If fishing for Walleye on Lake Erie is what you're planning to do this summer, look no further than D.D. Rod Father Sportfishing. Its owner and operator, Captain Dan Huska, is one of the most enthusiastic charter captains you'll ever meet.

He's fully licensed and insured, with a boat that's equipped with all the necessary gear to make any fishing trip safe and enjoyable. High-tech electronics along with top-notch terminal equipment make for a trip that's not only fun but educational as well.

Speaking of which, his boat is a 30' Tiara vessel that's powered by a twin 260 HP Mercruiser engines. It's the perfect boat for navigating the bountiful waters of Lake Erie, and she's fast enough to have you fishing in no time.

And what a time it is to be fishing on Lake Erie! Also known as the 'Walleye capital of the world,' rest assured that it lives up to this reputation year after year. The Walleye boom is often the talk of the town and there is no end in sight.

Fishing is the primary target, but Lake Erie has many other things to offer. While you're fishing, the sights and sounds of the lake are incredible. A beautiful sunrise will kickstart your day. Mix in some wildlife, the blue water, and some picturesque skylines, and you're left with an unforgettable experience. Of course, don't forget the sight of that big fish in the net and the sound it makes while flopping around in the back of the boat.

Capt. Dan will provide you with all the fishing gear you'll need, and anything you catch will be cleaned and bagged after the trip. The only thing you'll need to bring is a Pennsylvania fishing license with the Lake Erie combo stamp. For your own unforgettable Walleye experience, let the Rod Father show you how to get it done!

Morning walleye trip for 3 people on July 30, 20252 adults1 child

From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Booking was simple, and the communication leading up to the trip was excellent. Captain Dan checked in several times beforehand to provide helpful information and answer any questions. ✅ The location was very easy to find and accessible. During the trip, Captain Dan and Lucas were incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were well taken care of. My husband, 8 year old son, and I all hit our limit pretty quickly, which made for an exciting and memorable day on the water and still left time for more activities that day! 🎣 Now that we’re done reeling, it’s time for grilling! 😋 Once we got back to the dock, Captain Dan and Lucas cleaned and packed our fish for us to take home! They took care of all the hard work! 💪🏻 Highly recommended! 💯

Cap Dan and his mate Pete were great. Communicated well throughout the charter process. Walked me through the license purchase and parking instructions he sent even had his photos. Put us on fish within seconds and was not any down time. Great experience.

We had a great time with Captain Dan Huska. He is a very knowledgeable fisherman and got us on fish right away. When we got to the area Dan and Lucas was very good at setting up all the rods and helping with the fish. I would recommend them to anyone.
