JT Sportfishing Charters
Looking to share your passion for fishing with your family? Maybe you want to tick a monster fish off your bucket list? JT Sportfishing Charters will put you on top of the hottest bite on Lake Erie while providing premier service.
Captain John Tucholski invites you to join him for a fishing excursion on board his 30’ Sportcraft. She’s roomy and you can bring 5 of your family or fishing buddies with you. You’ll be on top of the fish after a quick and smooth ride, thanks to the 400 HP MerCruiser engine.
The boat is comfortable so you can focus on making the perfect cast. There’s a toilet on board, as well as a bed in case you want to take a break between the strikes.
Fishing with Capt. John is all about hooking up Walleye, Jumbo Perch, and Smallmouth Bass. He has a variety of packages available and he’s able to cater to any angler’s taste. If you’re looking to introduce your kids to the joys of fishing, the 4-hour trip is very family-friendly. You’ll drift on light tackle with the captain.
Anglers looking to hook up a trophy or beat their personal best should hit the waters of Lake Erie on the afternoon or full day trips.
Kids are welcome on board and the captain will provide every guest with all the necessary safety and fishing equipment. You’re free to bring your own tackle though.
Book a trip with JT Sportfishing Charters today and explore the bountiful waters of Lake Erie the right way, with a rod in your hands!

4 Hour Trip – Afternoon Walleye
Unforgettable Charter Fishing Experience!
I can’t say enough great things about our recent charter fishing trip! From the moment we arrived, Captain John made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Our captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the best fishing spots and made the whole experience both fun and educational, despite the windy and continuous rainy weather. We caught more fish than we ever expected—and the Captain John was right there to help with baiting, reeling, and even cleaning our fish at the end. His passion for what he does really shines through, and it made the trip all the more enjoyable.

The boys fishing trip was one of their best!
This trip was a graduation celebration! All 6 guys couldn’t say enough about how awesome the trip was. They had a nice smooth trip and caught their limit of fish, which is always a plus! Definitely 100% recommend. They are talking about going again next year!

EXCELLENT 7 HOUR FISHING EXPERIENCE WITH JT AND HIS FIRST MATE
My wife and I had never been fishing on any of the Great Lakes. This was not just a fishing trip to Lake Erie. This was an experience that pulled me away from the cube farm and gave me and my wife a shared experience that we will never forget. I cannot thank JT and his First Mate for all the help, instruction, and great conversation and, most importantly their vigilance in some of the more crowded areas where we were fishing. To sum up the experience I would state that I left in a peaceful state of mind with a freezer full of Yellow Perch. V/R LJW and CAW
