Now is the perfect time to have an awesome fishing adventure with Ditch Chicken Charters and Captain Paul Snyder and his First Mate Ryan Snyder. This father and son dynamic duo will make sure you have a great time out with them, catch lots of lake fish, and make some unforgettable memories.
Hop on board their 23’ Parker walkaround boat. This compact boat can give you and 4 fishing friends the opportunity to go trolling on Lake Erie. Twelve lines can be in the water at once, giving you the maximum opportunity to catch plenty of fish. There is also a 9.8. HP four-stroke trolling motor to help give you that extra edge.
This beautifully maintained boat has a 225 HP Yamaha engine. She boasts full navigational and safety equipment. Her fishfinder, and the captain’s extensive knowledge of the area, will have you on top of the fish all day.
On the menu are Walleye, Steelhead, and Lake Trout predominantly. Please note, Lake Trout fishing is from April to May. You can also catch Coho and Chinook Salmon, and Yellow Perch. After the trip, the captain is happy to fillet your haul for you. Don’t forget your own cooler with ice to take your fish home in.
All Okuma rods and reels are included. These top quality rods won’t let you down when you’re reeling in your dream catch. You are encouraged to bring a small cooler of your own food and drinks in – you’ll need to keep your energy up.
Children over 8 years old are welcome on board – life vests are available to them. They are sure to have some awesome stories to tell their friends back at school!
You will need to purchase a Pennsylvania fishing license and Lake Erie permit before the day. If going after Lake Trout and Steelhead you will need to purchase an additional Trout and combo permit.
There is no better time to fish Lake Erie. Join Capt. Paul for an amazing day out!

6 Hour Afternoon Trip (5 PERSONS)
We went out with Captain Paul for a fishing trip to catch walleye! We had 3 kids with us ranging from 8-13. Captain Paul was very attentive and helpful. We caught 30 fish and had a wonderful time. Two people with us did get sea sick, but we laugh about it now! Would recommend this fishing charter. 10 out of 10!

Our captain did a great job helping us catch our limit is just a few hours. We had a great 1st experience. We never fished on a body of water so big and the captain helped us through the whole process! Def recommend Ditch Chicken.
