About Your Trip

Experience Lake Erie's legendary Walleye fishery with Captain Geoff and his crew on a premium Great Lakes trolling adventure!

With nearly 30 years of experience on Lake Erie and as many as 100–200 days spent on the water each year, Captain Geoff brings a systematic, data-driven approach to finding fish. You'll spend the trip trolling productive Lake Erie waters while the crew uses current conditions, electronics, water temperature, speed, depth, and presentation to dial in
the day's Walleye bite.

Your experience can be as relaxed or hands-on as you'd like. Sit back and enjoy the lake until a rod fires, or jump in with the crew to learn how to choose baits, set lines, run the trolling spread, and net fish.

The 4–5 hour Half-Day trip gives you a focused window to chase Lake Erie Walleye while still packing plenty of fishing into a shorter outing. It's a great option for families, first-timers, or anglers with limited time.

The 8–9 hour Full-Day trip gives Captain Geoff more time to cover water, adjust presentations, and respond to changes in the bite throughout the day. If you're looking for a complete day of Lake Erie Walleye fishing, this option provides plenty of time to settle into the program.

The 10–12 hour Extended Full-Day trip maximizes your time on Lake Erie. The longer timeframe gives the crew the greatest flexibility to search for productive water, make adjustments as conditions change, and stay with the bite throughout the day.

You'll fish aboard a 35'6" Tiara 3100 Limited Edition powered by twin Crusader 8.1L MPI engines. This serious Great Lakes fishing platform features Raymarine electronics, FishHawk X4D trolling data, Cannon Optimum downriggers, Big Jon planer reels, an extensive rod-holder setup, and plenty of room to fish.

The boat's hardtop provides protection from the elements, while the cabin includes a bathroom, refrigerator, microwave, and stove for additional comfort during longer trips.

Bring your Ontario fishing license, food and drinks, non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, soft-soled shoes, and clothing appropriate for changing Great Lakes weather. Fish cleaning is available back at the dock, so bring a cooler for your catch!

About Your Guide

Geoff H.

Independent Guide
Captain Geoff has spent nearly 30 years fishing Lake Erie, beginning as a kid learning to troll for Walleye and Steelhead alongside his father. Today, he spends as many as 100–200 days a year on the water and brings both decades of experience and an engineer's attention to detail to every trip.

That engineering background has helped shape Geoff's systematic, data-driven approach to Great Lakes fishing. From interpreting changing conditions and water temperatures to dialing in trolling speeds, depths, and
presentations, he enjoys figuring out the puzzle and teaching interested anglers how the entire program comes together.

Fishing is also a family affair for Geoff. His sons, Owen and Bryce, have been working the back of the boat since they were old enough to hold a fishing rod and are part of a crew that takes pride in creating a professional but approachable experience on the water.

Guests can make the day as relaxed or hands-on as they'd like. Kick back and grab a rod when a fish hits, or jump into the action by helping select baits, set lines, and net fish while learning from the crew.

You'll fish aboard Geoff's 35'6" Tiara 3100 Limited Edition, a heavily customized Great Lakes fishing platform loaded with modern electronics, trolling equipment, and the amenities to keep your group comfortable throughout a long day.

Whether it's your first time fishing Lake Erie or you've spent years chasing Great Lakes fish, Captain Geoff and his crew are ready to share their experience and give you a day on the water to remember.
