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!

Great fishing experience!
Half Day - (Pm) on October 11, 20251 adult1 child
After reading a lot of reviews I decided to book a half day with Lake Erie Charter for my daughter and me. We had Robert as our captain and he was great at explaining everything to the both of us since it was our first time trolling (and fishing in Lake Erie). We ended up catching our limit of nice sized walleye well within our allotted four hour time and decided to head back in early as my 9 yr old was worn out from all of the reeling, lol. We did get to meet Tom, the owner, before we left and he seemed as polite and professional as our Captain. When we get a chance to go back I’ll definitely be a repeat customer as the experience for the both of us couldn’t have gone any better!

Really fun Trip
Full Day (Am) on July 26, 20256 adults
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

September Walleye Fishing Trip
Full Day (Am) With Fish Cleaning on September 14, 20254 adults
We have an incredible experience with Captian Jeremy and were able to catch our limit of walleye! Jeremy was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly, professional, and was able to get us on a ton of fish. I highly recommend booking with Lake Erie Charter Service and also paying for the fish cleaning at the end of the day!

Walleye Fishing With Family!!

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.
