If the weather stays decent, I'm planning on going to Lake Erie this weekend. Anyone want to come along? Leave Indianapolis area Friday afternoon/early evening. Fish Saturday and Sunday. Get back home to Indianapolis early Sunday approx 8 pm.

Cost as follows:

Tow vehicle gas $65
(600 mi RT, 12 mpg-pulling the boat, @ $2.50/gal)

Hotel $75
(two nights @ $75/night)

Boat gas $25

Cost to you $165
Plus food, drinks, license, gear, etc.

I have an 18' center console boat with a 150hp motor, 15 hp kicker, two electric trolling motors. Not state of the art, but enough to get out to the reefs and back SAFELY. Bring your own gear. I expect to cast for smallmouth but may try trolling crankbaits for walleye.
