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.

Captain Paul and mate Ryan were excellent, both very knowledgeble and patient. There was two of us fishing for two days. We caught our limit of Walleyes both days, as well as a 15lb Lake Trout and a few large Sheephead.
Paul was a great captain. enjoyed every minute. Can’t wait to go Salmon fishing.
We all caught our limit of walleye. Captain Paul is wonderful. We'll be back for another trip soon!
Had a wonderful sun shining day on Lake Erie with Captain Paul and his first mate . We had a group of 4 and left the day with large Steelhead and Walleye ! Highly recommend and will book again.
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!
