Make the most of the “Walleye Capital of the World” with Fish Butcher Charters. Leave the shores of Port Clinton behind and discover some serious fishing in the productive waters of Lake Erie. You’ll explore the famous lake’s western basin in search of some delicious and exciting fish, all with an experienced guide.

Captain Roger Butcher has fished the Great Lake for years, becoming a guide in his retirement. He specializes in fishing with light tackle and hopes to help you make the catch of your life as you fish with him. Let him show you why fishing is his biggest passion.

Step aboard the 30’ Sportcraft performance fishing boat and get your fish on. A spacious vessel, she can cater to up to 6 guests, with everyone able to fish at the same time. Fitted with a toilet, she’ll look after all your needs, while the onboard livewell, fishfinder, and GPS will make all your fishing dreams come true.

Capt. Roger can arrange for a deli-style lunch and some drinks to be provided, but you should also feel free to bring your own. Just make sure not to bring any glass bottles or hard liquor aboard.

When it comes to the fishing, you’re in for some of the best freshwater fishing the country has to offer. With light tackle, you’ll get to bottom fish to entice the bite of Perch and Walleye. Both known for their taste, you’d better bring your A-game to fill the boat and head home with the prospect of a tasty treat, as they’re sure to put up a fight to get off the end of your line.

What are you waiting for? Come and experience the Great Lakes with Fish Butcher Charters. Capt. Roger and his first mate can’t wait to welcome you aboard.

Great Day
Full Day Walleye Trip – Walleye on June 27, 20243 adults2 children
We booked this charter last minute and we had nice time. I was hesitant because of the cold front that blew through day before but ended the day with 11 fish. We really didn’t get into the walleye grounds till after few hours on the water. We had couple younger kids on board and Captain was wanting the waves to die down little before hitting the open water. Once we got there we started catching walleye. Lots of walleye but also lot of throwbacks, which happens. There is no doubt, if captain would have taken us straight there in rougher water would have caught more walleye but wanted to make sure the younger guys enjoyed themselves. We caught bunch fish all day. We will definitely be back and book with Roger again. The other thing that I liked. We fished and didn’t troll. I would be more happy catching 10 fish than 20, with being able to cast and set the hook. You get to actually fish! Thanks again Roger for great day. Thanks to Tyler from get for cleaning our fish. We will be back!

Fun Full Day Combo Trip
Full Day Trip – Combo on August 10, 20232 adults
We went out with Captain Roger and his mate, Dick, on a full day combo perch/walleye trip. We had an absolute blast! We were fishing within a short time from leaving the marina, and into the perch quickly after anchoring. We all had our limits of perch after about 90 minutes, 120 total fish! We moved onto chasing walleye, managing some other types of fish along with our walleye. Capt Roger worked hard to find the fish and put us on them and Dick is a fun tour guide as we were moving between spots. And Roger's boat is very spacious, he keeps it clean, and it runs fast and smooth. We look forward to our next trip! Thank you!

The captain and his first mate did an amazing job socializing, assisting, and making sure all things went smoothly. Although our day was cut short due to a pop up thunderstorm. We had an amazing time and would absolutely do it again. Now all we have left is to cook all this fish we caught.
