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.
With the warm weather near and south winds there's not much time left for Erie so be extremely careful !

08megacab · « **Reply #43 on:** Mar 02, 2015, 10:03 PM »

Thank you for the help/info and taking the time to post this. I have the navionics on my phone but it's always a good idea to have a handheld gps. I'll look on the other sites for more info also

Thanks again

You'll kill yourself riding a sled 6 miles out, unless you are going 5 mph, then you'll be off work for a week!! Recovering!!

I just went out today in the bay about 3/4 of a mile and It was rough with just me on the quad lol

I had a blast tho, I just got setup before the storm hit and I was warm and comfy. I almost wanted to take a nap out there listening to the freezing rain bounce of the shanty

zmantc54 · « **Reply #48 on:** Mar 03, 2015, 09:29 PM »

6 miles in a sled...no ways Josè. Looks like I may be walking around on the sag river this weekend! Next year I will have a snowmobile down here...

Bite was slow for us. We got 4. Out of 2 of us. Lots of lookers on the vex. Just not many takers. Unfortunately 08 megacab (Charles) and i didnt get to meet up. We were back and forth between phone calls. And it was so busy out there it would have been luck to run into each other. But still had a good time

SRJS28 · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 08, 2015, 03:27 PM »

And half way through the day my auger broke. So we could move to much after that
