Get ready to chase the Walleye bite on Lake Erie with Five-O fishing Charters. Captain Keith Zarembski has been fishing the Great Lakes for over 40 years and knows all the best spots to get you hooked up. His business is focused on delivering top-notch customer service to all types of anglers, regardless of your level of experience.

You’ll be fishing from a 26’ 8" Hewescraft Ocean Pro 240 Hardtop Alaskan style fishing boat, The boat is powered by a 300 HP Suzuki outboard and a 9.9 HP Suzuki EFI kicker outboard. This vessel is known for its durability even in the toughest offshore conditions and is ocean-rated. The pilothouse cabin has a rear bulkhead door and will keep you warm and dry. It has an onboard diesel heater system and a private porta-potty toilet. The boat is equipped with 2 Lowrance HDS 12 units with auto-pilot, i-Troll, a Fish Hawk speed module, and a VHF marine radio. She accommodates up to 6 guests, and kids of all ages are welcome to join in on the action.

Your main target species is Walleye but you may also encounter other freshwater fish, such as Perch and Steelhead. All fishing equipment, lures, and bait are included in the trip. The main technique you’ll be using is trolling crankbaits, spoons, or nightcrawler harnesses.

A Michigan fishing license is required and depending on the bite, an Ohio fishing license may be an option. The Michigan/Ohio border is close enough to chase the bite in deeper waters. You can buy one online or at any local retailer or bait shop. Feel free to bring a cooler for your snacks and drinks as well and be sure to dress according to the weather.

Captain Keith

VERIFIED

Captain Keith and 1st Mate were fantastic. They worked their tails off getting us on the fish with the odds stacked against us between the warm water temps and the recent mayfly hatch. We’d like to schedule another trip next Spring when the Walleyes are on the bite. Captain Keith is a class act through and through.

Took a few customers out for a day of fishing. Keith was very knowledgeable of the waters. The boat was comfortable for the five of us plus the captain and first mate. The equipment was all in tip top shape. Everyone had a great time. Thank you Keith! We will definitely be booking again.

This trip was a birthday gift (went with family) and Capt. Keith made every effort to make sure it was a memorable one. Great customer service from beginning to end, This guy actually knows his stuff on species and technique, which I was looking to focus on. On-boat experience and equipment were above standard. I've been on a few of these trips and its been a while since someone actually took the time go through the safely rules before boarding. A+

Great to have the Northern Virginia family aboard. Very eager to ask questions and learn the Walleye trolling techniques. Solid group of guys and had fun with them. Welcome back to fish anytime! Thanks again. Happy holidays.
