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.

    Top notch!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 20, 2023 • 5 adults

    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.

    Captain Keith

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 28, 2025 • 5 adults

    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.

    First Time Great Lake Experience (Monroe, MI)

    Full Day Trip on November 16, 2019 • 3 adults

    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+

Captain Keith Zarembski has been fishing the Great Lakes for over 40 years. He comes from a family of anglers, so fishing runs in his blood. It's always been a dream of his to become a licensed captain one day, so after retirement, Captain Keith decided it was time to pursue his passion. He's a retired police officer with multiple certifications in scuba diving, making safety on the boat important for him. The captain loves taking families out on his boat, teaching kids and beginners how to fish, and making people smile!

  • A variety of Walleye neatly arranged on a cleaning table, showcasing a successful fishing trip.
    We had a great Am trip. Knocked out a five man limit (30 walleye) by noon. Caught 40+ walleye total. We also caught some catfish, drum, and silver bass to keep us busy.

    Today's forecast: 80% chance of showers and T-storms. We only had a slight drizzle at most and plenty of sun. The bugs weren't bad but we had the Milwaukee fan and thermocells ready for them. Sterling State Park to Bolles Harbor was more dirty then stained. Negative bite in stained water. Fished 23-19 foot of water. Bandits and Flicker minnows #9. Pink Lemonade, Bloody nose, and purple were the flavor of the day. 20-45 back. Fish were up high and were soft biting. The Flynn family were troopers and handled the firedrills thrown at them. Ended up with our limits, several short throwbacks, few knock-offs, and some silver bass/perch to keep them on point. Can't wait to have them on-board again. Thanks Mike, Brian, and Dave. Dates still available. Let's go fishing.

    Fished out in Brest Bay and towards Bolles Harbor. Caught a 3 man limit with multiple throwbacks of white bass. 14-18 foot of water and 24-28 foot of water. Custom Bandits and Flicker minnows.
