Are you looking to reel in some of Lake Erie’s finest species while enjoying truly stunning scenery? Seeing Red Charters is based in Port Clinton, OH, and departs from various locations, including from Herl’s Habor in summer and fall. This company specializes in creating fishing experiences for friends and families that will last a lifetime!

With licensed Captain Jeffrey ‘JJ’ Goehring at the helm, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to explore the waters of this fine freshwater fishery, which is swimming with Walleye, Perch, and Smalleye Bass. Capt. JJ was raised in a fishing family—his Granddad and Dad taught him how to reel in some awesome catches at a young age, so he has plenty of knowledge and experience under his belt.

You’ll be traveling to find Lake Erie’s hottest bite on a 30’ Sportcraft boat. She can comfortably accommodate up to 6 anglers, as well as your captain and his trusty first mate. She’s decked out with all the necessary safety and navigational equipment, as well as a toilet, so you’ll be traveling in comfort.

Whether you’re an experienced angler who wants to troll for a personal best or are looking to make some long-lasting family memories, Capt. JJ can’t wait to have you aboard. Children, of course, are welcome. You’ll be provided with top-quality Saint Croix rods and reels, as well as live bait to tempt your targeted species. All you need to purchase is your fishing license!
                                                                                                                      
Looking for somewhere to stay before or after you reel in your dream catch? Talk to Capt. JJ, as he has lodging available for his guests. Private, comfortable, and located only 2 miles away from his vessel, what more could you need?

Seeing Red Charters will take you on an adventure that is made up of a truly winning combination - star species, a top fishery, and jaw-dropping scenery. Come aboard and make some incredible memories!

Half day trip with Captain J.J.

VERIFIED

Excellent all the way around. Grandpa, son, and grandson went. Everyone had a blast. Great experience for our nine year old. We had to troll to catch walleye because they have been feeding on the mayfly hatch for the last few weeks. It was great to learn how to troll and manage many lines in the water at the same time. If we book a trip next year we will try to avoid mayfly season as my son and I both would prefer casting. J.J knows what he is doing, has a top notch boat, and equipment at the ready. We hit our limit in three hours. I have nothing bad to say. Great afternoon on the Lake. Thanks.

We decided on an impromptu fishing charter after losing a baseball tournament at Cedar point..We were SO lucky that Captain JJ was available to take us out. He was great at finding the fish, helping us fish, and keeping the rods out in the water. What a hard worker! Definitely a nice way to spend our Sunday! My youngest son started getting sick towards the end, and still got back to shore and said he had a great time. Thanks for the awesome experience, we were excited to catch so many fish!
