Off Topic Elbow

[Nofish]

Hi everyone. Have fished Erie for years from Burwell to Leamington for pics/ walleye but have never gone east of Burwell. Keep hearing about all the bows being caught at "the elbow" and would like to give it a try but have no idea where the elbow is. Can anyone give me coordinates and an idea of where it'd be best to launch from?

Its about 8 miles out of nanticoke or port dover if you look up lake erie depth chart theres a nautical map you can click on an scroll around on it looks like a bent arm and where it bends is the elbow area you can also click on the compass on left bottom side to give you an idea of the distances hope this helpd

Where did that map come from, I'd like to get headings like that so easily. That map is out of the wrong harbour. I would need Hoovers.

Their you go Stomp, just added a mile See Wildfire didn't know you like to go for a cool swim on the way to the fishing grounds.
Great place for a Dip

Heh, all jokes aside though if you're not in the navigation channel going through there you're knee deep in sand.



Otherwise you're forced to wear this badge of shame:

Is there a launch at Turkey Point that would be closer than Port Rowen?

I blasted threw the sandbar once in my old boat
Ooops
That old thing pushed the sand like it was water.. scary

All depends on how high the water level is, just slow down you don’t have to go that far around, one time I walked the boat across, think I found a few Crocks in the sand and a little piece of Straw hat

It's still $20. Has been for many years. I remember when $20 to launch was a rip off but these days it's the norm.

$20 I called them today. They also suggested to me not to come this weekend because it's the Pottahawk pissup and it'll be wild
