A&C Sportfishing Charters LLC is a full-service fishing charter company operating along the southern banks of Lake Erie. Locally-owned and operated by Captain Alex Zelinko, every charter has been built from years of experience out on the lake. You'll be fishing the best spots around to bring in a boatload of fish and have a blast doing so!

Capt. Alex's 272 Sport-Craft boat was built to dominate the lake. Her ample deck space lets you all fish at once while dipsy divers and planer boards bring hard-to-reach fish. She has a livewell to keep your bait fresh and ice chests for you catch. In short, she has everything you'll need for some awesome angling.

The boat has plenty of room for up to 6 guests. She has a comfortable cabin where you can escape the elements and even has a private head (bathroom) for extra comfort on longer trips. This makes her perfect for families, kids, and anyone who wants to enjoy a great day on Lake Erie.

Spend the day chasing either Walleye or Steelhead, Capt. Alex's specialty species. Walleye trips focus on either drifting or trolling, while Steelhead fishing involves a variety of techniques depending on how deep the fish are.

All A&C Sportfishing Charters trips come with quality rods and reels, as well as a choice of lures and live bait. Capt. Alex prepares his bait ahead of the trip so you can spend as much time as possible fishing. So grab your fishing license and food and drinks and jump aboard for a classic Lake Erie fishing experience!

Great trip
5 Hour Trip Walleye AM on June 19, 20266 adults

Alex was awesome. He accepted our reservation last minute after another captain canceled, saying the conditions were too rough. Lake Erie averages 2-3 ft chop. We experienced about 3-6 ft chop. Alex handled it like a pro, put us on 28 walleye and a handful of drum. Very happy with the experience overall and would highly recommend Alex!
