Title: Lake Erie Access
Post by: Iceassin on Dec 06, 2020, 06:24 AM

Say a few Wolverine fans wanna come to The Buckeye State for a little Walleye fishing...and please don't hold that against us  ;)...where would be a good place to launch should we get some ice? Would like to stay from Catawba/Port Clinton and to the west. I have fished out of Turtle Point on the soft water but that's it. We'll have sleds and quads so the travel out is not an issue. Thanks.

I do not know if we will have any fishable ice again this season, but if we do I would suggest looking at Camp Perry. Since you will need to pay for lodging anyway,you can leave your room and have direct access to the lake from the beach. I have attached a link for you to look at: https://cplcc.com/lodging/

Kind regards.

Here is a nice web site with live web cams of lake erie that shows current conditions: https://www.shoresandislands.com/webcams/.

This should help all that are wondering what condition the lake is.

It will show depth and location of the various reefs.
