About Your Trip

f filling the cooler with one of the best-eating fish in freshwater sounds like your kind of day, this Lake Erie adventure is for you. Every spring and early summer, Captain Michael relocates one of his vessels to Port Clinton, Ohio, placing anglers in the heart of one of the most productive walleye fisheries in the world.

Known as the "Walleye Capital of the World," western Lake Erie offers incredible action during the annual migration. It's not uncommon to experience doubles, triples, and even quadruple hookups as schools of hungry fish move through the area. When conditions are right, anglers can enjoy fast-paced fishing and leave with plenty of fresh fillets for the dinner table.

These 7-hour trips focus primarily on trolling, the most effective method for consistently targeting Lake Erie's famous walleye. Captain Michael and his crew will handle the details while helping anglers learn as much about the fishery as they'd like. Whether you're an experienced angler or introducing your family to Great Lakes fishing, this trip is designed to be fun, productive, and approachable for all skill levels.

Fishing takes place aboard a spacious Tiara sportfishing boat equipped with modern electronics, radar, fish-finding technology, comfortable seating, and an onboard restroom. Rods, reels, tackle, bait, and lures are all included, and a first mate is onboard to help ensure everything runs smoothly throughout the day.

Families are welcome, and children are encouraged to join in on the fun. Just bring your Ohio fishing license, sunglasses, sunscreen, drinks, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing. With incredible numbers of fish, beautiful Great Lakes scenery, and a crew dedicated to helping you succeed, it's easy to see why anglers return to Lake Erie year after year.

Independent Guide

Captain Michael has spent more than 15 years fishing the waters of Lake Ontario and previously honed his skills on Lake Champlain before turning his passion into a full-time career. What started as a love for fishing evolved into a commitment to helping others experience the incredible fisheries of the Great Lakes.

Whether you're a first-time angler looking to catch your first salmon or walleye, or a seasoned fisherman chasing a trophy fish, Captain Michael's goal is the same: create lasting memories and put smiles on faces. He believes every trip should be tailored to the anglers onboard, which is why guests can choose their level of involvement. Want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride? Perfect. Want to help set lines, fight fish, and learn the finer points of Great Lakes trolling? He's happy to teach every step of the process.

Fishing takes place aboard spacious Tiara sportfishing vessels designed specifically for big-water fishing. Equipped with premium electronics, quality tackle, enclosed cabins, and all the comforts needed for a productive day on the lake, these boats provide an outstanding platform for anglers of all ages and experience levels.

From spring brown trout and summer king salmon on Lake Ontario to the famous walleye fisheries of Lake Erie, Captain Michael works hard to make every day on the water one to remember.
