WHY PRIMETIME ICE FISHING CHARTERS?

        Prime Time Ice Charters was carefully designed to offer you the very best ice fishing experience for walleyes that Lake Erie can provide.
        Walleyes are usually the most active in the couple of daylight hours preceding dusk and after dawn. This charter service takes advantage of this behavior and is timed to give you multiple chances at walleye during these "Prime Times".
         Another advantage is that traveling in the "wee" hours to make an early plane ride (along with dozens of other fishermen) is not necessary--a real plus for those driving a long distance.
         Instead, you fly over after lunch, leaving from Port Clinton or from Sandusky, are picked up at PutinBay Airport, then taken to your lodging where you can check-in and prepare for the afternoon trip out. I will make the reservations for you, but the plane fare is not included in the charter rates.
         Another option now available to reach Put-in-Bay are air boats which are enclosed and heated for the short trip across the South Passage.
         I'll take you to a warm, fully equipped ice shanty (electronic fish locator, rod lures, gaff and minnows), give you some instructions on how the fish like the bait worked, then assist you in your quest for a limit of walleyes--right to sunset.
         The electronic fish finder will alert you to when to pay attention--then it's like playing a video game as you go one-on-one against a walleye!
         After sunset, I will get you back to your lodging, take care of cleaning and packaging your catch and advise you of your options for supper.

Intoxication while on the ice will result in the immediate termination of your charter and forfeiture of your payment.

I/We, the undersigned, have read and accept the above terms and conditions of this charter.
