I've always loved fishing Lake Erie! My Grandfather first took me fishing on the lake when I was around 14, and ever since then I've been hooked.

I've worked for several different charter captains in the area over the years, and about 10 years ago opened my own charter business so I could help customers enjoy walleye & perch fishing on the lake as much as I do! We supply all fishing gear and bait. Just bring whatever you want to eat and drink
