Fishing with Todd
Full Day Trip on August 2, 2024
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.

A perfect outing with an expert operation

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!

Best Family Fishing Trip
Full Day Trip on July 12, 2024
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.
