We stayed at the Best Western in Port Clinton. The parking lot fills fast with trailers but even with just a truck full of gear you don’t really have much to worry about. Being there’s so many rigs and rooms right there, guys will be checking on anything going on outside.
We launched at the one just NE of Magee Friday and wasn’t bad. Landing do fill fast in the AM. Guys were talking about getting to the launch by 530-6 just fir a spot to park.
As Andy said the night bite just wasn’t that great. My group stayed out til 10pm and didn’t have as much luck after 6pm and all but a couple groups had left the by 5-530pm.
We had luck using just the shiner head on #3 glow jiggin rap or rattle spoons with either a head or whole shiner.
Coming from Minnesota through Chicago without an I pass, be ready with lots of one dollar bills and quarters. Make sure to watch the signs of paying with cash. If you miss the toll, it’s toll fee plus $20 for a certain time frame and then goes up. If you remember the toll gate number you can go online and pay without the penalty.
