Here are all the channels and what they are used for. I think we would fall under the Non-Commercial Radio Channels.

Hey guys this is riverrat. I live below columbus and started walleye fishing last year. I have a 17 ft deep v that i usally take out around the islands.I think the channel 84 is an excellent ideaseeing that i was out several times last year and end up perch fishing because i cant find the walleye. I get all of my info from this site and i want to thank all of you for the help i have gotten so far, and look forward to getting to talk to some of you on the radio.

Hey all,

I read this site often and have seen the conversation about radio channel,so I have decided to create an account so I can write.

You could say I have grown up on the lake I am the proud owner of a 27'sportcraft out of Meinke Marina West ,my grandparents ,father, myself and now my son had-have boats and have fished the lake many years...

my family, friends and myself fish the spring jig than will cast through the end of June mostly not fishing in the packs but as loners and seem to do as well as anybody we hear of,we than begin filling our freezers with perch!

If we do find a hot spot my family-friends will normally do the cell phone thing to give our location.

I will monitor 84 and as long as I feel comfterable there are not 500 boats doing the same thing and we get into the fish I will share with all of you.

We are heading to Burt Lake Michigan this coming weekend to find some ice than hope to have the boat in the water here in late March.

good luck fishing this coming season to all!

Looking for suggestions on the cheapest radio that will work on the Lake. Is a 6 watt handheld unit enough?? We only get to Lake Erie less than half a dozen times each summer. I always use this site to decide where we are going, usually out of meinke's or Catawba. I have been wanting to get a radio for a while but haven't committed to spending the money. If I get one, I will definitely let people know if we get in to fish. Any ideas?
