Come join Lake Erie Charter Service LLC for an epic fishing adventure.
This charter is as much about fishing as creating an enjoyable experience for every type of angler. Whether you are the angler who wants to be handed a rod with a fish already hooked, or the angler who wants to be a part of every step, Captain Tom Ullum has you covered!

Capt. Tom grew up fishing Lake Erie, and he’s all about having a good time on the water. With him as your guide, you’ll have the chance to target some of this Great Lake’s famous species – Walleye and Steelhead! In addition to this, your captain is more than prepared to accommodate any special requests, so don’t hesitate to ask. He’ll help you tailor your trip to perfectly suit your preferences.

You’ll be fishing from your captain’s 30’ Hewescraft Alaskan, freshly on the water in 2021. Powered by two 200 HP Mercury outboards and a 15 HP kicker motor, it can accommodate up to 6 guests in comfort. The vessel is decked out with top-quality navigational and safety gear, life jackets for a variety of ages, as well as gear that’ll help you drift fish and troll for your catch. Usually, there will be up to 12 lines in the water at all times and, when the fish bite, you’ll take it in turns to fight it.

When it comes to the trips on offer, your captain recommends that experienced anglers opt for the Steelhead/Walleye combo adventure. It’s great way to test your skills and catch some tasty fish. All of your captain’s other trips can be adjusted to fit anglers of all skill levels, and shorter trips are the perfect option for families traveling with little ones. If you’re not sure which trip to opt for, just speak to Capt. Tom beforehand, and he’ll help you out.

Your captain will provide you with rods, reels, lures, and bait. You’ll need to bring along snacks and drinks, a cooler to store your catch in, and a valid fishing license. Then you just need to get ready to cast off on an excellent adventure with Lake Erie Charter Service LLC!

Really fun Trip

Our boat was in great shape, well cared for, all the the fishing equipment was excellent quality, we trolled with very sensitive 30lb Braid. The Skipper and First mate were very skilled, an extremely nice people. They worked hard to keep all poles, 16 in the water fishing st all times , we had 5 people fishing. We probably caught at least. 50 fish. 26 keeper Walleys, I caught a very nice 7-8 lb Steelhead trout. We caught several large Sheaphead, nit hot table fare but still strong fish. And we caught a nice size White Bass. Overall an excellent day on the water. Would defiantly recommend this crew to anyone wanting to fish Lake Erie. This was my first time fishing this lake. However I have been fishing for 60 yrs. And I think my impression of our this. Tee is valid. Lots of fun

We had a great time and caught our limit of walleye. Our kids (ages 4, 7, 8) had a trip that they will never never forget. We will definitely be back and will recommend Lake Erie charter to anyone that is interested in a fantastic charter.

Captain Jeff was wonderful

VERIFIED

We had a great time on our trip. The weather looked iffy but we had the perfect window of time to get out & fish. We didn't catch many but it wasn't for lack of trying. I appreciated Captain Jeff showing me how to use the equipment since I hadn't fished since I was a kid. This was a Father's Day gift for my dad from my sister & I- what wonderful memories to make with him! Thanks Captain Jeff!

It was my pleasure to share the moment with you guys and your Dad. You may not be able to talk about all the fish catching, but no one will forget those 5 foot swells! Thank you for booking with us!

Best fishing charter!!

VERIFIED

We had the absolute best charter with Jeff! We not only caught our limit in walleye, but Jeff also taught us how to get the lines in the water. We had so much fun learning all the aspects and it was nonstop action all morning. Jeff was such a great teacher and we had such a good time. We will definitely book with Lake Erie Charter Services again!!

Jeremy and Steve were fantastic and helped us catch all the walleye we could. They found some great fishing spots, even after the lake had turned over. Great day spent on the boat.
