World-class walleye, steelhead and yellow perch
Lake Erie is a world-class walleye fishery and the charter specifically targets walleye while also fishing for steelhead and yellow perch — a focused trip for anglers after hard-fighting freshwater species.
From downtown Cleveland into open water
Departing from downtown Cleveland, the short transit to productive Lake Erie water puts shoreline skyline and open-lake fishing in immediate contrast — city launch, lake-focused day.

Details to review before reserving
Purchase an Ohio fishing license if you are 16 or older. Bring food and non-glass drinks (alcohol is permitted; excessive consumption may shorten the trip). Wear soft-soled shoes (no work boots), sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and, preferably, pants to guard against biting flies or midge hatches.
Bring a medium cooler with ice if you want fillets cleaned and kept, or a large cooler if you plan to take fish elsewhere for cleaning; coolers may be left in your vehicle during the trip.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
