Hello and thanks for stopping by! I’ve been a Captain for nearly 10 years now, but my love for fishing started way back when I was just a kid growing up on Lake Erie. My dad and our neighbors would take me out, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I spent five years as a first mate before a buddy of mine said, “You like being out here more than I do—you should get your Captain’s license!” That was all the encouragement I needed, and here I am today.

I’m also a proud U.S. Army veteran, and it’s an honor to bring that same dedication and discipline to every trip we take. Most days, we’re trolling for Walleye, but it’s really up to you—whether you want to troll, cast, or drift, we’ll tailor the experience to your preference.

Everyone over 16 needs a valid Ohio fishing license, but don’t worry about gear—I provide all the rods, bait, and tackle. Be sure to pack some rain gear just in case, along with any snacks and drinks you'd like for the day....
