Jerry Parker5.0VerifiedNewAll and all it was a good trip.
Morning walleye trip for 2 people on September 24, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Dan and deck mate Jeff really made it a good trip for my father and I. We booked a 3 day trip first to day out on the lake by 7 limited out on walleye and back in by 11. They crew made it a great experience and took care of everything we could have asked for. I appreciate the time out. The third day had to be canceled due to weather on the lake making it just to rough to go out. 4-6 foot waves just wasn't worth the risk. Still going home with nearly 40 lbs of walleye fillets to take home.

I've been a fisherman all of my life. Starting with the Zebco bait casting reel as a toddler, I graduated to bigger and better tools and techniques as I grew older. Trout fishing was my main hobby growing up. But as a young man, I always had my eye on charter fishing and I always knew that someday I would be a charter captain on the Lake Erie. After fishing with my dad in his small boat for many years on the local lakes and rivers, I bought my first boat in 2008 and I started getting a taste of the Lake Erie experience. My second boat didn't come long after that. I fished the big pond every chance that I got. I've been fishing Lake Erie for over 18 years now. I got my credentials in order and I obtained my six-pack charter license in 2015. I'm in my 12th year as a charter captain and I can compete with the best of the longer tenured captains. They say that '10% of the fisherman catch 90% of all the fish'. I put myself in that category. The proof is in the pudding.
