Before I decided to purchase my boat, I spent $35 + bait and ice~ snacks for about 10 trips on the walk on charters in Port Clinton. A good way to get familar with the drifting tactics used on Lake Erie. It is a great way to get to know people and also what the charter captains recommend. Like life.... fishin is the same... you learn by others and trial and error.. and sometimes just plain luck. Anyways.... today I caught a 27" inch walleye... my biggest ever! On a worm harness in 20 fow just north of stave reef. Using a gold and sliver blade.
