Eriegardless Sportfishing specializes in trolling for Walleye and anchoring for Yellow Perch. Launching out of Lakeside Marblehead, this husband-and-wife team will take you exploring the Western Basin of Lake Erie, where you will be able to sample Walleye and Yellow Perch.

You will spend your day aboard a 34' Baha Cruiser, powered by twin Mercury engines. She is a seaworthy vessel with plenty of space for up to 6 anglers. The boat features a full private head and a hardtop to provide a comfortable and safe trip. She is outfitted with the latest navigational and fishfinding electronics, such as a 3 Garmin 10" graphs, a Garmin radar, a Garmin autopilot, and 2 VHF ship-to-shore radios.

With Eriegardless Sportfishing, you will be able to try your hand at trolling and jigging, targeting the best species that Lake Erie has to offer. Trips range from 6 to 10 hours to meet any angler's schedule and fishing needs. All tackle and gear are easy to handle for both kids and adults. The crew works with 18 line counter setups that have been calibrated and uses Dipsy divers, Michigan Stinger and Yeck spoons, and TruTrip divers. Crankbaits are Bandits, Reef Runners, Yozuri, and Bay Rats.

Everything needed for a productive day will be provided besides any drinks and snacks that you prefer (please, don't bring hard liquor or glass bottled). You will also need to bring a valid Ohio fishing license and get in touch with your captain to check if you'll be fishing the Canadian waters.

This was the best charter we have had to date. The Captain and 1st mate were top notch. They were excellent with the kids and we had no “snags.” We will be using this boat again next year.

AM Walleye Fishing Trip 6/28/20
5-6 Person Charter - AM on June 28, 20206 adults

Had the Lake Erie walleye fishing experience of a lifetime with Eriegardless Sportfishing! Captain Kelly put us on the bite right out of the gate, and kept us on it the entire day! We limited out on keeper fish (36) total ranging from 15" to 24" and tossed back another 30 that were just under legal size but should be ready for the 2021 walleye fishing season. If you've been thinking about a Lake Erie walleye fishing trip now's the time to contact Captain Kelly at Eriegardless Sportfishing!

Half Day trip with Captain Kelly & Stacy of Eriegardless
1-4 Person Charter - AM on September 5, 20204 adults1 child

My wife and I, along with our 3 kids, booked with Kelly and Stacy for a 1/2 day charter. From even before our day, Captain Kelly was communicative and helpful as we prepared for our trip. During our trip Kelly and Stacy were professional and accommodating and worked really hard to provide us a great experience. The boat was comfortable and my family had a great time. The only downside was that we didn’t catch our allowance, but we did catch some great fish! Overall an A+ experience! Curt and Melissa Bly

Great day for fishing! Was worried about the late day start but still managed to get 2 shy of our limit in only 3 hours! Captain and First Mate were friendly and were very efficient in getting us to a good spot. All in all a perfect day for all of us
