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!

Walleye Fishing With Family!!

Half Day – (PM) on June 30, 2025

Captain Jeff gave our family a safe and enjoyable fishing trip on day with heavy rain conditions. Everyone on board caught fish. Captain Jeff gave informational instructions that were easy to follow while making everyone feel safe and comfortable in operating fishing gear for some for the first time.

Went out with our 4 kids, 21,18,15 and 8! All had a great time. We caught over 20 keepers, and could have caught more, yet we were heading to Niagara the next day and only wanted to keep what we could enjoy that night, so took it easy. Jeff is a great man and wise guide.

Captain Jeff was wonderful

VERIFIED

Late Start! on May 21, 2025

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!

Best fishing charter!!

VERIFIED

Half Day - (AM) on May 26, 2025

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!!

angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

The captain started fishing at a very young age. His grandfather had a boat on Lake Erie. Not only did his father also have a boat on Lake Erie, but he had a Bass boat too. Needless to say, the captain didn't have a chance of not becoming a fisherman! If they weren't on Lake Erie fishing, they were on one of the other nearby inland lakes. Since the captain was about the age of 10 and onwards, he and his family have fished at least one tournament a week. Fishing has simply always been what they did and there aren't many styles the captain doesn't have some sort of experience in.
