erie walleye help

[Coonhunter34]

Hey everyone
I'm from pa and thinking about heading out for walleye near port clinton
just wondering if anyone had some advice
What I really need help with is ice conditions and any safety info
Well be bringing a quad   I have a big heavy 4×4 and a little 2wd
I'd rather take the 2wd quad for weight purposes will that be good enough?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

We were out saturday at crane creek and seen a few 6x6 side by sides a ton of rangers and rzrs, couple argos tons of big quads, we went out 4 miles and were on 18-20 inches of ice

[Coonhunter34]

From everything I've read crane creek seems to be better ice
I'm guessing there is a pretty easy to find trail that guys are going out on 
Do guys fish at night out there?

[Eye_Crosser86]

When we came in an hour before sunset there was a group of four or five heading out, i wasnt gonna try it lol

[Coonhunter34]

Any suggestions on what time to get there and what time bait shops open?

[Eye_Crosser86]

We got bait at AJs at 6:15 got to lake bout 6:45 had to park half mile back on the side of the road

If u have never been there on the weekend it is pandemonium.  Two weeks ago I had friends in from pa so we launched off Catawba.  We were pulling in at 550a and the lot was full people already turning around. It is really something to see everyone heading out in the dark it looked like head lights going for miles out to the shanty town. I am pretty lucky and fish mostly during the week. I forgot how nutts the weekends are.  Good luck.        Mark

There are more fisherman than you can believe on the weekend. Get everything the day before.

My buddy and I are planning on coming out Friday morning  if anyone would like 2 meet up and help show us how to catch some walleye pm me I'd appreciate it

you better take the 4wd and chains for the tires

[Muskyrush]

Weight is no concern most places have 18" some up 36" take the 4x4

[Coonhunter34]

The 4x4 isn't registered or anything.  how often do people get checked for that?

[Winchester66]

I talked with a game warden and he said they do not check for registrations. He said just don't race up and down the streets and you will be fine.
