Do Lake Erie walleye charters typically charge you to clean fish? If yes how much?

I don't think that many Lake Erie charters clean fish. They may be able to recommend a fish cleaning service.

From what I've been told it's illegal to clean them while still on the boat, it has to do with the DNR and fish limit... I've never done it so don't know the legality once you reach the shore...

It is on shore and I have only been once and fish cleaning was included for free. It is always included when I go ocean fishing. We are going soon and the charter wants $3 per fish. That is fine if it is a 8# walleye, not fine for a 2# walleye or any perch.

3 dollars a fish?!, for that it better be left on the bone,scaled, and gutted. They have do it yourself fish cleaning stations on shore and it only takes a couple minutes at most to filet them yourself.

I was at Geneva today and they said they get $3.50 per fish. With no public fish cleaning station, I improvised

Don - I was talking to a charter captain Thursday and he said $3 a fish is the going price to clean fish at the harbors... I ask him little perch and all, he said yep...
