Book your next trip with Erie Hopper Charters and find out what you’re missing in Port Clinton. With Captain Dennis at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Walleye, Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! You can expect to do some spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. The captain prides himself on making sure his customers are fishing with a rod in hand and does not do trolling. Any fish you catch are yours to keep, so long as they’re within the legal limit.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your boat for the day is a 30’ Island Hopper drift boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures and live bait.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t forget to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. 

Your trip with Erie Hopper Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Great trip. Fantastic day
7 Hour Trip – April Jigging on April 6, 20246 adults
Started out cold ,windy and cloudy. Weather changed to a great spring day. Dennis did a fantastic job with everything. Answers and advice as needed. All the gear was great. He was on top of landing fish and handling any issues. Did his best to get us fish. Ended the day with 21 walleye after a slow start. Booking a trip with him for next year. See you again next spring. Terry Kubiak and the gang.

7 Hour Trip (PM) on June 17, 20236 adults
Amazing experience! Captain Dennis was very knowledgeable and made absolutely sure we had a good time. We were a group of 6 from out of town with ZERO fishing experience. He taught us the basics and made sure to guide us throughout the day. We went home with a full ice-box! We will be booking with Captain Dennis and the Eerie Hopper again! You should too!
