Season’s been out since my last trip on Oct 1. Fishing was still hot then (see pics) and it’ll be back in full swing come May. Book your trip today to lock in your spot before they fill up!

Lake Erie is on fire and the fish are are huge. The water temp is a nice balmy 34 degrees, but the fish don't care and put the feed bag on. We are fishing in tight and the fish are scattered all over the water column. Let's go fishing!

Captain Bob went above and beyond trying to put us on some fish. Eventually we were able to pull some in. Not the mother load but a great time just the same! My 9 year old is now hooked (yes pun intended) on walleye fishing. Thanks, BJ, Beth, and Gus

Sean was a super cool guy, really knows his stuff we caught our limit in August when other people were not. He has a very clean boat and nice equipment. Also does a heck of a job cleaning the fish for you. I highly recommend Sean.
