Fishin Mission Charters is ready to take you and your crew out on a fishing adventure on beautiful Lake Erie! The Walleye Capital of the World provides outstanding fishing opportunities. On top of that, you'll have Captain Paul Schill by your side, which is more than enough to have a successful day on the water.

Capt. Paul's 25' Sportcraft is always ready for a day of trolling or casting. This vessel accommodates up to 4 guests and there's enough room for everybody to fish at the same time. She's equipped with live wells, plenty of storage space, a fresh water sink, and a marine toilet.

You'll fish near the world famous Cedar Point Amusement Park and the Lake Erie Islands. The beginning of the fishing season is usually reserved for trolling, jigging at the reefs, or drift fishing for Walleye. From July onwards, Perch is also in the cards. Capt. Paul coaches every guest for trolling and he prides himself that every guest can consider himself a fully capable Walleye fisherman after the trip.

The captain will provide you with the top-notch fishing equipment – he uses Daiwa and Cabela's for trolling, and Fenwick and St Croix for casting. You can keep the catch and the captain can clean it for a small fee. You should purchase your fishing license before the trip and bring your snacks and drinks.

Fishin Mission Charters always customize their trips depending on the guest's experience and needs. Capt. Paul wants everybody to leave his boat with the skill to catch the fish on their own. If learning something new and a box full of tasty fish sound interesting, you know who you should call!

    Great fishing trip. I would highly recommend.

    5 Hour Trip – Walleye on August 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    This was a surprise fishing trip for my son who is absolutely obsessed with fishing. He has only ever fished for trout, bass and sun fish up until this trip. He has been asking to go fishing for catfish and that is what we did. He killed it with bringing in 15 catfish and catching his first trophy fish with a 29 ½ inch channel catfish. To say that he was was happy is an understatement. He had the greatest day ever and made memories he will never forget. Captain Paul was phenomenal. He was attentive and patient with my son whp is 12 years old. He didn't just fish for him. He taught him and told how and why he was doing it. We will 100% be booking another trip soon.

    Fantastic Fishing Trip

    5 Hour Trip – Walleye on August 22, 2026 • 3 adults

    We booked a day of Walleye fishing, however with the weather forecast, Captain Paul suggested we stay in the bay and fish for catfish. We agreed and had a fantastic day. We caught several fish and 3 fish being simultaneously reeled in a few times. We were able to land 2 trophy sized Channel Cats. I highly recommend fishing with Captain Paul at Fishin Mission.

    Paul is the best!!

    Yellow Perch—1 to 4 fishermen on July 7, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My two boys and I booked with Paul for a morning trip on Lake Erie. My sons have never fished in a body of water this large. Paul took the time to teach safety, the equipment and how to use properly and my sons took to his instruction immediately. In no time we were fishing and reeling them in. Paul is the best and we will certainly do this again soon.

I've been on a boat for more than 30 years. It is an honor and a privilege to be a Charter Captain. Self-employed at Aflac for 25 years. Also, I am a professional ring announcer for MMA Pro Boxing. I like all the methods used to hunt the Walleyes. Trolling is more productive but casting is an absolute blast. Just catch fish!

    we caught 2 drum/sheephead and 5 catfish. wewent for walleye. captain Paul was AWESOME I just wish we could've caught more fish. my daughter got a fish of a lifetime though with a 33 inch 20 lb channel catfish on a ultralight rod. all in all it was a fun day on the lake but 7 fish in 7 hours for $500 is kinda disappointing.
