When you're in the mood for some excellent fishing on Lake Erie, turn to Crooked Creek Charters! Captain Ted Race will be your guide to the strong bite, and he's been fishing these waters for over a decade, so he knows exactly where to go to put you on the fish.

Come fish aboard a 29' Striper walkaround rigged with twin new 300 HP Suzuki engines, that are not only very quiet, but also eco-friendly. The vessel is spacious and can sit up to 6 anglers, and you can cast your line from every part of the boat. There's both hot and cold running water on the boat, along with a private toilet, and an air-conditioned cabin.

Capt. Ted has two big coolers to keep your catch fresh, as well as a sizeable live bait well. You will use Okuma fishing rods and reels, and live bait will be provided before the trip. You just need to pack your fishing license (buy it online or in the nearby tackle shop), drinks, snacks, and lunch.

On Lake Erie, choosing the right speed and depth to troll is everything, and your guide has the experience and precision to help you catch your limit. Walleye fishing is superb here, but Yellow Perch and Smallmouth Bass are equally abundant and fun to catch. You will be using light tackle exclusively and that will make every fishing fight more exhilarating.

After your trip, the guide and the first mate will clean the catch for your convenience. The first mate will also assist with everything while you're fishing. For his efforts, 20% tip is customary and appreciated.

If you like to fish with your kids, Capt. Ted loves having little ones on his boat, and he's got suitable life jackets for them too. Crooked Creek Charters takes special care of the anglers' safety, and goes the extra mile to organize your next great fishing adventure. If it swims, they can catch it!

Hooked for Life – Unmatched Experience with Crooked Creek Charters!
Evening Trip – Walleye on July 14, 20256 adults
Captain Ted of Crooked Creek Charters gave us an unforgettable experience! My kids and I had an absolute blast out on the water and caught a ton of fish. What truly set this trip apart was Captain Ted’s knowledge and approach — he didn’t just bait hooks and reel in lines for us. He actually took the time to teach and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and fun to learn. You walk away not only with a cooler full of fish, but with skills and confidence to go again. His boat is top-notch — clean, comfortable, and fully equipped — and it’s clear he leaves no stone unturned to make the trip as smooth and successful as possible. To top it all off, he took the time at the end of the charter to capture a stunning sunset photo of our group. It was the perfect ending to an already incredible day. If you’re looking for a fishing trip that’s both exciting and educational, look no further. Captain Ted is the real deal. We’ll definitely be back!

Half day walleye trip on August 22, 20255 adults
The half day charter was all we needed. 30 walleye caught and Ted even cleaned the fish on the way back to the dock. The boat was very clean and had everything we needed. He has a system and it very efficient. Would recommend this charter for any age.
