Scott Harrop4.7VerifiedGreat trip
Walleye Charter 1/2 day on August 13, 2026 • 6 adultsIf you’re looking to have the full experience charter this is your guy! Had a little experience down rigging in the past but this added a whole new element to the fun! Dig right in setting lines checking things actually doing some work so your more involved. We had a great time with Ben and will be doing it again.
Carole Bissonnette5.0VerifiedAmazing day on the lake
6 Hour Trip – Weekend (AM) on August 20, 2022 • 4 adultsWe decided to go on the lake fishing for our anniversary, we found the fish whisperer out of Port Burwell. Ben was great, his boat is large and perfect for fishing on the lake. Ben knows his stuff and has state of the art equipment. We highly recommend. We can't wait to do this again.
Sonny Eastman5.0VerifiedHalf day fishing trip with Captain Ben and Bill
4 Hour Trip – Weekday (morning) on August 31, 2020 • 2 adultsThis was the first time my son and I had been on a fishing charter. I have to say Captain Ben and Bill were absolutely amazing. They took the time to explain everything to us in great detail. The boat & fishing gear was clean, and in great shape. Everything went as planned. We had a great morning, caught lots of fish and Captain Ben and Bill treated us like family. What more could you ask for. Looking forward to fishing with them again in the future.
