Be ready for a truly off shore experience! My first time on a Great Lake and was totally in awe of its massive size!

I would highly recommend Port Clinton with their accessible marinas, ports, lodging and their catering to the charter business, their captains and visitors.

First time fishing in Port Clinton, I would tell you to go in May or June. Later in the summer is a little weather pending. still good fishing just might not be every day.

Walleye are tough to catch in August and September due to the water temps. May, June, July they were limiting out.

The Shipyards Marina is really nice and clean, and you can grab a beer and some great food there, too! Easy to get to.

If fishing in the morning bring a jacket as it might be a bit cool. Make sure to confirm if your charter boat has a toilet. Ours listed as it did, but did not. Just made sure everyone went before leaving the dock…especially the ladies.

Be ready to catch walleye. There are some monster size fish in the Lake and Captain Larry’s Walleye Magnet knows exactly where they are. Get a good nights sleep and be ready to reel!

September seems to be in between peak walleye and perch season, but we were still able to catch both.

I would check you weather report. The fish are out there you just have to be patient and find them but when you do it's on. Fish cleaning business will meet you at the dock, they do a great job at a good price. Nice area with friendly people and good restaurants.

Be mindful of the wind as too much wind will cause you not to be able to fish.

Be aware that the weather in July can be fickle. Unfortunately for our schedules the lake tells you when you can fish, but don't let that discourage you, the walleye are worth it!
