Make an adventure out of your next trip to Oak Harbor and go fishing with Parker Guide Service, a premium sportfishing charter and lodging since 1973.

Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Yellow Perch, and more could be biting, depending on the season. For these species, you’re likely to drift using light tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.

You’ll find yourself aboard a 30’ Downeast with space for 6 passengers. It has a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Capt. Capt Jeff will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
