    6-Hr Walleye Trip with Capt Mike

    4 Hour Trip – Morning on July 1, 2019 • 2 adults

    I cannot recommend Capt Mike highly enough. I’m just back from the best experience I’ve yet had walleye fishing on Erie (and I’ve had some true gems before this one). Mike welcomes you aboard like a long-awaited friend and does all he can to make your experience what YOU want it to be. His interpersonal skills are only exceeded by his fishing expertise. Bless you, Mike, for treating my son & I like Great Lakes royalty today (and for helping us fill our limits!)

    My fishing experience with Captain Mike was a great time. He was friendly, had a clean boat, and put us on the fish. He was happy to answer any questions and made my girlfriend and I feel comfortable. Would definitely book Capt. Mike again.

    Captain Mike was fantastic. Even with the bad rains and flooded docks, he went out of his way to get us on a great fishing spot. His boat was immaculate and his equipment was state of the art. I would highly recommend using his charter.
