Kayak Fishing Lake Erie

[IAatHeart]

I just got myself a kayak last week and have taken it out a few times in the small boat harbor. I'm wanting to get out for some walleye now that the season is open. Just wanting to get some advice on places to try that I can fish safely from a kayak on the lake.

Subscribed to see the replies, I got one last year too and am looking forward to bass fishing around the harbor

Try off hoaks restaurant in Hamburg.....big time night bite should be starting soon

....I have seen a few guys walking out in waders, another in a float tube over the years.

Lake erie is a dangerous lake, I would stay in the harbors unless you bought a sea kayak. . One guy fishing in a canoe was blown across the lake to canada and it took him 3 months to walk back to silver creek to find his belonging s sold as he was assumed dead.. granted it was 18 40s but storms on the lake can be deadly..

When fishing at Hoaks do you just park at the restaurant or is there a public parking area? I've heard of fishing that area but have only lived in this area for a year now and never made it out there last year.

Looks like you should have no problems parking closer to the clock tower in the combined restaurant/observation area parking lot. Probably hard to find a spot on a Fri or Sat night due to restaurant traffic. I will take a closer look today on my way home from work but it looks to me as you can just unload your kayak near the clock tower and walk down a short path to the right of the tower and drop right in.

I appreciate the help! I'll have to check it out and just let me know what you see if you get a chance to check it out for me!

Just stopped to look...there is a dozer parked in this somewhat of a walk way down to the water....you may need to traverse a few boulders... but depending on how heavy the kayak is you should be OK.
