Went out of Crane yesterday, ice was fine, 18" at least!!
Crane creek state park
Bump...what are we thinking boys and girls?
I'm ready anytime for Erie!! I'm going out here in the bay tomorrow so lets get this thing going lol.
we need to find a safe spot to go out of thats not in ohio. And all agree on it. Im ready but like i said its going to be the blind leading the blind
Gotta a guy talking about cranes creek in ohio. $7 per day for license and 9 miles out. Theyre are some guys already going there that know whats going on
If you guys show up at Crane Creek around 6:00 am to 7:00 am with your own transportation and all gear ready to go there will be many others heading out to the regular areas and it's easy to just follow the crowd out.Make sure you have a compass for backup and extra batteries or charge systems for phones if you intend on using cells for gps. Very poor cell service on the western basin. Download the Navionics app, Phones will search for signal a lot and die before the end of the day. Handheld gps is important to have for main navigation. It is very easy to get turned around out there with fog or white outs and once your out there 3 to 6 miles the shore all looks the same so don't think you can pic a landmark and depend on that for guidance. I seen visibility go from 5 miles to 500 feet in ten minutes last weekend when the ice fog hit. There are other sites you should go to for info on Lake Erie like walleye.com or OhioGamefish.com. There are tons of experienced sportsman on there that offer a wealth of information.I would recommend you have someone with you that knows the ropes on Erie if this your first time out.
I got gps locations for 6 miles out. Gonna need some kind of transportation. I guess it's pretty rough. Dont think someone could do a sled ride
Going out of camp perry sat morning at 6:00. Its in ohio. You can get a daily license for $7. Meeting at a gas station of US-2. More info to come
What gas station? Wouldn't mind following you guys out if its ok? But isn't it a military base?
im getting more info on gas station for ya. And where we are launching from. This is all new to me. My buddy has all the info.
Ok sounds good Thanks
sent you a PM
What a blast out there. I couldn't believe how many people was out there on the lake. It looked like big city's everywhere you looked lol. For the first time going all I can say is WOW!! I defiantly will be going back!!
