Skipper, what you said about guides make me a little leery. My father and I are talking about making a weekend trip to Erie to get out on the ice and were just going through the list of guides on the DNR website. Are there any in particular that you would recommend and are there any of the walleye.com captains that run on ice?

For this year we're just looking for a guide. That would be cheaper and easier for us than getting all of the requisite equipment for a once a year type of thing.
