About Your Trip

Set out on Lake Erie’s Central Basin for an unforgettable freshwater fishing adventure! Departing from Fairport Harbor, Ohio, Captain Joe will take you to some of the best Walleye and Steelhead fishing grounds just 30 miles east of Cleveland. With years of experience on these waters, Captain Joe knows exactly where to go for a day packed with action.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 31’ Baha Cruiser, a spacious and stable vessel that comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests. Powered by twin 340 HP Pleasure Craft engines, this boat is built for serious fishing. Equipped with Simrad GPS, fishfinder, radar, and two marine radios, you’ll have top-tier navigation and fish-locating technology at your disposal. The boat also features Big Jon electric downriggers, a toilet, a refrigerator, and a multimedia system, ensuring a comfortable ride. A first mate may join the trip, providing extra assistance and expertise.

On this trip, you’ll be trolling for Walleye and Rainbow Trout (Steelhead) using a variety of techniques, including downriggers, dipsy divers, jet divers, weighted lines, wire line, and planer boards to maximize your chances of landing a trophy fish. With up to three lines per angler, you’ll cover plenty of water and increase your odds of hooking a big one!

One of the best parts? Apart from your own catch, you can also keep the captain’s and first mate’s catch—meaning even more fresh fish for you to take home! Fish cleaning is available for just $2.50–$3.00 per fish, so you’ll head home with fillets ready for the pan or fryer.
