Help! Looking for lake in Midwest that has boat rentals for fishing.

Hello Everyone,

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm taking my 10 year old son fishing for
the first time. Unfortunately, I just found out that the lake I was
planning to take him to does not have a boat rental facility. They used to
but it closed. So I'm back to the planning stage. I'm looking for a good
bass lake in central or northern Ohio (preferred), northern Indiana,
southern Michigan, or western Penn. The only other requirement is the
availability of a shore based boat rental facility. Even a row boat will
do.

Now I know you good folks will not reveal that hidden secret of yours where
the bass fight all day for the priviledge of eating your bait. I'm OK with
that. Afterall, some secrets are meant to stay that way. So I'm good to go
with your second or third favorite, or whatever you choose to reveal to me.
My son and I will appreciate any and all help.

Thanks,
Tom

If you guys wanna drive out to Eastern PA the boatride's on me Tom!

I suggest you take Warren up on that Tom. He's a gifted angler and no doubt
can teach you much in a day.

Warren, an opportunity to spend time with a master would be treasured by
both of us for years to come. Thank you for the very generous offer.
However, I'm sad to say that since its a short weekend, I'm trying to stay
within 2 hours or so of home. My goal all along was to spend "interactive"
time with my son and that means keeping driving to a minimum. I will keep
you in mind should an opportunity come up for a longer weekend.

Thank you and good bass'n,
Tom

Man I don't know about renting a boat, but I fished borrow ponds and
municipal ponds along with several rivers all over north central Ohio and
caught lots of fish from the bank.

Another great opportunity with your kid might be to simply go out on Erie
with someone Like Cap'n Bo at Magic Moments charters for a half day perch
charter. Cap'n Bo and Cap'n Linda will go out of their way to make sure
little guys get to catch fish. Yes, I have gone out with them, and we had a
rgeta time. My son caught many fish on his own, and got to reel in many
many more hooked by Cap'n Linda.

If you are stuck on bass you might ask Cap'n Bo if he does smallmouth trips
too.

They are a great team, and my uncle's fishing club takes trips out with them
all the time.
