Chasing Dreams Sportfishing in Lakeside Marblehead, Ohio: Captain Experiences

About Your Guide

Captain Ryan has been fishing since he was too young to remember. As he grew up, he fished every conceivable body of water he could reach on a bicycle. As he got older, he was able to spend more and more time on Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay, and he dreamed of taking people fishing for a living one day. That dream was interrupted by a 20-year career in information technology, starting a family, and building a future. In the summer of 2019, Captain Ryan lost his mother to cancer. In the aftermath of that experience, he knew he had to make a change in his professional life. Shortly thereafter, he refocused on his passions and his second career as a charter captain was born. Today, Captain Ryan is lucky to share his love of fishing with people of all ages and skill levels.
