly every weekend and a few weekdays (weekdays will mostly be Friday evenings and around holidays). I plan to help fisherfolks by getting out early and locating walleye. Once I find active fish, I'll post the spot and then go looking other places for them. Try to find more than one location for people to fish. That stream is at the bottom of the fishing report page. It could change when I get a chance to update the web site.

I will be continuing my citizen scientist underwater camera project as well as doing a lot of experimentation with the Garmin Livescope sonar. Testing how to use it on Lake Erie to find and identify walleye as well as other fish and see how it can be used to increase catch rates.

Also, if anyone needs a ride out fishing, occasionally I may have a spot. Let me know. And, I'm interested in using the livescope (it's a portable system) during trolling. I don't troll, so if anyone has an interest in taking me along when you troll, I'd love to test out the livescope to see how it may be used to improve trolling success.

Everything I'm doing will be updated on the web site as time permits.

If anyone has an interest in any of this, send me a personal message.

This sounds amazing!!! Really nice idea to help out us average dopes that don't have all the fancy equipment that the pros/charters have! I will be following throughout the year!

The CharterCam is back up and online. Should be streaming every day the boat is out. If they go into Canadian waters the stream may stop for awhile.

I will get my boat webcam online later today (Saturday, May 25). Once I get the powerboat launched tomorrow, I will be live streaming from it when I'm out. The rest of the time (when I'm not at the Lake) it will be streaming from West Harbor. I should have a few more cameras online this summer.

When out on the boat, I will be deploying underwater cameras when fishing. Much of the time I will be out away from the fishing packs looking for other areas with active walleye that nobody or few are fishing. I will have my location and fishing success on the live stream. Check in to see where I'm at and if I've located a good area.

I would also like to get out with someone who knows how to troll well so I can test out the Garmin Livescope on a trolling operation. See what kind of sonar images I can get on the lures and fish while trolling. It's a mobile setup, so I can easily take it on another boat. Also use it around docks to find lost items (if big enough to show up on sonar).
