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!

If you're itching for some of the best Walleye, Perch and Smallmouth Bass fishing experiences that Lake Erie has to offer, just head to Oak Harbor, Ohio and find Seeing Red Charters! Captain JJ specializes in putting his clients on top of the hottest bite. I welcome you on my 30' Sportcraft with plenty of fishing room, and a walk-around bow for added space. I supply the finest rods, reels, tackle and live bait. I have a 454 Chevy engine that will get us to that hot bite fast. You will only find top of the line electronics on board, and the boat has a restroom for your convenience. Seeing Red Charters will put you on fish. We use light tackle drifting and we also troll. If you bring the little ones I will help them catch their own fish. Life jackets for them will be provided and there is no age limit. You can keep the catch or release it back to the water, it's completely up to you. Just buy a valid fishing license before the trip. Let's go have some fun!
