Shipping Channel To Toledo Lighthouse July 17

Great post Greg, good luck this week, I'm sure you'll let us know how you do. Are you going to run over to Wheatley as well? I may be up on the lake around the islands on Friday evening, are you going to be around?

Rebel, you can always say what you want and Spoontang is right your posts are most often informative, but in the interest of being helpful you probably should have said better luck next time, try 5 miles to the east. Slamming "Cheap" about a what you view as a bad post doesn't really do anyone any good.

I will make the run if conditions are perfect on Wednesday. I have the itch real bad. I would also like to fish one day this weekend. The bite I mentioned near Pelee is outstanding. I have a friend who did outstanding there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I will stay in touch.

Spoontang,
Where is to closest launch site to get to Sheridan Point (I live in Dundee)? Since it appears it is in Canadian water are there any special boat requirements? Where would you suggest getting a Canadian License and what are the limits over there? Where are the "H" can and the "impact area"? May make the run on Thursday. Sorry for so many questions and thanks for all your posts to help us out.

Sheridan Point is on the Northwest side of Pelee Island. many of the fish passing through there are the fish that have left Ohio waters. You can purchase a license at the tavern just across the street from West dock on the West side of Pelee or you can go to Scudders Marina in North Bay and take a taxi to the hardware store. I would launch as far North on Catawba as possible. The run would be about 15 miles to West dock and another 5 to Sheridan Point. H can is a Camp Perry impact area boundry marker just West of the Portage River. Sunday there was firing going on and there was a military boat making rounds to keep boats out of the area. The H can bite won't last long. I would advise making the run to Pelee. Remember, the smallmouth are thick there. If you struggle with eyes, be rigged up ready for some bronzebacks.

True Blue- I didn't answer your boat requirement question. When you dock and hit land, you need to call customs and report. Each passenger should have birth certificate and drivers license. The captain needs to make the call and give boat registration numbers and information for each pasenger. They will need age, birthdate, name, purpose, length of stay, tobacco, alcohol or weapons on board, (weapons include mase). It is easier than it sounds and well worth it.

Spoontang,
I may be able to get out on Thursday but have a few questions. Where is the best place to launch to go to Sherradin Point (I live in Dundee)? Do you need any special markings or equipment on your boat to fish in Canadian waters? Where is the best place for me to get a Canadian license? Where is the "H can" and the "impact area"? Sorry for so many questions.
