Capt. Clint Zimmerman has over 40 years of experience fishing the lake’s waters. He begins the season in early April, which then goes on through October.

On your day out, you will be concentrating on battling the lake’s superstars – Walleye, Yellow Perch, and Smallmouth Bass. Capt. Clint specializes in trolling, jigging, drift fishing, and other tried-and-true techniques and methods.

You will be fishing aboard a fast and spacious 30’ Haha Cruiser. Her name is ‘Time Out’ and she is rigged with cutting-edge equipment to make a great catch possible. The Time Out comes powered by a pair of Mercruiser engines and has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers. She can also cruise at a top speed of 40 knots and can get you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely.

The Time Out is not only a professional vessel with modern electronics and professional accessories but is also a comfortable boat. She features a restroom, which is a much-needed thing when you spend your day on the water.

Your trip will include the use of rods, reels, tackle, lures, and Walleye cleaning. Just pack food and drinks for the day and let Time Out Charters show you the full extent of what Lake Erie has to offer!
