THE CATCH

Walleye, Perch and Bass — The Targets

The charter focuses on three dependable Lake Erie species: walleye, perch and bass, giving anglers a range of tactics from vertical jigging to casting along rock edges depending on what’s producing that day.

THE RANGE

Shallow Rock to Deep Water

Fishing locations vary; trips can include shallow rock fishing and moves into deeper water (around 40 feet or so), with the captain reading conditions and relocating to where the fish are active.

THE PACKAGE

Private Boat, Basic Gear Included

This is a private, full-day charter for up to six fishermen; the basic package supplies rods, reels and bait so participants can show up ready to fish.

What the day feels like

What a Day on This Charter Feels Like

You board a private boat with an experienced captain and spend seven hours chasing whatever bite is hot — drifting and casting over shallow rock structure in the morning, then moving out to deeper marks as the day and conditions dictate. The aim is simple: find fish, present bait, and let the captain’s local knowledge set the pace while you fish.
