Look up Blue Dolphin charters if you have 3 guys or less . Gary and his son Nicholas are hog catching machines and follows the fish as the season goes . Never a long boat ride so more fishing time . Check out his post on Ohio game fishing .com and you will see what I mean.

We have been catching big fish near the lorain sandbar for a couple weeks now. Take a look at our facebook page for our pictures. We have some openings left. Please give us a call we can put groups together. It should just get better and better. 614.327.7144

Lots of us Captains are catching big fish around the Lorain dump. No big secret there.Many Captains coming out of the Lorain area and do not need to run an hour to the fish and an hour back to the West end marinas giving you less fishing time. Less travel time to and from the spot gives you more fishing time.

Gary Zart is a good choice for a smaller 3 man trip with many local boats leaving from Lorain for 6 pack trips. Many boats from the West End also charge an extra gas charge due to the distance they are running .

Compare apples to apples when looking. Less travel time, less per person, and more fishing time from Lorain charters. Longer boat rides, more expensive, less fishing time for the West and East Harbor guys.

Sounds like you have a problem with the east harbor guys or just skipper 9 since everybody knows what harbor he docks from. I've been watching and listening to all you bs over the past year and finally decided to say something about it why don't you play nice or reveal who you are instead of just talking everyone else. Besides I've fished with skipper 9 on a couple walkons the past few years he only needs a couple hours to limit the latest we were ever back to dock on the trips I was on was noon. So maybe you just need the extra time more people would like you if your weren't a dick.

Thanks for the guys that are giving advice and aren't worried about who this lakeerieguy is or are keeping the bs going. Fyi, in his original post, I did not think he was bashing anyone. Common sense would tell you that if the bigger fish are in a certain area, captains in that area or the guys with smaller boats such as bluedolphin, bigeyez, bigwater, etc have a slight advantage since they have less distance to go or can trailer their boat closer to where the action is. I'm sure on a calm day some captains might make a 20 mile or more run to the big fish but on a rough day probably not likely. Madd Matt is correct in saying that a lot of captains prob won't drive over the smaller eater fish that most guys are perfectly happy with to chase trophy fish. I have fished with a few Erie captains in the past as well as a few in Green Bay Wi, Lake Mi out of IN and IL as well as several salt water captains down in FL. I've heard a lot of bs and seen a lot of crap over the years. It took a long time but I have found a few honest guys that will customize a trip for you and won't feed you a bunch of bs. I personally haven't found one on Erie yet though but have not put as much time in here either. That is what I am doing now and am sure that I will find one as there are a lot if captains here to go through.

One of my questions that hasnt been answered yet though is - is there a time when big fish are more consistant? That might be now as everyone seems to be talking about now - July. I know that Green bay has a good big fish bite in late July thru Aug. Bay de noc isngood in Nov. at night. What about Erie? I wish I could get out sometime within the next 2 weeks but can't. Maybe in 3 but Aug. and Sept. or even later would be bettet for my schedule. Thanks again to those who have given advice.
