If you’re serious about exploring Lake Erie, then you need to book a trip with Bass Fishing Lake Erie. Lake Erie bass fishing local team of guides who enjoy teaching others to fish. As a family business, we’ll put your whole family at ease and comfort. Everyone will enjoy a day out with us. When you head out on the waters of Lake Erie with our Captain, you’ll have the fishing adventure of a lifetime!

Hop on board these 21’, 22’, or 24’ bass boats, which can easily accommodate groups of up to 2, 3, and 4 anglers, all fishing at the same time. The boat comes equipped with full safety and navigational features, so you can fish with peace of mind.

A significant highlight of fishing on Lake Erie is fishing for Smallmouth Bass during the spring and early summer. You can sight cast for huge Smallmouth Bass with artificial lures, all of which the captain will provide. Whether you want to throw grubs, drop shots, jerk baits, or topwater baits, you can have a fishing trip you’ll never forget – and don’t worry, you’ll know what all of these are after a journey with us.

All Captains will let you know about changing regulations for keeping Bass. Outside of this season, these fish are strictly caught and released. This is not a trip to fill up the freezer but to have a lot of fun catching hard-fighting fish. When you explore the waters of Lake Erie, expect tired arms from catching more bass than you can imagine.

All the rods, reels, and tackle are included in the price. We use brands, so you know this gear won’t let you down when you go after big fish!

You’ll need to buy a fishing license before the day of the trip. You are welcome to bring food and drink along, which can go into the captain’s built-in cooler.

Book a trip today with Bass Fishing Lake Erie for an unforgettable day out the whole family will enjoy!

Great Late July Bass Bite
Half Day Trip - 4hrs (AM) on July 25, 20253 adults
Captain Mark and his first mate Aiden were great! They put my sons and I on the largemouth early and often. I think we boated 25 in the first 3 hours. Mark was knowledgeable, patient and easy to work with and his boat was a dream. Everybody was in on the action and had a wonderful time! Mark’s appreciation for wildlife and the fish we caught was truly remarkable. Will definitely look at returning to experience Lake Erie smallmouth in the fall/summer months. I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone that wants to tap into Lake Erie bass fishing!

Quick Flex Trip - 2hrs - 7PM on August 2, 20254 adults
Captain Mark and Aiden were incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel welcome right from the start. As first-time anglers, we had a lot to learn, but they were patient, informative, and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. Thanks to them, we learned so much and had an unforgettable day on the water. This was a fantastic experience for my whole family, and we’re already looking forward to booking another charter with them the next time we’re in Lake Erie. Highly recommend!
