Spend a fantastic day on Lake Erie with Pacifictime Sportfishing! This charter not only welcomes children but encourages them to come aboard. Captain Todd Pavlik loves teaching people how to fish and the little ones are no exception. All ages are welcome, so bring your whole family and set off to a new adventure.
Captain Todd welcomes you aboard his 30’ Pursuit offshore fishing boat. She’s powered by twin 265 HP Crusader engines that can reach high speeds and take you to your fishing spot very fast. The boat accommodates up to 5 guests and there’s enough room for everybody to fish at the same time.
This spacious boat also has a private toilet and resting area and she’s equipped with a cooler to keep your snacks and drinks fresh. The captain provides life vests for everybody age 8 and above, so please bring the smaller ones if your kids are younger.
You’ll target Walleye, Steelhead, and Yellow Perch, mostly using trolling. You can keep the catch and the crew will clean it for you. Your fishing equipment is included in the price but you’ll need to purchase your fishing license in advance.
A trip with Pacifictime Sportfishing could be the one where your kid catches their first fish. It may even start a lifelong passion for fishing, so you may have to buy a few rods after the trip. Book a trip with Capt. Todd and spend unforgettable family time on Lake Erie.

Pacifictime Sport fishing boat is a well equipped Great Lakes fishing boat. Captain Todd and the First mate Nick are a more than capable crew, as well, more than capable fisherman, absolutely on point every step of the way. They had the boat ready to go at the morning meeting spot, on time. Once we arrived at the fishing area it was mesmerizing how the crew set out a spread of rods to accommodate the 4 fisherman on board and it was great that the fish cooperated as well. Also they did a great job at preserving the catch as well as cleaning and packing. A real pro job! It was a trip that went right every step of the way. Thank you Pacifictime Sport fishing.

Captain Todd and First Mate Nick met us at the courtesy gate at Lampe Marina. From there, my two sons and I boarded their well outfitted boat. We felt immediately welcomed and safe. We motored beyond the peninsula for about 20 minutes while witnessing a beautiful sunrise. A fair breeze made for some chop, but lines and rigs were in the water quickly, and before all the gear was out, the walleye started biting. 12 lines out— and they had more, but the hungry fish interrupted setting them up— and we were pulling in catch after catch. They masterfully kept us from snags while netting, unhooking and stowing away our catch. They took time if we wanted pictures and coached us through everything. After we caught our limit, we returned to the dock where they measured, weighed and cleaned our catch. Our biggest were right around 6 pounds! We are ready for a yummy fish fry!

It was our first time on Lake Erie and the entire family had a great time. We left at 6am and had 35 walleye in the live well shortly after 9am. At different points, we were reeling in 3 fish at a time. We were back on the dock with cleaned fish by 10. Captain Todd and Nick were excellent, smooth operation keeping all those rods fishing with no hangups. Kids had a blast, we’re hoping to fish again with them.
