If you're looking to make the most of Lake Erie's world-class fishery, join Captain Matthew for a 7-hour fishing adventure out of Erie, Pennsylvania.

Your Fishing Experience

Trips run for approximately 7 hours, giving you plenty of time to explore Lake Erie's productive offshore waters. You'll use a combination of trolling, spinning, and jigging to match the bite, with guidance every step of the way from Captain Matthew and his first mate.

The boat accommodates up to 6 anglers, including those with wheelchair accessibility needs, and features a spacious cockpit, toilet, ice box, GPS, fishfinder, radar, live bait well, and downriggers.

What’s Included

Captain Matthew provides everything you’ll need for a productive day on the water:

- Rods, reels, and terminal tackle
- Lures and live bait
- Catch cleaning and filleting
- First mate assistance throughout the trip
- All you need to do is show up ready to fish.

What to Bring

- A valid Pennsylvania fishing license (required for all anglers age 16+)
- Weather-appropriate clothing and layers
- Hat, sunglasses, and non-spray sunscreen
- Food, drinks, and a cooler for your cleaned catch
- Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but no glass containers

From first light to final bite, Captain Matthew is committed to giving you a safe, exciting day on the water. Whether you're chasing your personal best or just looking for a fun day with friends or family, this Lake Erie trip delivers the full experience
