Niagara River Guide Service
Whether you want to experience fishing Lake Erie for the first time, or you’re a seasoned pro of these waters, Niagara River Guide Service has the trip for you! The crew will show you just how hot the action can get, on this Northern lake.
They invite you to join them for a freshwater adventure on board a 20’ Alumacraft. She can hold 3 anglers and the captain, fishing at the same time without crossing rods. The engine is a 200 HP outboard that allows the boat to cruise at a maximum speed of 40 knots.
Despite her impressive speed, you won’t even need to test it – the action starts 10-15 minutes after you leave the port. You’ll go after Smallmouth Bass and Walleye on Lake Erie. These fighters will give your fishing muscles a workout and your skills a test. The onboard wireless trolling motor helps you sneak up on them and keep you steady for that perfect cast.
Kids of all ages are more than welcome with Niagara River Guide Service, the captain will provide you with all sizes of life jackets. He and the other guides have been fishing the area for 35 years and know all the best fish holes around.
All you need before you cast off on an exciting fishing excursion is a valid fishing license which you can get in almost any local tackle shop. The captain will gladly help you with buying one – just ask him for details.
Remember to pack sunglasses, adequate clothing, and a waterproof camera – you don’t want to miss out on documenting your trophy catch!
Treat your family or friends to an outdoors experience you’ll fondly remember for years to come. Book a trip with Niagara River Guide Service today and start making memories!

Half Day Trip
Personal Bests All Around!
My husband and I had the best time on Lake Erie with Captain Mike. The communication beforehand was excellent and we arrived at the lake excited to get started. Neither my husband nor I had caught small mouth bass or drum, so it was easy to achieve personal bests! We both pulled in large drum over and over again and were lucky to get the bait past the drum to snag a couple small mouth bass. We had a great time chatting with Mike and learning more about the fishing in the area. I joked with my husband that it was a true “fishing process” experience since all I had to worry about was reeling in the fish. Captain Mike made sure we got pictures with the fish and sent those to us at the end of the trip. This will be a fishing experience we will talk about for years to come! Thanks again Captain Mike! P.S. Gabriel’s Gate was delicious!

Fantastic Experience! Fantastic Fishing!
Captain Mike was knowledgeable, accommodating, and worked hard to make the trip a success in all ways. I brought my elderly father-in-law and we had a memorable experience. We even doubled on the last run of the day, with a big King and a big Brown! The boat was efficient, fully functional, clean, and very comfortable. We had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Capt. Mike.

Great Fishing Trip!
We really enjoyed the Captain we got set up with! Mark was very knowledgeable about the lake and wildlife in the area. I brought my girlfriends 10 year old son out who loves to fish, Mark made sure he had a great time! He was able to answer any questions he had from birds to fish. Marks personality was great, it made the trip a complete blast from start to finish! He sure can make 7 hours go by quick! Next time in the area we will most definitely be going back out!

First time on a fishing charter
We had a great afternoon with Captain Paul on our fishing charter. It was the first time my son and I fished on a lake (we’d only fished in ponds while camping) and we weren't sure what to expect. Paul was patient, very knowledgeable, and fun. We expect to do it again soon.
