About Your Trip

Spend a day exploring the productive waters of Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay with Captain Levi on a multi-species fishing adventure!

Smallmouth Bass are the star of the show on these trips, and Lake Erie is an incredible place to tangle with these hard-fighting fish. Captain Levi will work productive areas around Erie in search of quality Smallmouth while keeping your options open for whatever else is biting.

Depending on the season and conditions, Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Freshwater Drum, and other local gamefish can all join the mix. That variety gives Captain Levi the flexibility to adjust throughout the day and take advantage of the best opportunities available.

You'll primarily use light tackle while mixing in techniques like jigging and bottom fishing depending on the species, depth, and conditions. Captain Levi has spent years developing his skills through both recreational and tournament fishing and is happy to work with everyone from experienced bass anglers to first-timers.

You'll fish aboard a 21' Triton bass boat powered by a 250 HP Mercury. The boat accommodates up to 3 guests and is outfitted with GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, wireless trolling motor, and an ice box.

Rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included, so all you need to do is show up ready to fish. Kids are welcome aboard, making this a great option for families as well.

Bring food and drinks in a small cooler along with sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and weather-appropriate clothing. Everyone fishing will also need a valid Pennsylvania fishing license and the appropriate Lake Erie Permit.

Choose the amount of time you want to spend on the water and get ready to see what bites. With Smallmouth Bass leading the way and plenty of other species in the mix, there's always something worth chasing around Erie!

Independent Guide

Captain Levi has been fishing from a young age and brings years of tournament and recreational experience to every trip. He began competing in bass tournaments with the Junior Elite Bassers in 2013 before moving into team-series tournaments alongside his dad, and he continues to fish competitively today.

While competition helped sharpen his skills, Levi found an even bigger passion in taking other people fishing and sharing the experience with them. Today, he welcomes anglers of all skill levels aboard to experience the outstanding fisheries surrounding Erie, Pennsylvania.

Whether you're chasing Lake Erie's famous Smallmouth Bass, searching for Walleye, or simply seeing what else is biting, Captain Levi brings the local experience and enthusiasm to help make your day on the water one to remember!
