About Your Trip

This trip is great for those with young children or large families that might not have a full day to spend on the water. Or for ppl that don’t want to be on a boat all day. We can target either perch or walleye on this trip. Ask your captain on what is biting best this time of year. In the spring summer and late fall this is typically a walleye trip. In late summer and early fall usually the perch bite is best! It’s not uncommon to still get limits certain times of years on this trip. We provide all the bait and tackle you will need. We provide water and light snacks for everyone onboard. Feel free to pack a small cooler with refreshments. Make sure everyone has their Ohio fishing license. Let’s go get em!

Book your next trip with us and find out what the fishing in Lake Erie is all about. Having 25 years of experience fishing in this area, Captain Dustin can tell you all about the greatest Walleye fishery in the world! We are one of the only charters on the water that guarantee you Walleye or Yellow Perch every trip depending on the time of year! Limits are typical in this incredible fishery.

Year-round you can target Walleye and let us tell you they don’t call it the Walleye Capital of the world for nothing! The Yellow Perch fishing in the fall is world-class. Erie has world-class smallmouth bass fishing but it’s somewhat seasonal so inquire best times to target.

Our tips are child-friendly! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, dont worry we have two aboard for children under 90 pounds! If you need more than two please ask!

Your trip begins aboard a 28’ Baha Cruisers walkaround with space for 6 adults. It has all-new Garmin electronics and Garmin autopilot to do the heavy lifting keeping you on the fish while you are busy reeling them in! Capt. Dustin has rods and reels for you, along with lures everything you need to catch fish. You just need to bring a good attitude and willingness to learn. This is a very high-level tournament-style fishing! You can get right in there and set lines with us or just do the fun stuff and reel them in once we are hooked up!

Before coming aboard, be sure to have local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Waters will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Captain Dustin!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
