In an attempt to organize this event so that all runs as smooth as possible, we'll use the format of the EA Outing in Ludington as our template.
Basically we need those interested to either post up or contact me directly (via email is fine) regarding their intentions, with the following information:
Persons attending (including yourself)
Need a ride?
Have a boat with room for other members?
Fishing both days?
That'll be enough to start. Hoping we can get a nice turnout for this event. Little Dandy (Mike) and Roamer (Hal) both keep their boats at Toledo Beach Marina. It is a very nice marina, in fact, probably the nicest one on this end of the lake. There is a launch (one lane) and also transient slips are available. We'll have Mike post up more information regarding the marina. I know that they have a restaurant and bar, along with a fish cleaning station. We'll do our best to try to work with everyone in regards to slips and such. There is also another DNR launch 3 miles up I-75 at Bolles Harbor which could be used as a launch facility should you decide not to slip your boat. Bolles is probably the best public launch on MI waters.
The plan will be to fish Saturday and Sunday, having a cookout of sorts on Saturday afternoon. I'm sure that guys coming from a distance (that would be you Wisconsin lads) will likely arrive sooner than later..which is great.
The fishing should be outstanding. The 2003 year class of fish should all be in the 3-4# range in 2007, and there should be plenty of larger fish around to be had as well. No guarantees...but I would hope that we could put some serious #'s of fillets in the coolers. Michigan limit is 5 walleyes per person, per day. Ohio waters are close as well, and the limit is 6 walleyes per day. You may not catch limits in both states in the same day. Perching should be excellent as well, although most seem to target the walleyes.
In the next few days, I'll be posting information on hotels, restaurants, attractions, etc in the Monroe, Michigan area. Detroit and its casinos (not to mention Windsor) are about an hour or so away. There is a Prime Outlet at Monroe, although it is not the best one that I have seen. Toledo is 15 minutes away, and there is a multitude of things to do there, including shopping, dining, and the ever-present Mud Hens (AAA baseball, incredibly nice stadium, new in 2004).
So start posting up, and keep tabs on this thread. Looking forward to having a bunch of fun on the shores of Lake Erie with all of our Educated Angler friends.
Do not hesitate to contact me should you have questions. More information to come very soon.
