About Your Trip
Get ready for an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Erik on Lake Erie—home to some of the best freshwater fishing in the world! Whether you’re after Walleye or Perch, this full-day charter is built for anglers of all skill levels looking to experience the thrill of reeling in big fish on one of America’s Great Lakes.
You’ll be fishing aboard Captain Erik’s 34’ Baha Cruisers King Cat, a large, stable, and comfortable fishing
machine that’s perfectly suited for the open waters of Lake Erie. With dual 8.1L Big Block V8s under the hood, this boat gets you to the fishing grounds quickly and comfortably, cutting down on travel time and maximizing your time with a rod in hand. There’s a fully enclosed private restroom on board, making it a great option for families, mixed groups, or anyone who wants a little extra comfort on the water.
Captain Erik runs a fully equipped operation, using top-of-the-line Shimano Talora rods and Okuma Coldwater reels, with every lure imaginable at your disposal. You’ll be backed up by state-of-the-art Garmin electronics, autopilot systems, Cisco rod holders, and electric planer board reels, ensuring you’re fishing efficiently and effectively all day long. And for peace of mind, the boat carries all required safety equipment, including a life raft.
Depending on the time of year and your group’s preferences, you’ll either be chasing Lake Erie’s world-famous Walleye, known for their hard fights and delicious fillets, or jumbo Yellow Perch, which are perfect for family fishing fun and a fish fry back at home. Captain Erik adjusts tactics based on conditions and what’s biting—expect a mix of trolling, drifting, and bottom fishing depending on the species you're targeting.
This 8-hour trip is offered for up to 6 passengers, and it runs dock to dock or until you hit your limit—whichever comes first. Live bait is included, and all tackle, rods, and reels are provided, so all you need to bring is your favorite snacks and drinks (beer is welcome—just no glass, please).
Whether you’re a first-timer looking to catch your first Walleye or a seasoned angler chasing a new personal best, Captain Erik is ready to show you an incredible day on Lake Erie. He’s great with kids, too, so don’t hesitate to bring the family along!
