Anyone know of any good campgrounds to stay at around Lake Erie?

[KennyTheKangaroo]

there arent any state park campgrounds around erie. other types? not sure

[mac5155]

There was one right on the lake/beach I looked in to, but it wouldn't allow pets so it was out.


Im going to Cheat Lake tomorrow for the first boating trip of the year, and I am beyond stoked.

I went sailing on sunday in Annapolis around the naval academy. Sunburn city.

Ive been saying this for the last two years, but I think I'm really going to try fishing on the first day of trout season this year. It will be the first time since 95 or 96.

Thats around when I quit fishing altogether, so I'm looking to get some new gear. My rod and reel and ok, but I'd probably want some new line on it.

Beyond that its like I'm starting completely over. I don't even remember much.

My family owns property [sorta] near Birdsfoot Golf Course right on Buffalo Creek, so thats where I'm gonna go.

If you are going to be creek fishing, fly fishing is a great thing to get into. If that's not your thing, you can still get some good spinner-bait and lures.

If you're going lake fishing, nothing beats maggots, mealworms, and nightcrawlers. I haven't gone fishing in 2-3 years. The price of the license is what deters me, really.

[KennyTheKangaroo]

oh thats nonsense macster

[mac5155]

what is? that I dont like shelling out $35 for catch and release of some trout?

[BuckintheLou]

Used to fish Wheeling Creek years and years ago. Stocked fish so catching a limit was almost guaranteed. Meal worms, salmon eggs and corn were all that was required.
IIRC, was always a good time. Used to stay in a cabin some friends had.
Then, I started turkey hunting. Have'nt trout fished in Pa since.

[mac5155]

Yeah, I'd much rather turkey hunt than fish.

You dont pay $35 each time you fish, bro.

[mac5155]

I go fishing like 4-5 times a year. It's not really worth it IMO.

[cheesesteakwithegg]

Probably about 7 years ago, my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I were up at Lake Arthur for the day to do some fishing, hiking, etc. I was fishing from shore, and the blue gills were hitting, so my wife wanted to give it a shot. Sure enough, she hadn't been fishing for 2 minutes when the fish commission showed up and gave her a $100 fine for fishing without a license. From that point on, I have gotten her a license every year just to be safe. She doesnt trout fish, so it's only like $22 for what she needs.

[BuckintheLou]

Agree. I'm too old to be constantly looking over my shoulder for 'the man' to see if I need to cut and run.
I hunt and fish because I enjoy it. I'm defeating the purpose if I have to concentrate more on not getting busted than the task at hand.

[mac5155]

Well you could just buy a license. Lol

[legame]

In Kalispell, Montana visiting college friends. Excited to ski tomorrow and go snowshoeing through Glacier National Park this weekend.

Sweet indeed. No 'roughing it' with that.
