About Your Trip

If you've been looking for a top-tier sportfishing trip here on Lake Erie, you're in the right place! Many people don't know that the Great Lakes are home to some of the biggest, baddest freshwater sportfish in the USA, and there's no better way to hook some up than a trip with Captain Jim.

On this trip, you'll chase big Steelhead on trolling gear. Steelhead are really a lake-run Rainbow Trout, but due to their
diet of baitfish (rather than bugs), they get much larger and fiestier than their river-living cousins.

You'll hunt these fish using a variety of baits and lures on trolling gear. Steelhead love whacking troll lines, and when one of these fish takes the hook, expect a big fight. With strong runs and big jumps, Steelhead are the hardest-fighting fish in the Great Lakes.

Captain Jim runs his trips aboard his 30' Cherokee sportfisher, a beautiful vessel that's ideal for families or groups of up to six. She's fast, with twin Chevrolet Crusader engines, and comfortable, with seating and an enclosed cabin area. She also has a nice bathroom, plus all the electronics and gear you could want!

Your captain will come prepared with everything you need for an awesome trip. Just bring your fishing licenses, proper clothing, and a cooler for your keepers!
