About Your Trip

Climb aboard Captain Erik’s 34’ King Cat for a full-day Walleye or Perch trip on Lake Erie! These 8-hour trips (dock to dock or until you hit your limit) are perfect for groups of up to four anglers ready to reel in some of the lake’s most sought-after fish.

Whether you prefer jigging, light tackle, or trolling, Captain Erik will have you dialed in and on the fish. All bait and gear are included—just bring your cooler and your crew. If the trip takes you more than 12 miles one way, a fuel surcharge may apply, but Captain Erik will walk you through that based on your game plan.

You’ll fish from a spacious 34’ Baha Cruisers catamaran loaded with comforts: a private bathroom, shaded hardtop, comfortable seating, and a large cooler for your catch. It’s kid-friendly, music-friendly (Bluetooth welcome), and built to handle the lake with ease.

Fish cleaning is available for an extra fee, and you’re welcome to bring snacks and drinks (beer’s fine—just skip the glass). Book your trip today and get ready for a solid day chasing Walleye or Perch on the big water!

About Your Guide

Erik B.

Independent Guide

Hey I’m Captain Erik. I am a very avid outdoorsman who has been fishing since I could cast a line! I purchased my first boat when I was 14 years old and that’s when the addiction really started. From there on out it was constantly upgrading boats and gear. I have always worked in the agriculture industry and by the time we were done with field work the local lakes and ponds around my home were pretty worked over every year. So in 2010 I started fishing Lake Erie more. After my first year I upgraded the boat to a bigger one. Then the year after that I upgraded again. I wasn’t guiding then but my appetite for fishing Lake Erie quickly outgrew the group of friends I took out fishing and I needed something more. So I went and earned my USCG master captains license and started to guide folks on Lake Erie. This was great because I could fish as much as I wanted.

I started guiding in a 27’ boat then 2 years later upgraded to a 30’ boat then 5 years after that I upgraded to our current 34’ king cat. After fishing it for a year I felt that it was the perfect platform for charter fishing Lake Erie that I have found currently. So now that leads us to here . I’ve been guiding on Erie since 2013 and it’s truly mine and our teams passion to provide each customer who fishes with us the best experience on Lake Erie possible. Whether it is casting, drifting , jigging or trolling me and the team are looking forward to fishing with you and making your next experience on Lake Erie the best yet! We provide a safe fishing experience with up to date marine electronics and fishing gear.

I want to make each individual groups experience on Lake Erie exactly what they want. Whether it’s hands off , learning or a seasoned fisherman. I want to make sure all their needs are met. So on the vibe answers some are both, because I strive to make “ their day “ as close to perfect for them as I can.
